20'
CORREA MISSES
Club Brugge are compact but they are opened up by a great and quick one-two by Koke and Correa.
The Argentine finds space for a shot and flashes a low strike wide of the target.
17'
EVEN GAME
Nothing to split the sides yet - both have had chances but nothing clear cut.
Brugge are happy to keep possession when they get it and try to break on the counter but without the ball they will look to sit deep making it difficult for Atleti to get through.
The transitions from in and out of possession will be key.
14'
GREAT SAVE
A bad mistake from Onyedika as he is tackled by Lemar and then Griezmann is in to shoot.
He fires at goal from a tight-ish angle and Mignolet stops with his legs really well.
11'
JUTGLA SHOOTS WIDE
Reinildo slips in the middle of the pitch and Club Brugge are away.
Olsen flies down the right and pulls it back to Jutgla and he shoots first time powerfully, but wide.
9'
ROW Z
Molina does well down the right and pulls it back to the edge of the box for Kondogbia to strike into the stands.
7'
ANIMATED
Simeone is famous for being energetic on the sidelines and he is already bouncing around the touchline screaming at his players waving his arm around.
5'
HALF CHANCE
Club Brugge have their first attempt of the game, Olsen cuts it back to Sowah. He connects with it well but goes wide.
The wing-backs for the Belgian side could be vital tonight as they always are in their setup, they are often the chance makers.
3'
GOOD START
It's a positive start from Atletico as they knock the ball around with confidence.
Club Brugge are sitting deep and will happily wait for their moment to use their pace on the counter.

ANTHEM
The players are out the tunnel, the iconic anthem is being played and the crowd are noisy as ever in Madrid.
17:38
NOT A FORTRESS
The thought of having to play Atletico away from home on a Champions League night once put fear into opponents but they now look like a beatable side after years of being so defensively solid.
17:28
ONE TO WATCH
Ferran Jutgla - Club Brugge
The Spanish attacker was signed from Barcelona over the summer for €5 million and since his move he has been the standout player in the Club Brugge side.
Jutgla, 23, is rumoured to be wanted by Arsenal after netting eight goals and five assists in 14 matches in all competitions.
17:19
CLUB BRUGGE DREAMING
The Belgian's have never made it out a Champions League group and what a chance they now have.
They have won all of three of their games - scoring seven goals and not conceding a goal.
It's far from a team of stars either and most expected them to finish bottom of the group but confidence is high and a win vs Atleti tonight would seal their place in the knockout stages.
17:11
SIMEONE'S SIDE STUMBLING
It's not been a great start to the season for Atletico Madrid by their high standards.
They sit 4th in LaLiga, six points behind Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Then, in the Champions League they beat Porto but then last their last two 2-0 to Leverkusen and Club Brugge. They remain well in the mix to get out the group but they may have to settle for second if they can't beat tonight's opponents.

CLUB BRUGGE TEAM NEWS

16:57
ATLETICO LINE UP
Diego Simeone chooses this side for tonight's crucial tie. A 5-3-2 has been predicted but it can also be a 4-4-2 that the manager likes to use.
There are plenty of attacking options on the bench worth watching out for later in the game.
