RB Leipzig faces Atletico Madrid in the Champions League quarterfinals. The match will be played on Thursday, July 13th at Estádio da Luz (Lisbon)
Leipzig deservedly beat last year's Champions League finalist, but the rival of the Bulls in crisis was at that moment. Tottenham conceded a lot in February and March and managed to lose even to the weakest teams in England. Roughly speaking, Nagelsmann's team took advantage of the bad shape of the Spurs, thanks to which it made it into the 1/4 finals of the Champions League for the first time in its history. Now Leipzig will have to compete with a much more difficult opponent that is capable of withstanding the onslaught of attacks of the titans of world football. Without Werner, it will be very difficult for the Bulls even to score Atlético.

A deserved 1:0 home victory over Liverpool gave a good chance for the Mattress Makers to advance to the next stage. In the end, Atletico managed to endure until the overtime at Anfield, and then the Spaniards scored as many as three goals in 30 minutes. Thus, they became the second team (after London's Chelsea), which managed to gain a victory at Anfield over the past two years. After such a success, Atletico's chances of winning the cup seriously increased. Moreover, the Mattress Makers will fight with Leipzig, which has no experience of playing in such important stages of the Champions League.
Nagelsmann’s team gained only four victories in May and June, and the Bulls kept a clean sheet in only two of the last nine games. On the other hand, Atletico performed well after the lockdown, thanks to which it took third place in the LaLiga standings. Traditionally, the Mattress Makers acted reliably in defense - only six goals conceded in 11 matches. At the same time, Simeone's men managed to score in all matches after the renewal of the season. In particular, they managed to score twice at the Camp Nou. In general, Atletico has not left the field without goals in 18 official matches, which is an impressive streak for a team that is primarily famous for its defensive game. It turns out that the Madrid team has no problems in attack, while still acting very reliably in defense. It is no wonder that Atlético is the favorite against Leipzig. The Mattress Makers have no losses in their squad, constantly appear in the decisive stages of European cups, and sometimes even reach the final. At the same time, Atletico and Bayern Munich are the only clubs in the top five European leagues that have not suffered a single defeat in official matches after the quarantine. I doubt that Leipzig will beat such a hardened opponent.
Prediction for the match: Atletico Madrid to win with 0.0 handicap
