Both teams have recorded three wins each and four games ended in a draw. What’s interesting is that the Werkself remained unbeaten in their last three games and won two of them, which should certainly give them additional self-confidence.
Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso relies on superstar Florian Wirtz against Atlético, while Nathan Tella can play in the attack. Patrik Schick and Victor Boniface only sit on the bench.
The Argentinian Exequiel Palacios is preferred over national player Robert Andrich. Matej Kovar is allowed to play in goal, Lukas Hradecky is left behind.

A player who is particularly in focus at Bayer Leverkusen is Álex Grimaldo. Since the start of the 2021/22 season, no full-back has been directly involved in more goals in the Champions League than the Spaniard.
With four goals and eight assists, he played a significant role in his team’s success, even though he was not used in the premier class in the 2023/24 season. His offensive strength could also be crucial against Atlético Madrid.

Atlético Madrid’s home strength against German teams
Atlético Madrid can look back on an impressive home series against German teams in the Champions League. In the last ten home games against German teams, the Rojiblancos remained unbeaten, winning seven and drawing three.
Bayer Leverkusen wants to become the first German team to win at Atlético since Borussia Dortmund in October 1996. Coach Diego Simeone has played against Leverkusen eight times in the Champions League so far, with a balanced record of three wins, three defeats and two draws.
Offensive key players: Griezmann and Wirtz in focus
Antoine Griezmann has been a key player for Atlético Madrid this Champions League season with four goals and two assists in six games. Should he score another goal or assist today, he would become the first player to be involved in 50 goals for Atlético in this competition.
On the other hand, Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen has provided the most shot assists from open play this season. What is particularly noteworthy is that he was under strong pressure from an opponent on 14 of these passes. Both players could be crucial to the outcome of the game.
