Atletico Madrid face Rostov at the Vicente Calderon on Tuesday, Nov. 1. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
Atletico Madrid lead Bayern Munich by three points in Group D. Given their inferior goal difference, they can’t afford to drop any points as the German side try to recapture the lead. The big game in this group comes in the last round of fixtures, when Atleti and Bayern square off for the second time. If Diego Simeone’s side can find a way to win their two games before then, they’ll know a draw will ensure their passage to the round of 16 as group winners. And if any team of Europe is suited to playing for a draw, it’s Atletico Madrid.

Rostov no longer have any real chance of making it to the round of 16, but they’ll still be hoping to finish third and move into the Europa League. They performed well in the first game against Atletico, a narrow 1-0 loss, but things will likely be more difficult away from home. Atleti forward Nico Gaitan could be ready to start, bolstering an already dangerous attack.
