The Atletico now lives only for the Champions League. Beaten twice in the final over the past three years, the Colchoneros have returned to the fight with the same grinta, infused by the emblematic Argentinian Diego Simeone. After finishing in front of Bayern in his group, the club of Madrid confirmed that he would be a very big claim to the title by winning 2-4 at the Bayer. A win that allows Gameiro, Griezmann and his partners to tackle with tremendous calm this match back to Vicente Calderon. Capable of everything in front but much too tender defensively, the Germans have all interest to quickly pack this meeting, hoping to open the score. Beware of the correction for a club recently humiliated 6-2 at Dortmund in the Bundesliga. Guaranteed show this Wednesday evening in the Spanish capital.
