Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Atletico Madrid will ensure its a white-hot atmosphere when Real Madrid arrive at The Metropolitano in the Champions League tonight.

Trailing from the first leg, Diego Simeone’s side must overturn a 2-1 deficit to reach the quarter-finals. Atletico have lost all four previous Champions League ties with their arch-rivals and will be determined to add another European exit to the tale of their rivalry.

Atletico can take encouragement from a strong home record in the Champions League. Eight of their last nine Champions League games on home soil have ended in victory. However, holders Real Madrid have reached at least the semi-finals in each of the last four campaigns.
