Atlético de Madrid and Red Bull Leipzig star in the second meeting of the Champions League quarter-finals, which is played in a final phase format, with a single match each tie, at the stadium José Alvalade of Lisbon (owned by Sporting de Portugal).
The rojiblanco team will not be able to count on Ángel Correa nor with Sime Vrsaljko (although this player was injured), because the club notified that both members of its squad have tested positive for coronavirus, although they are asymptomatic.
According to the protocol of the UEFA, the club had to notify the institution and isolate both players, in order not to infect the other members of the mattress group. The other players are not infected, so they can be at the disposal of the Cholo Simeone, with the doubt until the last minute of the Ghanaian Thomas Partey, who was injured in the last match of LaLiga against Real Sociedad.
He Athletic has finished in third position of the Spanish league and it comes from landing, against all odds, to Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool (brand new champion of the Premier League), in the round of 16.
He Red Bull Leipzig comes to this match as one of the great revelations of European football. The German team also finished third in their championship, so, like the rojiblancos, they are guaranteed their presence in the next edition of the Champions League. However, for this final phase, he will not be able to count on his star forward Timo Werner, which has been transferred to Chelsea English and by contract is no longer part of the staff trained by Nagelsmann.
The winner of this match will be measured at Paris saint germain, who came back in the final minutes to Atalanta (1-2) in the first match of quarter finals.
