BACK REAL MADRID IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE WITH BET365

Real Madrid beat Atlético Madrid in the final of the Champions League twice in the last three years and they knock-out the rivals in the quarter-finals two years ago thanks to a goal scored by Chicharito. They want to continue with this run in the European competition and we are confident that Los Blancos could beat again Atlético and have some advantage to play the second leg the next week. We don’t expect a lot of goals though.

Both teams met in April in La Liga at Santiago Bernabéu and Simeone’s side was able to get a point thanks to a late goal scored by Antoine Griezmann. Pepe, with a header, opened the scoreboard.
