Atlético Madrid's future hangs in the balance in the Champions League
Atlético Madrid faces Sparta Prague in a crucial match for their Champions League aspirations. Simeone’s team currently sits in 23rd place in the Champions League group, and the three points are vital to continue in the competition.
If Atlético does not finish among the top 24 teams, they will be out of the competition and will not have the option to play in the Europa League, as has happened in the past. The team still has four games to play, and the squad has been assembled to fight for all titles. It would be a hard blow if the team does not advance in the Champions League.
