Special Tuesday with the return of the tournament that all fans are waiting for: the Champions League. Shortly before 9:00 p.m., the famous anthem of the European competition will be played in Bucharest and Rome to kick off two exciting qualifiers between Atlético and Chelsea and Lazio and Bayern.
You can follow both matches live on as.com from one hour before the referee whistles the start of the match with the eleven, the preview, the latest news, etc.
Atlético de Madrid-Chelsea (9:00 p.m.- Movistar Champions League)
The rojiblancos change the Wanda Metropolitano for Bucharest, where great memories make them feel at home. There, where they beat Athletic in an epic Europa League final, they will have to face Chelsea of newcomer Thomas Tuchel, who is trying to change his face after the departure of Frank Lampard. Simeone's men enter the tie with a somewhat changed mood after a couple of punctures in the league, but ready to turn everything around. The threat at Chelsea is Timo Werner. The German is far from his best form but his speed and voracity threaten the powerful red-and-white defense that will not be able to count on Josema Giménez. Another Uruguayan, Luis Suárez, will be in charge of beating the defensive framework of the German coach of the 'blues'.
Lazio-Bayern (9:00 p.m. – Movistar Champions League 1)
The Olympic of Rome will not be the expected boiler to receive the European champion. Without their fans, Lazio will try to beat the coming German ogre, on the other hand, at the worst moment of the season. After becoming world champions, Bayern punctured two weeks in a row on their return to the Bundesliga with a 3-3 loss to Arminia Bielefield and a 2-1 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt. The Romans, on the other hand, come in a streak. Since the derby win against Roma in mid-January, only Inter and Atalanta (in the Cup) have beaten them. This will be the duel between the two most prolific scorers of last season: Ciro Immobile and Robert Lewandowski. The Italian scratched the Pole the Golden Boot by few goals in his great season. Will it be time for revenge?
