Bayern Munich vs. Atlético Madrid live stream: Time, TV schedule, and how to watch Champions League online
Neither team has anything to gain nor anything to lose in this match, which could make it one of the more fun games of the day.
Atlético have already won the group and Bayern are guaranteed to finish in second place, making this match essentially meaningless. But while one could assume that will automatically make this particular game a bore and something to avoid, making such an assumption about a match between managers like Diego Simeone and Carlo Ancelotti is dangerous. While they’ll certainly rest some of their bigger stars, they’ll also use this match as a chance to give others more big-match playing time than they’d typically receive, and they can comfortably send the team out to play whatever tactical style they please without the pressure of having to get a certain result.
That can lead to a fun match, one where the players can go out and play with a kind of freedom that they rarely get at this level. When players with their talent can play freely, anything can happen, so there is every chance this match will be all kinds of fun to watch.
