Juventus face Atletico Madrid at Allianz Stadium on Tuesday, March 12. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
One of the most shocking results from the first leg was Atletico Madrid beating Juventus 2-0. The second leg shifts from Spain to Italy as Juventus host Atletico at the Allianz Stadium. Juventus need to win by at least three goals if they are going to advance. Atletico can ensure the game ends after 90 minutes if they score an away goal. An away goal would force Juventus to score four goals to advance.
Juventus are unbeaten in Serie A, holding an 18 point lead over Napoli. However, after buying Cristiano Ronaldo in the summer, winning the Scudetto is no longer enough for Juventus. Massimiliano Allegri could be out of a job if his team are eliminated in the round of 16. Allegri rested Ronaldo, Giorgio Chiellini, and Mario Mandzukic, while Leonardo Bonucci and Paulo Dybala started on the bench. Chiellini and Bonucci will have to be better at the back and prevent an away goal. Ronaldo has 21 goals in all competitions this season but will need to have his best game of the season if Juventus are going to come back.
Atletico are second in La Liga after winning four straight games. Between La Liga and the Champions League, Diego Simeone’s team have allowed only 23 goals in 34 games. Simeone’s team will continue to use their conservative approach to advance to the quarterfinal. Diego Godin scored in the first leg but the Atletico captain might miss the second leg with an injury. Godin has missed two of the past three games. Diego Costa could also miss the second leg after missing the previous two games with a foot injury. Costa already missed nine games this season following foot surgery. If Costa cannot play, Simeone will have to decide between starting Alvaro Morata and Nikola Kalinic next to Antoine Griezmann.
