Atlético de Madrid hosts Club Brugge in the crucial Champions League playoff return leg at the Metropolitano Stadium. The Spanish side, led by Diego Simeone, is seeking to secure their place in the round of 16 after the first leg ended in a 3-3 draw in Belgium.
Atlético had taken a commanding 2-0 lead at halftime in that match, thanks to goals from Julián Álvarez and Lookman. For this decisive encounter, Simeone continues to be without the services of key midfielder Pablo Barrios. Should Atlético advance, they could potentially face either Liverpool or Tottenham in the next round.
