MADRID, Spain -- Madrid is celebrating the success of its two major football clubs after Atletico Madrid ensured a historic Champions League final derby against crosstown rival Real Madrid. Atleticos 3-1 victory at Chelsea saw it progress to its first European Cup final in 40 years, where record champion Madrid awaits after crushing titleholder Bayern Munich 5-0 over two legs. Atletico is on the verge of an historic double as it closes in on its first Spanish league title in 18 years, while Madrid is chasing a treble after winning the Copa del Rey against Barcelona. The feat is all the more impressive for Atletico, which under coach Diego Simeone has completely turned from a club with a history for underachieving and late collapses into a European heavyweight. "Atletico is a real team," Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho said after Wednesdays defeat. "It knows how to be strong in defence and when to come out and attack. Its a great team." One year after an all-German Champions League final, the continents top competition has its first ever final between clubs from the same city. "Im happy that its an all-Spanish final," Atletico playmaker Koke said of the May 24 date in Lisbon. "Its going to be a special day, a very nice day because all of Madrid will be in Lisbon." The final will also highlight the teams different philosophies and history. Atleticos blue-collar base is far removed from Reals home in the northwest Chamartin area with its leafy avenues, luxury homes, and expensive cars. Madrid is the record 32-time Spanish champion with nine European Cups, and record revenues that are nearly five times that of Atletico allow it to pay for Ballon dOr recipient Cristiano Ronaldo and world-record 100 million euros signing Gareth Bale. Atleticos payroll is a fraction of Madrids or Barcelonas, and it is a club with a history of dubious finances. Yet Simeone, who was on the team that won the league-cup double in 1996, has nurtured a winning culture from a squad that has changed little since his arrival more than two years ago, and despite the sale of star striker Radamel Falcao in the off-season. "Its crazy to think were in the Champions League final," Atletico midfielder Tiago Mendes said. "But this team deserves it after everything it has accomplished." Madrid and Atletico have met just once before in the competition, in the 1959 semifinals, where Madrid won a replay 2-1 when their two-leg series finished 2-2. Atleticos only final appearance in 1974 saw it succumb to Bayern Munich 4-0 in a replay following a 1-1 draw. While Madrid beat Atletico en route to this seasons domestic cup trophy, Atletico still enjoyed a breakthrough year against its city neighbour, which is returning to the final for the first time since 2002. Atletico beat Madrid in the Copa del Rey final last season for its first win over its city rival in 25 games. It followed that up with a league victory at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium followed by a draw at home at the Vicente Calderon. Spanish leader Atletico is six points ahead of Madrid, which has one game in hand, with three left to play, while Barcelona trails the Spanish leader by four points. The league has been dominated by Madrid and Barcelona since Valencia was the last club besides the big two to win the championship in 2004. But Atletico could clinch its first title since 1996 with a victory against Levante on Sunday if both Madrid and Barcelona lose their games. The all-Spanish final also proves the domestic league is healthy despite continued economic problems. Either Sevilla or Valencia will also advance to the Europa League final. Even the citys cleanup crews should have an easy time co-ordinating their work following the victors celebrations. Madrid traditionally celebrates its triumphs at Plaza de Cibeles, while Atleticos fans gather just down the street at Plaza de Neptuno. "This is the final all Madridistas have been waiting for," Madrid fan Jose Luis Marron Rodriguez said. "Whatever the result, the European Cup stays at home. Now, let the best team win -- I just hope its Madrid." Cheap Nike Air Max Outlet . 22. Wade averaged 26.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.0 steals while leading the Heat to a 3-0 record.

Fake Nike Air Max Replica . -- The Oakland Raiders expect to have starting right tackle Tony Pashos back for Sundays game against the Houston Texans.PHOENIX - Malcolm Smith stood out for always being in the right spot.He was waiting to corral Richard Shermans fourth-quarter deflection for the clinching interception in the NFC championship a year ago to send Seattle to the Super Bowl.His eyes were up and focused on Peyton Mannings fluttering pass that fell into his arms for a pick six in the second quarter of last years Super Bowl. And he hustled downfield to be in position to recover a fumble in the second half, all of which added up to the former seventh-round pick becoming an unlikely Super Bowl MVP.Fast-forward 12 months with the Seahawks back in the Super Bowl and Smith doesnt stand out as part of this Seattle defence. Slowed by an ankle injury since the off-season, Smith is still an important part of Seattles special teams, but he rarely sees the field on defence.In Seattles two playoff victories, Smith was in for two defensive snaps. Both were goal line situations in the NFC championship against Green Bay.It hasnt been difficult at all. Im part of a team, thats my role. I dont see it as anything different, Smith said. Of course its hard not to get the reps in the game and be ready.Smith didnt exactly become a household name after being named Super Bowl MVP. But he certainly became more recognizable.He was the surprise choice, highlighted by his 69-yard interception return for a touchdown in the second quarter that gave Seattle a 22-0 lead over Denver. Nearly anyone on Seattles defence could have earned MVP honours after the 43-8 rout. Smith just happened to stand out a little more than anyone else.Of course, being MVP came with all the trappings: The day after press conference; the parade with Mickey Mouse; a new truck. But for Smith, the only difference he felt was people want to put mics in your face nnow.ddddddddddddHes handled it great. I had no concern about that. Hes had a lot of fun. Its been a great thrill to be able to represent as an MVP in that game. He got the truck and everything, Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. ... Hes worked like crazy and been there for us every step of the way.Still, the return to the Super Bowl has not gone how Smith hoped. He was slowed throughout the off-season by ankle surgery that carried over into training camp. Smith never saw the practice field until Aug. 19.It didnt go as smoothly as expected and its something I have to deal with, he said.He played 52 snaps in Week 2 against San Diego, but three weeks later didnt see the field on defence in Washington. Smith started three games when All-Pro linebacker Bobby Wagner was out with a toe injury. One of the best games of Smiths career came in a Week 7 loss at St. Louis when he had a career-high 10 tackles and forced a fumble.But when Wagner returned after Seattles Week 11 loss at Kansas City, the Seahawks cut down on their rotations at linebacker. The Seahawks went almost exclusively with K.J. Wright, Bruce Irvin and Wagner, and when Irvin became a pass rusher, Seattle would bring in an extra defensive back.Smith didnt play a single defensive snap between Weeks 12 and 15. He was in for nine plays in Week 16 at Arizona and 16 plays in Week 17 against St. Louis, but that was it.The decreased playing time has raised the question of Smiths future in Seattle as hell become a free agent in the off-season. Smith seems realistic about his spot now and potentially in the future.As far as being a reserve player, Im a seventh-round draft pick, Smith said. Its not like I came in here a first-round draft pick.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
