Atlético comes to this duel after playing a Champions match last week. In the first leg match of the European Cup’s last 16, the team won by 2-4 in a complicated field such as is the BayArena. Saúl, Griezmann, Gameiro and Fernando Torres scored against the German team.

Griezmann went down in the history of the club to become Atlético’s top scorer in the Champions League. With his goal against Bayer, he scored his thirteenth one in the championship, surpassing an Atlético legend: Luis Aragonés.
