Beating the multiple Europa League winners Sevilla 3-0 at the weekend should be seen as a strong signal from Atletico Madrid to the competition. That's another reason why the hosts should be victorious next Tuesday. Especially since they desperately need points and the Belgians can't quite keep up at this level anyway. The Atleti have not lost any of their last 16 Champions League home games against a club that was not one of Europe's top 5 leagues. A Belgian club playing at the Metropolitano Stadium could therefore be fighting a losing battle, so to speak. Because Altetico have already lost two of their three main round games in this Champions League season as many as in the two previous years combined, Diego Simeone will hardly let the team rest. The Argentinian hates to lose, and given everything that is known about his mentality, the reaction is likely to be correspondingly lightning.
