Why Champions League Final El Clasico?

At least on Real Madrid's end, the opposition to a run to the Champions League final is not nearly as difficult as it could be.

They were the luckiest team of the draw for the last eight; a dominating Madrid side roundly thrashed minnows APOEL in Cyprus to a score of 3-0.

If and when Los Blancos advance, they face either a heavily slumping Marseille or Bayern Munich in the semifinals. Both are very beatable.

While Barcelona have a tougher task ahead of them in AC Milan, they definitely have the ability to take down Benfica or a Chelsea side that have slipped out of England's top four.
