Twice in the last seven years Atletico Madrid has managed to reach the Champions League final, and in both cases has lost to Real Madrid. Now the city rival is also outside the factory, and the Colchoneros who ousted European champions Liverpool in the quarter-finals, want to go all the way. To be two games away from the target and qualify for the fourth semi-final in the last decade, Atletico need to pass tonight (Thursday) in Lisbon the RB. The impressive Leipzig - another team that finished in third place in its league and which easily overtook the finalist Tottenham in the previous stage. The winner will meet Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals.

multi. Leipzig of course have to deal without its star Timo Werner, who has been sold to Chelsea and has already moved to them. In his absence, Joseph Paulsen opens with a tip (which was in doubt). Atletico of course are missing Shima Versalko and Angel Correa who contracted Corona and remained in Madrid with the former meanwhile injured and unable to play. Joao Felix will start the game on the bench and wait for his chance.
