#3 Borussia Dortmund vs Atletico Madrid
After Atletico Madrid's triumph over Real Madrid, fans of the club expected the most from them. Los Rojiblancos have played 9 matches in all competitions and have won just 5 matches, drawing in 3 matches and losing only once.
They are currently sitting third in the rankings on the LaLiga table. After Griezmann's comment that he is at the same level as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, the football fraternity wants to see whether he really can help Atletico Madrid like Messi and Ronaldo help Barcelona and Juventus respectively.
In this match, he has got a chance to show the world what he is truly capable of. Borussia Dortmund has got the best start to this season, they have played 10 matches, and won in 8 matches, and drawn twice.
They sit on the top of the Bundesliga table after Bayern Munich's recent slump in form. Borussia Dortmund has got an impressive squad, and they certainly have the ability to win the league, but it is in the Champions League they have failed to perform since they lost to Bayern in the 2012/13 Champions League final.
In this match, Dortmund has the chance to prove that they still are one of the best clubs in Europe. With the stakes being high, both sides would look to win the match, and fans can expect the clubs to play top quality football.
