Atletico Madrid is exactly before the second stage of their Champions League round of 16 draw against Real Madrid – and also their supporters. Prior to the match in the Metropolitano on Wednesday evening, many of the fans present were depicted who welcomed their heroes for the Derby collision.
Diego Simeone spoke about the impact that the Athleti supporters could make for the match against Real Madrid, who has to win his side with at least two goals, or via a penalty shoot-out, to continue to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, where they could almost certainly stand against Arsenal. And prior to the kick-off at the Metropolitano, the first team team of Los Colchoneros were welcomed in an explicit way by their fans with a flare display, as recorded by Marcos Duran van Relefo.
There is no doubt that the Atleti players would have been fired before the second stage, but this display would certainly have added extra motivation. They will be desperate to continue to the quarterfinals and eliminate their bitter rivals in the process.
