Atlético de Madrid hosts Feyenoord this Wednesday at the Metropolitan Stadium. The colchoneros come to the match after having tied against Lazio on the first day, conceding a goal in the last minute, the work of the Roman goalkeeper. Now, the rojiblancos seek to turn the page on that match and achieve their first victory in this year’s Champions League. In front of them they have Feyenoord, a team that beat Celtic in their debut and is currently the leader of the group. The Dutch team also has the most prolific attack in its local league: 26 goals scored after seven games.

Referee François Letexier
10’46” – The Rotterdam team now allows the red and white team to take control of the match from possession of the ball. His distribution of passes develops away from the final third.
09’42” – FACT. Feyenoord have won their last two Champions League games, achieving as many victories as they had in their previous 20 games (D6 L12). The last time they won more consecutive matches in the European Cup was in the 1971/72 campaign (5).
08’53” – With the goal against, Atlético de Madrid has to take a step forward and look for a new comeback as they did a few days ago against Cádiz. He is not good at ball circulation.
07’57” – Feyenoord confirms the sensations exhibited at the start by taking the lead on the scoreboard. A defensive mismatch, Witsel jumping at the wrong time and Hermoso remaining far from the mark, enabled Ueda to take advantage of the first dangerous opportunity.
07’00” – Goal against Mario Hermoso Canseco
05’31” – Saúl Ñíguez, pay attention to the cut. The man from Elche appears just in time to prevent Ueda from taking advantage of a personal move by Igor Paixao.

03’07” – Feyenoord started with great intensity, pressing very high to force the loss in Atlético de Madrid’s own field. The red and white team is not comfortable, and despite the stress they do not give up playing short.
02’40” – Without Santi Giménez in the eleven due to suspension, Ueda is the spearhead for Arne Slot, with Stengs on the right wing and with Igor Paixao starting from the left flank. Zerrouki is the pivot of a midfielder with Wieffer and Timber as interiors.
01’20” – There are no surprises in the eleven presented by Diego Pablo Simeone, with Samuel Lino recovering the left lane, Azpilicueta remaining in the right profile of the defense of three to cover the losses at the back and De Paul returning to the right interior position. Morata is the spearhead after not playing at the weekend due to suspension in LaLiga.
