[Champions League] Atlético excels at home but has a tendency to concede against German teams.
Last season, Atlético Madrid sailed through the group stage of the Champions League with ease and then surprisingly knocked out Inter Milan in the Round of 16. However, despite being favorites in the quarter-final clash against Borussia Dortmund, they followed a 2-1 home win with a disappointing 4-2 defeat away, leading to their elimination.
Diego Simeone's team has had a strong start to the La Liga season, accumulating 11 points from five matches. Atlético drew with Villarreal (2-2) and Espanyol (0-0), while securing convincing victories over Girona (3-0), Valencia (3-0), and Athletic Bilbao (1-0).RB Leipzig finished second in their group last season, trailing behind Manchester City. In the Round of 16, they gave a strong performance against Real Madrid but failed to capitalize on numerous chances, resulting in their exit.
This season, Marco Rose’s team narrowly defeated Bochum (1-0) in their opening match, followed by an impressive 3-2 victory over Bayer Leverkusen—something no team managed last season. However, Leipzig unexpectedly dropped points at home with a 0-0 draw against Union Berlin over the weekend.
