Tonight, we play in the Champions. The continent's top club competition is back with our team’s duel against Bayer Leverkusen. It will be in the first leg of the round of 16 and will take place in Leverkusen’s BayArena.

It will not be the first time that Atlético faces the German team in the Champions League. In the 2014-15 season, this same duel already took place, also in the round of 16. In the first league, our team was defeated by 1-0 and the same result was repeated at the Calderón. We managed to advance in the penalty shootouts.

We arrive after winning Sporting de Gijón at El Molinón. Gameiro, who was coming in from the bench, scored three goals in only 4 minutes and 45 seconds to end the match with a 1-4.
