Young Bulls ready for big Youth League tie v Atletico

Next round the target on Tuesday

Next up are Atletico Madrid! After a strong third-placed finish in the group stage and penalty drama against Celtic, our Young Bulls are to host the side from the Spanish capital this Tuesday 4 March at 14:00 in the last 16 of the UEFA Youth League. As ever in the elite European youth tournament, a single leg will decide which team progresses to the next round.

We have to be particularly aware of the attacking duo of Sergio Esteban and Omar Janneh, as the pair are responsible for ten Youth League goals for the club. We can not only expect to face plenty of talent on Tuesday at the Red Bull Academy but also some experienced young men - with numerous players from Luis Bueno's side already appearing for the Atletico B team in the Spanish third tier.

Atleti ended the Youth League's league stage five points behind our boys in seventh and then won 2-1 in a knockout clash against Rapid Vienna U19. We are determined not to give them a second success in Austria, as our Young Bulls target the final four!

To be able to play a last 16 tie at home in our academy against Atletico Madrid is a cool thing for everyone involved! We are a good match with a club that has a common playing idea. They have a very similar style of playing across all their teams. They enjoy defending, are not afraid of anything on the pitch and are extremely focused on getting results. They have a lot of parallels to their first team! It will be a big challenge for us, as they are definitely one of the most mature teams in the competition. We will have to play at our highest level, and if we do that I am certain we can beat these opponents too!

No tickets left | No shuttle bus

A (free) ticket booked in advance is required, but these are all fully booked. There will be no ticket point on the day!

The academy does not have any public parking spaces, and we therefore ask visitors to use free parking facilities by the Salzach lakes. The academy is less than 15 minutes' walk from there.

Please note: There will not be a shuttle service due to the limited recent demand.

There are also bicycle parking spots by the academy entrance that offer a comfortable and practical way to arrive.
