As a player, Phillip Cocu captained the last Dutch side that reached the CL quarterfinals, PSV, in their 2006/2007 campaign in the competition. Cocu was also part of the PSV side that reached the last eight in 2004/2005.

STAT: Diego Simeone was on the pitch for 113 of the 120 minutes of Atlético's only home defeat against Dutch opposition, their 3-2 loss against Ajax in the quarterfinals of the 1996/1997 Champions League.

So not a bad start from PSV. They’ve had a lot of possession and comfortably dealt with and Atleti threat.

Shot deflected and PSV win the first corner. In it comes from Guardado and Griezmann whacks it clear for another corner. Headed clear again.

Griezmann has scored in every game since the first leg and already looks sharper than in Eindhoven. Back him to score tonight.

A really bright start from Griezmann but played it behind Carrasco and PSV win the ball back.

PSV have never won an away match against a Spanish team (D4-L8). One of their four draws in Spain, however, was the 1-1 at Real Madrid in the semifinals of the 1987/1988 Champions Cup, a result that was ultimately (return leg: 0-0) good enough to carry them into the final on the away goals rule.

Yup, the atmosphere is electric.

Already Simeone is on the touchline, urging his side to keep up the high tempo they have started with.

Not expecting PSV to play all that different to the first leg and Phillip Cocu said as much. He wouldn’t mind 0-0 and penalties. Good ball from Griezmann but Zoet out very early to claim.

Atleti setting up 4-4-2 on paper but could be more of a 4-3-3. PSV 5-3-2 in their change strip of light blue with white shorts.

PSV Eindhoven hadn’t reached the knockout stages of the Champions League since 2006/07. They were then eliminated by Liverpool in the quarter-finals.

Phillip Cocu: "We should have shown confidence on the ball and aggression and we should have played a high tempo game, but we didn't. It was really a below-par first-half performance. I asked the players during the halftime talk to at least up a gear or two and demanded focus on this game rather than on next week's clashes."
