Real Madrid risks a historic elimination in the 1/8 of the Champions League. “Los Blancos” start from the minimal advantage of a 2-1 victory in the first leg, but against Atletico at the “Wanda Metropolitano” this cannot serve as a guarantee.
To reach the quarter-finals and on the way to the Munich final, they must overcome Diego Simeone's team. Even a draw would be enough, while elimination would be dramatic, because for the first time in history Atletico would knock Real out of the Champions League.
"The freshness, clarity and quality of the players determine the winning team, not the coach. In this regard, Ancelotti is clearly superior to me. Real Madrid starts with an advantage, we are looking for the goal that will allow us to play our game. I have faith in my players and the support of the fans will help us. We need a great game," said Simeone, writes A2.
"Simeone is a great coach, we have a similar vision for football. This match with Atletico allows us to continue dreaming of the Champions League. In such matches, a good substitution makes the difference. This year has been more challenging than others, but we have confidence and we will fight until the end", said Ancelotti.
In the other matches where the quarter-finalist teams will be completed, everything is open in the match between Lille and Borussia Dortmund. The teams start from a 1-1 draw in Germany. On the other hand, Arsenal and Aston Villa are only waiting to formalize qualification, respectively after victories 7-1 with PSV Eindhoven and 3-1 with Club Brugge. (A2 Televizion)
