RB Leipzig VS Atletico Madrid : Preview

 UEFA Champions League Quarter Final LIVE: RB Leipzig vs Atletico ...

The 2nd Quarter Final of the UEFA Champions League to be held in Lisbon is between Germany’s RB Leipzig and Spain’s Atletico de Madrid. Both these teams defeated the finalists of last year’s Champions League Finals in the Round of 16. RB Leipzig defeated an off-form Tottenham side while Atletico Madrid defeated the holders Liverpool. It would be a battle of opposite styles on the pitch, bringing the pragmatic and defensive minded Atletico Madrid against the ultra attacking RB Leipzig team.  


Players to miss out 


RB Leipzig

Poulsen hoping Werner stays at Leipzig amid Liverpool talks ...

Centre Forward Yussuf Poulsen will not be able to face Atletico due to an ankle injury. RB Leipzig will miss the services of their talisman Timo Werner who has already signed for Chelsea. 


Atletico Madrid

Atletico reveal Correa, Vrsaljko tested positive but press on with ...

Atletico Madrid will be without the services of right back Vrsaljko and winger Angel Correa due to a knee injury and Quarantine respectively. Though they aren’t guaranteed starters but Correa has been a decent option off the bench throughout the season.


Players to watch out for


RB Leipzig


Dayot Upamecano

Scooper - Malawi Football News: Arsenal transfer blow with Dayot ...

Upamecano has been one of the best centre backs in the Bundesliga and has attracted interest from many top clubs across Europe including giants such as FC Barcelona. He is a good ball playing centre back and has performed exceptionally well. He will be key to Leipzig not conceding goals. 


Marcel Sabitzer

Marcel Sabitzer - Player profile 19/20 | Transfermarkt 

 

The Austrian midfielder has scored 9 goals and provided 7 assists in the Bundesliga this season and is one of the main outlets for RB Leipzig attacks. He will have to play a pivotal role if Leipzig want to win against a stubborn Atletico side.


Atletico Madrid


Saul Niguez

Saul Niguez claims to have worked Klopp out; offers Liverpool ...

Saul is a brilliant midfielder in Atletico’s ranks. He is the second top scorer for Atletico this season. In a side which plays a pragmatic style of football, he provides the creative spark. He was great against Liverpool in the previous round and he can be expected to do well in the quarter finals as well.


Jan Oblak 

Atlético Madrid | Oblak: "It's nice to hear that I'm the best ...

 

Jan Oblak is one of the best shot-stoppers on the planet, if not the best. He has been great all season and against a side which loves to attack, he would be called into action often. His saves will be necessary if Atletico are to qualify for the semi finals. He has conceded just 27 goals in the 38 La Liga matches he has played.


Preview


More than RB Leipzig V/S Atletico Madrid, it would be Julian Nagelsmann V/S Diego Simeone. The team which executes their match tactics better would advance. Atletico Madrid have decent European experience and pedigree while Leipzig are relative newcomers to this stage. Diego Simeone’s side should overcome the Germans but Leipzig can’t be taken for granted even if they are without their star Timo Werner.

VAR: Boon or Bane?

  Ever since its introduction, VAR has sparked controversies all around the globe. While it was believed before its introduction that it would reduce the human errors and provide the referees a second chance to rectify their mistakes, it now has left us pondering whether technology intervention was required in the first place.      The good point is that no foul committed can possibly go unnoticed but the disadvantages are far more with the most disturbing being it stops the flow of the game every now and then and this doesn’t augur well for the beautiful game as the frequent stoppages are disturbing both for the players and the audiences. By this time, we already know there have been a record number of penalties awarded in this season’s Premier League and credit goes to VAR for awarding them without much hesitation. For the first time ever we saw a team score after the final whistle. Yes, you heard that right. Manchester United’ s game against Brighton was completed...

EL CLASICO : PREVIEW

As Camp Nou gets ready to host the first Clasico of the season, both clubs in their own rebuilding phase will look to get one over their arch rivals. Both clubs have had rather inconsistent starts to the season, by their lofty standards. With the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, this fixture has somewhat lost its glory but the political reasons behind the rivalry will continue to fuel this fixture.  FC Barcelona have come from a nightmare season,not winning any trophy and conceding 8 against Bayern Munich. With renewed hope, under Dutch boss Ronald Koeman, they have started pretty poorly in La Liga, winning two of their four matches. Although it is very early in the season, Barcelona are languishing at tenth in the table. With all the behind the scenes drama, they have coped pretty well. Lionel Messi will be their star man as usual. Coutinho has done well on his return to the club. Griezmann hasn’t yet found his feet in Catalonia. All eyes would be on Gerrard Pique, who got a red ca...

UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: 2020-21

It's already been two months since that famous night in Lisbon where Bayern conquered their 2nd treble equalling the record of Barcelona in the process of highest number of trebles.         Now, the group stages has some mouth watering fixtures, the most notable being PSG v/s Man U. After that embarrassing night in Paris where the French outfit lost to a young Man U team even after having a healthy lead in the first leg, PSG have come a long way and were only second to Bayern Munich last time around. PSG have a strong team and their only main concern would be their defence after their long serving captain played his last match in the UCL final. Their forward and midfield line do not have much change and will look forward to carry on the form that they displayed last time around. On the other hand United have plenty of problems from their defence to attack. Their uninspiring captain Maguire has led them down more than once with the attackers struggling ...
