UEFA Champions League: Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid: team news, prediction

Defending champions, Real Madrid will welcome Atletico in the first leg of the round of 16 at the Santiago Bernabeu. The 15-time European champion and current holders, have always gotten the better of Atletico in the Champions League over the years, beating them in the last two finals that they met each other.

Real Madrid are coming into this game following their 2-1 defeat against Real Betis on Saturday in LaLiga which they must get over when they host Atletico Madrid. However, the upside for Atletico is that Simeone’s men are yet to lose a match this season against either Real or Barcelona, while in the league, they beat the Catalan club 2-1 in Barcelona and drew 1-1 in both games they played against Real.
