Simeone's Atletico strengthened with the addition of Koke and Romero

Coach Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid is on a steep undefeated streak on the domestic stage, including a recent 2-0 win over Levante in La Liga. In the Champions League, they remain in the mid-table with 1 win, 1 draw, and 1 loss, but at their home stadium Riyadh Air Metropolitano, they have shown a particularly strong side, recording 3 consecutive undefeated games against Bayern over the past 10 years. The return of midfield commander Koke and defensive core Christian Romero gives strength, and up front Julián Alvarez takes aim at Bayern's high defensive line with his signature vigorous pressure and penetration.

Bayern relies on Neuer and Olise to join forces amid injuries to the second line of attack

Bayern Munich, who is undefeated in 19 official matches, needs to break the recent slump with two consecutive draws in the Champions League and a 2-2 draw against Dortmund on the weekend. However, coach Vincent Company, who was recently absent due to hospitalization, was unable to sit on the bench, and the offensive line was bleeding heavily with Jamal Musiala, Luis Dias, Serge Gnabry, and Ismael Saibari missing due to injuries. Fortunately, captain Manuel Neuer, who rested due to foot pain, and Michael Olise, who suffered a knee bruise against Dortmund, completed their final training and boarded the plane to Madrid, and the decisive ability of Harry Kane, who has scored in 10 consecutive games in the competition, has become more important than ever.
