Atlético on the brink of Champions League top-8
Atlético de Madrid defeated Bayer Leverkusen with two goals from Julián Alvarez at the Metropolitano, placing them in fifth place in the standings with 15 points, two more than Aston Villa, ninth and outside the top-8.
The red and white team depends on itself to advance directly to the round of 16, as if they win against Salzburg in the final matchday they will achieve it. The chances of Atlético finishing in the top-8 are 81.5%, according to Opta’s analysis.
