#3 Atletico Madrid set up the perfect platform to take on Sevilla
Trending
Having seen their La Liga rivals crash out at the hands of Leicester City last night, Diego Simeone made doubly sure to avoid the same fate by playing a waiting game – quite suited to Atletico’s line-up on the night – and attempting attacks without losing shape at the back.
This was enough to see them through on the merit of their first leg performance, giving a Spanish majority to teams remaining in the competition.
Sevilla – who currently sit five points and one position above Atletico in the table – are the only team from Spain to have exited this year’s Champions League, and their downer will come as a boost to the Madrid side ahead of their league clash on Sunday.
