Simeone vs Xabi Alonso: a coach's duel at the Metropolitano
Atlético de Madrid hosts Bayer Leverkusen at the Metropolitano in a crucial Champions League match. The winner will secure a spot in the round of 16 and avoid the playoff round. This game will also be a clash between two coaches with different styles and gameplay, but who have managed to restore their respective clubs’ glory.
Simeone and Xabi Alonso come into this match with impressive winning streaks, but Leverkusen has the advantage of having won the last time they met at the Metropolitano in a dramatic finish. Atlético will only have one significant absence, Sorloth, while Leverkusen will have to deal with Terrier’s injury. The key to the game will be the strikers’ accuracy and the coaches’ ability to lead their teams to victory.
