Events
Match Events
- 0' Welcome to Estadio Civitas Metropolitano that hosts another battle between Club Atletico de Madrid and Bayer 04 Leverkusen.
- 5' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Jose Gimenez suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Javi Galan, as he is very good at scoring at Estadio Civitas Metropolitano with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
