[wptb id=391282]
A Battle of European Ambitions
Key Stats
– Feyenoord have scored a whopping 26 goals in their last six games, remaining unbeaten in eight.
– Antoine Griezmann has been directly involved in 26 goals in 32 Champions League home matches for Atletico Madrid.
After a heart-breaking equaliser at the eleventh hour on the Champions League’s opening day, Atletico Madrid prepares for a crucial encounter against Feyenoord, with both teams having had intriguing starts to their European campaigns.
Recent Outings and Performance Analysis
Forever etched in history for that dramatic Champions League moment, Atletico Madrid, guided by Diego Simeone, hoped to begin their European journey this season with a victory. However, dreams shattered in the 94th minute at Stadio Olimpico against Lazio. Since that match, Atletico have shown resilience, winning all three of their domestic matches, bouncing back from their Champions League disappointment.
Their opponents, Feyenoord, are on a winning streak of their own, extending their victories to six games after conquering Celtic. Their early season form has been noteworthy. With 26 goals in their last six outings and having remained unbeaten in eight, they’re looking robust offensively. Their 3-1 win over Go Ahead Eagles in their domestic league was yet another testament to their impressive form.

However, Atletico’s journey in the Champions League has been rocky. With just two wins in their last 11 group stage matches, there’s pressure on Simeone, especially after their surprising group-stage exit last year. Simeone will be determined to not let history repeat itself, particularly given the intense competition in the group stages.
Team News
In terms of team composition, Atletico will see Alvaro Morata’s return to the starting lineup, replacing Angel Correa, despite the latter’s recent heroics. Key players such as Pablo Barrios and Thomas Lemar, among others, will not be featuring. However, there’s a glimmer of hope as Antoine Griezmann, having been involved in 26 goals in 32 home matches for Atletico in the Champions League, will be the main man to watch.
For Feyenoord, the absence of their star striker Santiago Gimenez, who is serving a suspension, might be a setback. Ayase Ueda might take the centre stage in Gimenez’s absence.
