RB Leipzig

For RB Leipzig, reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League is the highest achievement in this tournament in the history of the club. One of the youngest teams in Germany confidently passed the group stage, where it took first place, ahead of Lyon, Benfica and Zenit.

At the first stage of the playoffs, Tottenham were rivals for the bulls. The match in London ended with a minimal victory for the German team with a score of 1:0. The return game in Leipzig was disgraceful for Spurs, who were defeated (3: 0) and left the Champions League.

.In the Bundesliga championship, the "red-whites" were able to take the third position, losing only to Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. Julian Nagelsmann's players won 18 victories in 34 rounds and ended in a draw in 12 matches. Remarkably, the bronze medalist lost only four matches, like the champion. We would especially like to note the effectiveness of "Red Bulls": 81 goals scored, with the second indicators of the reliability of defense.

Werner (28 goals) and Schick (10 goals) became the best goalscorers in the last season. Timo Werner left Germany and went to Chelsea.

Zabitzer and Hartmann, who has a knee injury, will not be able to take part in today's game.

Atletico

The Madrid club has reached the Champions League final three times, but has never won the trophy. The situation is better with the second-strongest tournament in Europe, where Atl?tico won three times. The last time a Spanish team won the LE was in 2018.

In the current championship "mattress" started from the second place in the group with "Juventus", "Bayer" and "Lokomotiv". The Spanish team began the spring-summer part of the championship with a victory over the current winner of the Champions Cup. The Indians beat the best England team at home (1:0) and the return match turned out to be very productive and successful for Diego Simeone's charges (3:2).

In La Liga the capital team bypassed Sevilla only by the best indicator, which brought a set of bronze medals and a ticket to the Champions League group stage. Guests won 18 victories and 16 times ended the fights in peace. Traditionally, the defense of the team, which conceded 27 goals, was at the top. The capital club played their last official match on July 19, in which they won peace with Real Sociedad (1:1), for which we made a forecast.

Today Correa will not be able to enter the field, he is in quarantine. Vrsalko's participation in the fight is still in question.
