    We should win comfortably, but playing teams from lower leagues can sometimes be a banana skin.

    You reckon? I think it'll be a tough game against a good side with a very good manager.

    I know their La Liga form has been patchy this season (4 wins, 4 draws, 1 loss). However, they have some very capable and talented players who can cause us problems. Antoine Griezmann, Julian Alvarez, Pablo Barrios, Marcos Llorente, Alex Baena...it won't be a straightforward victory. Their performance against Liverpool at Anfield showed that.

    i don’t think they are as good as Real, and honestly last year showed that we are miles ahead of Real.
    Sure it could be a tough game, but no moreso than say West Ham at home.

    Woah. Ok, I think you're massively underestimating their quality! <laugh>

    I think we should win and I'd say we've got the better team, but Atletico will be no cakewalk. It's going to be a tough match against a manager who sets his team up in a very compact, well-drilled manner away from home - especially against top teams like us. And they have serious quality in attack. Julian Alvarez is like gold dust for them, he will be the main threat to fear.

    If we win, we'll need to fight tooth and nail for it.

    Will be tough for sure.
    Julian Alvarez has been on brilliant for them in recent months and Simeone's teams are always good defensively.
