Last Year’s Europa League Champions Atletico Madrid face Italian giants Juventus at the Wanda Metropolitano for the Round Of 16 Champions League tie. Both teams have a history of losing in the finals of this competition. Juventus have reached the finals on seven occasions but have only won it twice, Meanwhile Atletico Madrid has reached the finals on four occasions but have never won even a single final.
Atletico Madrid comes into this match after registering a narrow away win against La Liga relegation battlers Rayo Vallecano. Despite their inconsistent form Diego Simeone’s men are currently in second place in the La Liga table, seven points adrift arch-rivals Barcelona. Talisman Antoine Griezmann will look to be in his top shape and form having already scored 16 times this season. The possibility of playing in a home final is in their own hands.
Juventus enter this matchup continuing their dominant domestic form. They are the only unbeaten team domestically across Europe’s top 5 leagues. Cristiano Ronaldo would look add to his goal tally of 20 goals this season when he faces Atletico Madrid. Ronaldo would be the one most familiar to the Atletico Madrid squad having already faced them during his time at Real Madrid. On the other side, Massimiliano Allegri’s men do know the threat this Atletico side possesses having delivered some shock results in the past few years.
