Borussia is far from perfect at the start of the season. Marco Rose’s team lost the German Super Cup to Bayern and the league is still unstable. After six rounds the “bumblebees” are on the fourth line of the Bundesliga, having 12 points in the table. The gap to Bayern is already four points, Wolfsburg and Bayer are just one point away. In the last round Borussia faced problems in Moenchengladbach without a number of key players. In the first half, the local Borussia opened the scoring and at the end of the first 45 minutes Borussia Dortmund was still in the minority. The 0:1 defeat could not be avoided. In the first round of the Champions League, Borussia beat Besiktas with a score 2:1 away without any problems, conceding from an opponent in stoppage time.
After ten long years of waiting, Atletico won the Spanish title last season. The team managed to hold the first place for half of the season, which it retained at the finish of the championship. The start in the Champions League, where the mattress makers got a ticket as the winners of the Primeira, was ambiguous. The Indians hosted Porto and ended their debut game in a draw (0:0). It should be noted that this game was played in an equal fight and hardly has the right to be on the lists of the most spectacular in the tour. After seven rounds of the current championship of La Liga, Diego Simeone’s wards recorded four victories and twice finished the fights in peace. In the last three rounds Madrid drew with Athletic (0:0), beat Getafe (2:1) with some difficulty and in the last game lost to Alaves (0:1), which few could predict. Today Lemar and Savic, who have been disqualified, will not be able to enter the field.
