Atleti Awaits Champions League Opponent: Onward to Glory!
The Champions League is heating up and Atlético de Madrid eagerly awaits to find out their next opponent in the round of 16. After an exciting group stage, Simeone’s team is preparing for a new European challenge. Friday’s draw will be key to determining the path to the final in Munich.
One of the possible opponents is already confirmed: Bayern Munich, an old acquaintance with whom the Rojiblancos have a history full of emotion. From that agonizing draw in the final’s extra time to the 2016 semi-finals, each clash has been a memorable battle.
The balance against the Bavarians is even, with wins, losses and draws that demonstrate Atleti’s competitiveness. The other possible opponent will come from the duel between Manchester City and Real Madrid.
City, whom Atlético faced in the 21-22 Champions League quarter-finals, leaving a great image at the Metropolitano. On the other hand, Real Madrid, a classic rival, has been a tough nut to crack in European competitions, especially in the finals.
But Atleti has always known how to stand up, starring in epic matches that will be etched in the memory of the fans. Cholo’s team is preparing thoroughly to face this new challenge. The first leg of the round of 16 will be played on March 4 or 5, while the return leg will be on March 11 or 12. Aúpa Atleti!
