The UEFA Champions League is back today with another quarterfinals match between Red Bull Leipzig and Atletico Madrid. The match will be played in the bubble in Portugal at the Estadio Jose Alvalade, the home arena of Sporting CP. You should watch this match because it might be the last Champions League quarterfinals match that you will ever see in Lisbon.
Both teams will be missing key players. Red Bull Leipzig striker Timo Werner signed with Chelsea a few weeks ago. Instead of finishing off this season with Leipzig, Werner decided to prepare for next season with his new team. Atletico Madrid will be missing defender Sime Vrsaljko and striker Angel Correa due to Covid-19. Nevertheless, Atletico will look to squeeze out one of their patented 1-0 victories against a Red Bull team that looks to score early and often. The clash of styles will make this match very interesting.

Red Bull Leipzig ended up winning 2-1 over Atletico Madrid
The score at intermission is 0-0
madrid but only because as you said they are defense first.
There are very few times where an Atletico match will have more than 2 goals. Their coach is all about defense for real. They have real good attackers too, but after they score that one goal, he has the team lock it down
Whoops! Red Bull pulled the upset with a 2-1 win.
oh well – my streak of good is over for sure!
