Atletico Madrid - Borussia Dortmund: Form Analysis
After a heavy defeat in La Liga against FC Barcelona (0-3), Atlético Madrid managed to bounce back in their last matchday. They secured a win on Villarreal CF's turf (1-2), which helped to consolidate their 4th place in the Spanish league. The Colchoneros will be eager to quickly extend their 2-point lead over Athletic Bilbao (5th). On the European stage, they managed to finish at the top of Group E, ahead of Lazio Rome and Feyenoord, among others. Then, Diego Simeone's team managed to overturn Inter Milan. Despite losing the first leg (1-0), they did what was necessary in the return match to win on penalties (2-1). Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, has just taken a big hit. After a series of 4 consecutive wins in the Bundesliga, the German club fell to VfB Stuttgart (0-1). It is now in the 5th position of its national league, tied on points with RB Leipzig (4th). In the Champions League, BVB made a strong impression by finishing at the top of the 'group of death', ahead of PSG, AC Milan, and Newcastle United. Edin Terzic's men were then able to eliminate PSV Eindhoven in the Round of 16, thanks to their victory in the return match (2-0). However, the situation will be different against Atlético Madrid...

Atletico Madrid & Borussia Dortmund Squad Analysis
Atlético Madrid has just suffered a major blow. Memphis Depay has been injured and is expected to be absent for both matches against Borussia Dortmund. He thus joins Vitolo and Thomas Lemar in the infirmary. Mario Hermoso is still uncertain. There is one player who will be the center of attention in the Colchoneros' ranks: Antoine Griezmann. The French striker is having a great season, with nearly 19 goals and 7 assists in all competitions combined. Alvaro Morata isn't making much noise, even though he has scored 20 goals. On the side of Borussia Dortmund, Ramy Bensebaïni, Samuel Bamba, and Donyell Malen are out for this first leg. Jadon Sancho, who scored in the previous round, will try to shine during this trip to the Spanish capital.
