Simeone has guided Atletico to two finals but has failed to win the trophy, both defeats coming against rivals Real Madrid in 2014 and 2016.
Simeone emphasized Atletico's commitment with, "The club has never won this Champions League, and our objective is to reach that final, which is so desired and cherished by us."
Atletico is currently 11th in the standings with 12 points, just one point adrift of the top eight, fighting for knockout qualification.
Leverkusen, currently fourth in the Champions League standings, have been strong, winning their last 12 matches across all competitions.
