Atletico Madrid v Juventus Team News

Cristiano Ronaldo, playing now for the 2015 and 2017 UCL finalists, has fond memories of disappointing Atletico Madrid when he hit two winning penalties in 2014 and 2016 against Diego Simeone's side to help his team to the second consecutive and third champions title in 4 years back then.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner will be keen to score for the team he beat 4-1 with Real Madrid in the 2017 final, where he scored a double, and for whom he has already netted 20 all season so far.

Juventus qualified as Group H winners and all but guaranteed top position in the first three rounds by producing a 7-0 score for the Old Lady across all three. They are unbeaten in Serie A and have a tight grip on another league title sitting 13 clear at the top.

Atletico Madrid entered the knockout phase behind Dortmund in Group A and had just one defeat out of six group fixtures. However, the Madrid-based side have lost two of their last three games to La Liga rivals Real Madrid and Betis - two of only the three losses they have suffered this season domestically.

This game doesn't herald lots of goals because Atletico have kept a clean sheet in their last 3 matches and there have been under 2.5 goals scored in Atletico's last 3 games in the UEFA Champions League.

Teams' Potential Starting Line-ups:

Atletico Madrid (4-4-2): Oblak; Luis, Godin, Gimenez, Arias; Niguez, Partey, Rodrigo; Correa, Morata, Griezmann.
