Leipzig vs Atlético Madrid: Champions League preview

On paper, Atlético perhaps were given the kindest draw out of all of the Spanish teams left in the competition and after eliminating cup holders Liverpool, Simeone's team have looked a different side. However, they were knocked slightly off kilter earlier this week when two players - Ángel Correa and Sime Vrsaljko tested positive for coronavirus. Both players have remained at home but otherwise, Atleti are at full strength. Thomas Partey, who suffered a small muscle tear last month was included in El Cholo's 25-man squad - which featured some new faces - Manu Sánchez, Toni Moya and Riquelme. It will be a emotional return to Lisbon for João Félix, who spent several years in the Portuguese capital before joining Atleti last summer.

Like Atleti, Leipzig secured their place in the quarter finals after eliminating English opposition - and last year's finalists, Tottenham. Julian Nagelsmann's team have lost just once in this edition of the Champions League - to Olympique Lyon in the group stage. Since then they have lost joint top scorer Timo Werner who has completed his move to Chelsea while captain Marcel Sabitzer has been struggling to shake off a knee injury. Marcel Halstenberg only recently returned to training after a problem with his back but could start if he passes a late fitness test on the day of the game.
