Eight teams can still hope for the handle pot in the UEFA Champions League. In purely mathematical terms, the chance is currently 25% that a German team will secure the title in the end. While FC Bayern Munich is considered to be one of the hottest favorites for the overall victory by many betting providers, RB Leipzig will enter the race as an outsider in the quarter-finals against Atletico Madrid according to the odds of the best bookmakers.
For the “Red Bulls” this is only the eighth knockout duel in the European Cup. So far, the record reads very well with six wins and only one defeat. Nevertheless, the Bundesliga club lacks experience compared to the “Rojiblancos”, where 14 players from the squad have played at least once in a European final.
It should be all the more accommodating for the Saxons that the second semi-finalist will be determined in just one game, if necessary after extra time or penalty shoot-out. The fact that the match takes place on neutral ground in Lisbon is certainly not a disadvantage for the Nagelsmann-Elf, who, however, have to do without their by far most dangerous attacker Timo Werner in the past.
Not least because of this, it makes sense in our eyes to predict the Spaniards between RB Leipzig and Atletico Madrid. The Madrid team has come with the recommendation that they have knocked Liverpool FC out of the competition in the last 16 defending champions and may still benefit from the fact that the Bundesliga club has not played a competitive game for a few weeks.
RB Leipzig – Statistics & current form
For RB Leipzig, reaching the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League for the first time can already be seen as a great success. Given the feasible group, it could still be assumed that the Saxons would qualify for the Round of 16, but the progress there against Tottenham Hotspurs (1-0, 3-0), especially in this clarity and sovereignty, was quite unexpected.
Anyone who knows RB coach Julian Nagelsmann knows that the young football teacher always strives for the maximum and will not be satisfied with the round of the last eight. Why also? Anyway, anything is possible in a do-or-die game and its young, carefree team doesn’t have to hide from big names in terms of quality either. Nevertheless, a lack of international experience at this level can become a knockout criterion.
RB Leipzig without a competitive game since the end of June
So far, the Bundesliga club has only played 14 games in the premier class, seven of which have been won. In seven knockout matches, the “Red Bulls” reached the next round six times. Only against Olympique Marseille came the end in 2017/18. The retort club has not yet had to contest a potential penalty shoot-out on the European stage.
To make matters worse, from the underdog’s point of view, Nagelsmann and his protected don’t know where they stand. The last competitive game played was on June 27th. After that, the RB professionals had 18 days of vacation and have now been back in training for three weeks. The only test against VfL Wolfsburg (1: 1) was still a lot of sand in the gearbox. Perhaps that’s why the agreed to team bonus of around five million euros is needed to make it to the semifinals to create an even greater incentive …
RB offensive without Timo Werner too harmless?
Between RB Leipzig and Atletico Madrid, we would refrain from giving a tip to the East Germans, especially since Timo Werner the “Red Bull” who has migrated to Chelsea FC will be sorely missed against one of the best defenders in the world. Otherwise, Coach Nagelsmann, who has already announced that he wants to give his impulsive counterpart Diego Simeone on the sideline, can draw on the full.
Probable formation of RB Leipzig:
↳ Gulacsi; Klostermann, Upamecano, Halstenberg; Mukiele, Laimer, Sabitzer, Angelino; Nkunku, Olmo; Fancy

Atletico Madrid – Statistics & current form
At Atletico Madrid, sighs of relief have been the order of the day. After two players tested positive the previous week and at times even cancellation or postponement of the Champions League cracker against RB Leipzig was in the room, the situation for the team from the Spanish capital has long since calmed down. Most recently, all test results were negative, which is why the focus can only be on sports.
In contrast to the Saxons, the “Rojiblancos” had to play in a competitive game for the last time in mid-July. Overall, the team of coach Diego Simeone completed eleven matches in the Spanish La Liga after the restart and remained completely unbeaten. With six clean sheets, the defensive team was once again able to convince. Atletico goalkeeper Oblak also kept the clean slate in four out of eight games in the premier class.
Will Atletico’s defense become a bargaining chip?
Among other things, it was also a compact defensive performance with which the Simeone-Elf bowled the reigning defending champion, Liverpool, in the round of 16 out of the competition. If the “Rojiblancos” can build on this performance, then the uncomfortable style of play in connection with the great mentality and experience in the team speaks in our opinion that the odds on the Madrid between RB Leipzig and Atletico Madrid pay off.
It should also be mentioned positively that the red-whites have always been able to prevail in the last eight knockout duels with German teams. Also, Atletico reached the semifinals in six out of nine quarter-finals in the Champions League. To fix number seven, Simeone can use all actors except Vrsaljko and Correa.
Probable formation of Atletico Madrid:
↳ Oblak; Trippier, Savic, Gimenez, Lodi; Llorente, Partey, Saul, Koke; Felix, Costa
