Prediction: 3-0
Club Brugge
After recording a hard-fought 2-1 win over Monaco in their opener, Atletico Madrid will be looking to cement top position in Group A when they host Club Brugge at their Estadio Wanda Metropolitano. Los Rojiblancos are considered one of main favourites to win the 2018/2019 Champions League trophy and we predict that they are going to prove their worth on the field in Wednesday’s football match against Club Brugge. The La Liga side are a real force to be reckoned with at home and seeing that coach Diego Simeone can count on key players for the second group game, we are tempted to put our money on los Rojiblancos. Despite producing a fine display in their opener against Borussia Dortmund, Club Brugge eventually failed to grab something from the match, meaning that the visitors should be low on confidence ahead of the trip to Madrid.
Highlighted Player (Koke):
Jorge Resurreccion Merodio “Koke” has enjoyed a meteoric rise after coming through the youth ranks at Atletico Madrid, quickly becoming an important player for both club and country. Possessing impressive technical skills and very mature for his age, the highly rated midfielder is capable of covering just about any position in the middle of the park and he has been used as a central midfielder, left winger and right winger by both Diego Simeone and Vicente Del Bosque. Koke has been a key member of one of the best generations in the history of Atletico Madrid, winning the 2013/2014 La Liga trophy and reaching the Champions League final the same year. Widely regarded as one of Europe’s best midfielders, it is only a matter of time before Koke will join an absolute top club and he is believed to be a primary target for La Liga rivals Barcelona. While playing alongside Xavi Hernandez at the 2014 World Cup, Koke is believed to be a worthy successor of the former Catalans star in the national team now that he has retired, and with 20 Spain caps to his name, his international career is just starting.
