Atlético vs Porto. Will the Portuguese be able to take points away from the Spanish champion?
On September 15, as part of the 1st round of the Champions League, the teams of Atletico and Porto will compete. The battle will be hosted by the Wanda Metropolitano arena (Madrid).
At the end of last season, Atlético was again left with nothing in Europe, the team overcame the group round, but already in the 1/8 finals it was stopped by the future winner of the Chelsea tournament (0: 1, 0: 2). In general, such an early departure allowed the “mattress” to concentrate all forces on the domestic arena, thanks to which the team became the champion of Spain for the first time in seven years.
At a good pace, Diego Simeone's guys started a new La Liga, but in the last battle the team stumbled, dividing the points with Villarreal 2: 2 at home.
Porto
Porto last year showed a good result in the Champions League, the team reached the quarterfinal round, where they lost to the same Chelsea (0: 2, 1: 0). The team did not perform in the best way in the domestic arena either, the “dragons” finished only in the second stage in the league, leaving Sporting behind. Sergio Conceição's guys started well in the new season as well, after four rounds the "blue-whites" settled down 2 steps, earning 10 points.
In the last battle, Porto left no chances for Aroca 3: 0 at home, goals were scored by Uribe, Taremi and Marcano.
