In Wednesday’s Champions League quarter-final clash, two dark horses of the competition, Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund, vie for an advantageous start at the Wanda Metropolitano.
Under the guidance of Diego Simeone, Atletico Madrid thrillingly ousted last year’s finalists, Inter Milan, in a penalty shootout during the round of 16, while Dortmund secured their spot by defeating PSV Eindhoven 3-1.
Atletico, often coming close but not clinching the title, faced a tough challenge from Inter Milan’s formidable defense in the first leg of their last-16 encounter at San Siro, with Marko Arnautovic’s goal giving the Serie A leaders a narrow advantage as the battle shifted to Madrid.
