After an impressive run in the group stages, last year’s Champions League runner-up Atlético Madrid begin another potential march towards the final with a trip to Germany to face Bayer Leverkusen. Atléti has been strong again this season, especially in Europe where they roared through Group A with just a single loss on their record.

Bayer disappointed some by finishing second in a weak Group C, and struggling to score goals at the rate we’d seen from them in past seasons in Europe. The bigger concern, though, for Leverkusen will be their shaky defense, that has conceded seven goals in their last two league games, including crucial ones late in stoppage time. If Atléti’s attack is clicking, especially in the midfield, they should be more than capable of getting past the Germans.
Omer Toprak is suspended for Bayer Leverkusen, while Robbie Kruse is out with an ankle injury. Lars Bender and Tin Jedvaj are both doubtful. Atlético Madrid's only injury issues is midfielder Koke, who continues his recovery from a hamstring injury.
