FC Porto – Atl. Madrid : Preview & Prediction
Nothing has been decided yet for second place in Pool B of the Champions League. Behind Liverpool, already assured of finishing first, AC Milan, FC Porto and Atlético de Madrid can still hope to reach the knockout stages of the C1. The latter two clash in fact on the last day. And Atlético de Madrid is back to the wall! After its last defeat against AC Milan (1-0), the Madrid club is in last place in this group. He has the same number of points as AC Milan (3rd), but an unfavorable goal difference. And he is a length of FC Porto (2nd). We are very far from being optimistic for the Colchoneros. They have just lost their last three days of the Champions League. And it’s not better in La Liga!
Diego Simeone’s men have just lost to Mallorca in the league (2-1). And they went down to fourth place in the Spanish championship, ten lengths behind the leader: Real Madrid. This is clearly not the best way to prepare for this decisive match in the Champions League. Especially since FC Porto remains in full confidence, after eight consecutive successes in Liga NOS. Having already been able to hold Atlético de Madrid in check in the first leg in Spain (0-0), the current leader of the Portuguese league will have plenty to do in this home game this time around. A parity score could also allow him to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League. To do this, AC Milan must not win in the other meeting of the group, against Liverpool.
