| The Knockout phase of the Champions League has begun last week. In this clash Atletico Madrid accept at home in the Wanda Metropolitano the Italian record champions Juventus. In the group stage, the guests from Torino were able to fihish in front of Manchester United. In the six games there were four wins and two defeats. Atletico Madrid, however, had to settle for second place behind Borussia Dortmund in Group A. In addition to the four wins, there was a draw and a defeat. For most bookmakers, the Italian record champions Juventus are easily the favorite to win in this game. In fact, they have a healthy mix between young highly talented players like Dybala, Can and experienced still high class players including Cristiano Ronaldo and Mandzukic. Allegri's side should try to score at least a goal or two, while Atletico coach Diego Simeone will tactically set his team more or less a little bit high at home. |
