Atletico Madrid's 3-0 loss to rivals Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final on Tuesday was just a continuation of results that have blighted the team for almost 60 years. Real's victory at the Santiago Bernabeu means they are poised to knock Atletico out of the competition for the fourth successive year. Madrid dominated from start to finish with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring a hat-trick, while Atletico only created two real chances in the first half, and wasted both. "We will try for something impossible, as we are Atletico Madrid, we are capable of doing it." Over 4,000 Atletico fans attended the game and they remained for over 15 minutes after the final whistle, singing about never giving up on their team.
