Champions League: Atletico, PSV at war in Spain

Atletico v PSV
Venue: Vicente Calderon
Kick off: 8:45pm

Atletico Madrid are full of confidence heading into their Champions League last-16 second leg against PSV at the Vicente Calderon on Tuesday (today).
The first encounter in Eindhoven ended goalless and saw the hosts lose Gaston Pereiro to a second yellow card midway through the second half, setting up a finely poised clash in Madrid.
Since then, Diego Simeone’s side have won four successive matches – the latest of which came in a 3-0 victory over Deportivo La Coruna on Saturday.
Saul’s powerful header opened the scoring and was added to by Antoine Griezmann – converting for the fourth consecutive game – and Angel Correa seven minutes from time.
The midfielder thinks the victory has primed Atletico to book a place in the quarter-finals at PSV’s expense.
“The team has done a great job and achieved great results. Looking ahead to Tuesday, it gives us a boost,” said Niguez Saul.
“We kept going until the end and the [late] goal gave us serenity. It was one of the best matches, very complete, without conceding a goal.
“I think we played very well and after these three points we go into that key match very confident of winning.”
PSV are still seeking a first victory in Spain after 12 failed attempts and head into the match having extended their unbeaten run in the Eredivisie to 21 matches in a 1-1 draw against Heerenveen on Saturday.
