Sometimes, their problem is that the Premier League is too easy for them. I think Jack will be alright but the longer City go without winning the Champions League, the harder it will be. "They signed Jack Grealish, but he's not done anything yet and they're still going to win the league. When Man City are buying players, they're not even making a massive difference. "The longer it goes on, the harder it becomes if I'm being honest. It's alright winning the Premier League as they've got £80m players in every position and while Pep's not won the Champions League in 10 years, City never have. Image: Manchester City players celebrate against Sporting CP It's a slump overseen by Nelson Verissimo, the B team coach who took over after Jorge Jesus was fired at the end of last year despite the results against Barcelona. The result was another blow for the Portuguese powerhouse that are only third in the league standings, behind rivals Sporting Lisbon and leaders Porto. The latest setback was a 2-2 draw at relegation-threatened Boavista in the Portuguese league after leading 2-0 until the 74th minute. But Benfica's confidence isn't so high now after winning only twice in five games in all competitions. The Dutch leaders are as dominant domestically, winning the last seven matches to establish a five-point lead at the top of the Eredivisie.īenfica reached the last 16 by helping to eliminate Barcelona with a win and draw against the five-time European champions.

Atletico have lost each of their last four Champions League matches against English teams, double the number of defeats they suffered across their first 12 such matches in the competition.United's only previous visit to Atlético Madrid was in the first leg of their 1991-92 Cup Winners' Cup tie at the Vicente Calderón, when a starting XI that contained Peter Schmeichel, Denis Irwin, Steve Bruce, Paul Ince, Bryan Robson and Mark Hughes (amongst others) were beaten 3-0 by Luis Aragonés' men.Atletico Madrid and Manchester United have only appeared in the same European campaign once before - the 1991-92 Cup Winners' Cup - when the Spanish side knocked out their English counterparts 4-1 on aggregate in the Last 16.

While Atletico are the defending Spanish champions, United haven't won a trophy since the 2017 Europa League under Jose Mourinho. Simeone is likely to face United without Daniel Wass and Matheus Cunha because of injuries, while Thomas Lemar remains in isolation with coronavirus. Like United in England, Atletico are currently chasing the fourth and final Champions League qualification place in Spain. There was an encouraging 3-0 win at Osasuna at the weekend but Atletico had lost four of their previous six games in all competitions before Saturday, including eliminations from the Spanish Super Cup and the Copa del Rey. The team is inconsistent - much like United - and Simeone is feeling the heat. But fresh from marking a decade in charge in December, Atletico are enduring one of their most turbulent moments under Diego Simeone. Evergreen striker Luis Suarez will hope to renew his rivalry with the men from Old Trafford, but Antoine Griezmann is yet to figure since his return from a thigh injury.Ītletico are led by the longest-serving coach remaining in this season's Champions League. However, they did beat United over two legs the last time the clubs met, in the second round of the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1991-92. They emerged from Group B as runners-up behind Liverpool despite losing 3-2 at home to the Reds and 2-0 at Anfield, and went out of the competition at this stage last season to eventual winners Chelsea following a 1-0 defeat at the Metropolitano and a 2-0 reverse at Stamford Bridge. Simeone's men currently lie in fifth place in Spain, 15 points behind arch-rivals Real Madrid at the top of the table - they have lost seven league games to date this season, three more than in the whole of the last campaign - and had their domestic cup hopes shattered by Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup exits inside a week last month. Having led Atletico to La Liga glory for the second time last season, Diego Simeone has endured a frustrating campaign to date.
