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 ...

UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL : PREVIEW

  Bayern Munich and PSG meet in Europe's most prestigious competition final in Lisbon on Sunday. Both teams having won all domestic crowns on offer, are gunning to flaunt an illustrious treble for the season. With both squads bragging such destructive attacking talent, the game might be decided by the team who defends better. A first Champions League final for PSG, who seem to finally reap the dividends of spending millions, against an accomplished Bayern side, looking for their 6th Champions League, the stage is set for a jaw dropping game. PLAYERS TO MISS OUT PSG Laywin Kurzawa is still out due to a thigh injury. First choice keeper Keylor Navas is also doubtful after straining his hamstring in the quarter final against Atalanta. Idrissa Gueye is out with a thigh injury as well, Marco Verrati looks most likely to replace him. BAYERN MUNICH Bayern have a full strength squad barring a thigh injury to veteran Jerome Boateng who may miss the summit clash.    ...

Barcelona V/S Napoli : Preview

With the dishonour of going trophyless for the first time since 2007-08 looming large, winning the UCL after 5 years will easily rub off the pain of not winning the La liga and their below par performances during the later stages of the competition, over the years. Having said that, the task on hand is no piece of cake as they face a stubborn Napoli side, inspired by Gennaro Gattuso who can outrival any side on their day. Their strike force is deadly to say the least. Insigne, Mertens, Lozano, Milik, Callejon, Politano can wreck havoc across defences, more so when Barca has a very poor record defensively of late. Napoli  had the most possession(59%) and the most passes in the Serie A, were the Coppa Italia champions and they were the unbeaten team in their group despite being on the same pool with defending champions, Liverpool.  Players missing out- FC Barcelona Missing out influential midfielder, Sergio Busquets and Arturo Vidal through suspension will be a cause of headach...
