UEFA Champions League
Atletico Madrid vs Bayern Munich
15:00 ET
On paper, the forces may be equal, since those led by Diego Simeone are second in La Liga, just one point behind Real Sociedad, leader of the tournament. However, the Bavarians thrashed the mattress 4-0 on the first date of this Champions League.
From then on, Atléti could not recover properly and barely adds one more point than Lokomotiv Moscow, in a group that should have dominated alongside the German giant. That is why this match is very important: a mattress defeat could result in the elimination of the tournament if Lokomotiv wins their match and the Madridistas do not add on the last date against Salzburg.
The visit comes as the only leader of the German tournament, with a very fired up and scorer Robert Lewandowski. In addition, the Germans are already classified for the next round so the pressure is transferred to the locals on the penultimate date of the group stage.
