Not only in the Champions League but this season Atletico are still struggling in the domestic league so I don't expect anything from them for the Champions League.
Griezman's drastic decline in Barcelona's performance still continues at Atletico at this time and Morata's presence is still quite good but this still can't do much.
Atletico experienced a very difficult situation this season, they are only in 6th place in the La Liga table. With the current situation in Atletico Madrid, how we can expect a big thing from this club in UCL? We only can expect that they can improve their position at La Liga table, at least they can be in 4th place. Not only Griezmann and Morata, but all other players of Atletico Madrid are also decreasing their performances. However, the most visible weakness of Atletico squad is their defensive line. During this season, their nature/characteristic with a strong defense line is totally gone.
Currently they are at the bottom of Group B with 3 points although there is a chance for them to qualify for the next round but I am quite skeptical about this.
Yes, Atletico is at the bottom, but 3 teams have the same points (3 points). Atletico surely has a chance to qualify for the next round. But I think it is better to focus on the La Liga matches than think a lot about UCL competition. They can't join UCL next season if they fail to finish in the top 4 in La Liga table at the end of this season.
Actually for the La Liga position, especially in the top 4, I'm still pretty confident with them, apart from a few clubs at the moment which incidentally are dark horses like Bilbao and Betis, I think they have a chance that they can still compete, especially in this case, after they won against Girona yesterday they managed to be there. at position 4 now.
But for those who always qualify for the knockout phase in the Champions League, it will be a big loss if they don't qualify now because obviously there are certain things they will feel when they don't qualify for the knockout phase so they need to try extra.
