Leipzig face Atletico Madrid at the Estadio Jose Alvalade on Thursday, Aug. 13. Here’s all the info you need to watch.

Although Leipzig have been significantly weakened on paper by the departure of star striker Timo Werner to Chelsea, it’s unlikely that Werner’s pace would have been of great use against as compact and defensive a side as Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid.

Simeone has already led the club to the final of this competition in 2014 and 2016, and many feel that the truncated nature of the tournament this season, which will see the quarter- and semi-finals settled in a single game rather than over two legs, will be suited to Atletico Madrid more than any other team that remains in the tournament.

Atleti knocked out reigning champions Liverpool against the odds in the last round, of course, which further enhanced their credentials as dark horses to lift the trophy this season.
