Latest football commentary Atletico Madrid vs RB Leipzig

Despite rumours that Diego Simeone could leave Atletico Madrid, the board have shown ambition with several big signings over the summer, and that has been reflected in the team's impressive form. Atletico are currently in the top four with 11 points from their first five games, unbeaten and facing tough opponents such as Athletic Bilbao, Villarreal and Girona.

Atletico maintained a 100% home record in last season's Champions League with five wins from five. They also have an impressive record against Bundesliga sides, remaining unbeaten against German clubs this century, winning eight and drawing four.

Atletico will be hoping the new format of the tournament will bring better luck, as they have not made it past the quarter-finals since a magical run of results from 2014 to 2017. RB Leipzig, their next opponents, beat Atletico 2-1 in the 2020 Champions League quarter-finals.

Leipzig started the season unbeaten and recently came from behind to beat Bayer Leverkusen, but they struggled after the international break, drawing 0-0 with Union Berlin and dropping to third. They face big teams like Juventus, Inter Milan and Liverpool this term.

Atletico have home advantage and are in good form after their win over Valencia. They will face Leipzig, with both teams strong in attack. However, home advantage and Simeone's influence could give Atletico the edge.
