He said, “It was a bad game. We started well, but then we couldn’t maintain our rhythm. If we play like this, we won’t win on Tuesday, that’s quite clear. I hope this will wake us up.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote> Unlike Real Madrid, Diego Simeone’s men collected all three points on the weekend as they edged past Athletic Bilbao 1-0 courtesy of a Julian Alvarez goal in the 66th minute of the match.<\/p> Simeone’s men qualified for the Round of 16 directly with 18 points from 8 matches and haven’t featured in the competition since their 4-1 win against RB Salzburg in January. Simeone missed out on the UCL titles in 2014 and 2016 with Real Madrid winning in the final on both occasions and would be hot on his heels to exact revenge on players in white on Tuesday.<\/p> The Playoffs aim to facilitate the safest bets for the game.
