Atlético de Madrid, one step away from the next round of the Champions League
The Champions League has changed its format and now has a single classification for the 36 participants. With five rounds played, several favorites find themselves in a compromising situation.
Atlético de Madrid, for its part, took a giant step by beating Sparta Prague 0-6 and now has nine points and a favorable calendar. Their next game will be at the Metropolitano against Slovan Bratislava (December 11), which has lost all its games.
Then, they will receive Bayer Leverkusen in Madrid (January 21) and will close the league phase against Salzburg (January 29). The mattress team has a very good chance of reaching at least the playoff and even has options to sneak into the top-8.
