Atlético Madrid vs. Bayern Munich, UEFA Champions League draw: Get your chalkboards ready, nerds

And even if they don’t, the clash of styles between these teams and their regular tactics should be great to watch. There’s usually very little to love about a team packing 11 men behind the box, but Atléti do it so well against the world’s top attacking teams that you can’t help but admire them. And not only will Bayern have to break it down, they’ll have to be ready for the Rojiblancos’ excellent counter-attack as well.

It’s the man who invented a role on Football Manager -- the space investigator -- vs. Atléti’s key man in denying the spaces that Müller loves to investigate so much. Their positions won’t line up exactly, but they’ll be seeing tons of each other during this tie.

Whatever outside the box tactics Simeone wants to try, Koke is the man who makes them work. He’s just as much of a defensive midfielder as a playmaker, and he can play any position in the center or on either wing. He’s often given a role where he changes positions with or without the ball. Koke is crucial to everything Atléti does in all phases of play.

Pep’s side looks like the best in the world right now, and there’s no reason not to predict that they’ll win every time they step onto the pitch. But they also haven’t been their best in their two Champions League ties, and Atléti are definitely the toughest opponent they’ve faced yet. Expect Bayern to get through, but just barely.
