"A 3-1 win at Paris Saint-Germain prior to the last international break ensured that FC Bayern Women will at least be in the play-offs for the knockout rounds of the UEFA Women's Champions League. José Barcala's side can now take a big step towards an automatic spot in the quarter-finals as they visit Atlético Madrid on Wednesday. Kick-off at the Centro Deportivo Alcalá de Henares is at 21:00 CET. Here's all you need to know ahead of the game in our preview."
"Atlético have made a mixed start to their Champions League campaign. They comfortably won 4-0 at Twente last time out but were previously beaten 2-1 by Juventus and 1-0 by Manchester United. The Spaniards had opened the league phase with a 6-0 thrashing of St. Pölten. Nevertheless, they boast one of the best defences in the competition behind Barcelona and Chelsea with only three goals conceded."
Bayern arrive in Madrid after a 3-1 comeback victory at Paris Saint-Germain that guarantees at least a place in the Champions League knockout play-offs. José Barcala's team turned the PSG game around through Linda Dallmann, Momoko Tanikawa and Jovana Damnjanović and sit just one point behind Barcelona with two group games remaining. A win at Atlético would likely secure an automatic quarter-final berth. Atlético have had mixed results in the group, boasting a strong defence with only three goals conceded but inconsistent results domestically and in Europe. Kick-off is at 21:00 CET at Centro Deportivo Alcalá de Henares.
