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.

Manchester United VS Chelsea : Preview

    Manchester United welcome Chelsea to the Theatre of Dreams. This fixture brings back memories of Frank Lampard’s first match as Chelsea manager when Ole’s reds smashed the blues 4-0. A lot has happened since for both teams but the circumstances leading up to the game are somewhat similar. Manchester United are inconsistent as they had been. Similarly, Chelsea are a team which is trying to find their feet and sort themselves out.  Manchester United, in their midweek Champions League clash against Paris Saint Germain, won via a late Marcus Rashford goal(yes, again!). Manchester United have been wildly inconsistent in the Premier League so far, and have not won two games in a row. They destroyed Newcastle 4-1 at St. James’s Park in their last match but in their previous fixture, Tottenham decimated them 6-1 at home. Their defence, which has been suspect even after expensive reinforcements, somehow conceded only one goal at the hands of Mbappe, Neymar and Di Maria, which ...

Mohun Bagan: The Champions of I-League

Mohun Bagan Athletic Club, one of the oldest clubs in Asia in the space of a calendar year, transformed subpar performances and doubt into victory and jubilation. A script, so perfectly written, that they won the I-League title in the last match before the lockdown was imposed. I remember reading a newspaper article just before the first Calcutta Football League derby, about how rivals East Bengal were the much better side and the fact that Mohun Bagan could only pin their hopes on Spaniard Joseba Beitia if they had to get anything out of the game. In front of a full-house at the Salt Lake Stadium, the Mariners turned in a performance which gave confidence to the fans. They drew the match but created chances at will. This performance made the fans believe.  The managerial genius, that was Kibu Vicuna worked wonders with players like Joseba Beita, Fran Gonzalez, Fran Morante, Papa Diawara, Komron Tursonov and the Indian players.They created magic on the pitch. They stuck to possessi...

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...
