Diego Simeone will need to keep his side focused
Atletico deserve all the praise flowing in at the moment. They’ve managed to stifle two of the greatest attacks in the competition at the Vicente Calderon this season in Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
However, Diego Simeone will at the back of his mind, rue the chances Atletico missed to snatch a wider lead on the night. In spite of the performance being far from their defensive best, Bayern could not score past them but at the Allianz Arena the dynamics will change.Bayern Munich are a different animal at home and no one will doubt their abilities to put two past any side in the world. Diego Simeone will need to keep his team focused on the job at hand which is far from an easy one.
They need to keep their lines shut tight in the return leg and hope to snatch an away goal as early as possible to put Pep Guardiola’s charges under pressure.
Regardless of what goes on in either manager’s mind at the moment, what is certain is fans have a mouth-watering return leg to look out for.
