Hosts should win this.

Atlético de Madrid is the best team in Spain right now. They have a squad full of quality and with many good players precisely to be competitive in several competitions at same time. The level of the team is huge, with experience and talent.

They are playing well lately. Also when start the games with bad performances (like against Espanyol this weekend), Simeone has an amazing bench to make changes and make a comeback, as they did. Is a team with a lot of alternatives and different players.

The Champions League is the dream of the club, and they are focused on achieving it. The first step is a difficult group stage with Oporto, Liverpool and AC Milan. This will be the easier game, at home, so the victory is mandatory.

They have high morale for this game after achieving a comeback against Espanyol and scoring the winning goal at 99’ in the weekend. Some players like Lemar, Llorente or Carrasco are in amazing form.

Oporto is the weaker team in the group, but this doesn't mean that will be easy. Last year they had a great tournament, winning against Juventus and losing by just one goal against Chelsea (the winner of the title).

But their squad is one step below Atletico, who has TOP players on all positions, while Oporto has some veterans like Pepe and others without experience like Luis Diaz.

Atlético de Madrid made some mistakes in the last games: starting at 50% and making mistakes at the back. Something which is against their DNA, based on being ultra competitive, be at 200% and don't make never a mistake in defence. That’s why I think that Simeone worked on this and we will see the best version of Atletico de Madrid today since the first minute.

In the last weeks we saw the best version of the team just in the second half or 1 hour, and the team has enough experience in UCL to know that if they don't have enough motivation/concentration in this tournament, any team can win them.

Obviously, the quality difference is huge here. Atletico Madrid has an amazing squad and I see them favorites to win this difficult group. But first they need to beat a competitive but weak team like Oporto, who shouldn't be a rival for “The Colchoneros” if they are at 100%. Full squad available, only Savic is suspended.

Atlético de Madrid现在是西班牙最好的球队。他们拥有一支高质量的球队，拥有许多优秀的球员，能够同时在几项比赛中具有竞争力。这个团队的水平很高，经验和天赋都很丰富。

他们最近打得很好。同样，当比赛开局表现不佳时(比如本周末对阵西班牙人)，西蒙尼会有一个令人惊讶的板凳来做出改变并东山再起，就像他们做的那样。是一支有很多选择和不同球员的球队。

冠军联赛是俱乐部的梦想，他们正专注于实现它。第一步是困难的小组赛，波尔图，利物浦和AC米兰。这将是一场更容易的主场比赛，所以胜利是必须的。

他们在这场比赛中士气高昂，在周末对阵西班牙人的比赛中，他们在99分攻入制胜一球。有些球员，比如勒马尔、略伦特或卡拉斯科，状态非常好。

波尔图是小组中实力较弱的球队，但这并不意味着这将是一件容易的事情。去年他们在联赛中表现出色，战胜了尤文图斯，以一球之差输给了切尔西(冠军得主)。

但是他们的阵容比马竞低了一步，马竞在所有位置上都有顶级球员，而波尔图有像佩佩这样的老将和像迪亚兹这样没有经验的人。

Atlético马德里在上一场比赛中犯了一些错误:以50%开局，在后场犯了一些错误。这违背了他们的DNA，基于极度的竞争性，保持200%的状态，在防守上从不犯错。这就是为什么我认为西蒙尼为此而努力，今天我们将看到马德里竞技自第一分钟以来最好的版本。

在过去的几周里，我们在下半场或1小时看到了这支球队的最佳表现，这支球队在欧冠有足够的经验，知道如果他们在这场比赛中没有足够的动力/专注，任何一支球队都可以赢得比赛。

显然，这里的质量差异是巨大的。马竞拥有一支令人惊叹的球队，我认为他们最有希望赢得这个困难的小组。但首先他们需要击败像波尔图这样有竞争力但实力较弱的球队，如果他们100%的实力，就不应该成为“科尔乔尼厄斯”的对手。全队都可以上场，只有萨维奇被禁赛。
