Bayer Leverkusen, Atletico Madrid meet in Champions League first leg

Published Jun. 30, 2017 6:28 p.m. ET

Bayer Leverkusen hosts Atletico Madrid in the first leg of their round of 16 series in the Champions League, with both clubs carrying two-game winning streaks into the competition.

Leverkusen has been boosted by an in-form Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez, who, following a lengthy goal drought has scored in three straight games, tallying five goals in that time. He's joined in the attack by 17-year-old rising German star Kai Havertz, who will look to make a grand impression on the big stage.

Atletico Madrid answers with an attack force featuring Antoine Griezmann and Kevin Gameiro, the latter of which had a five-minute hat trick in league play over the weekend. 

Here are the lineups for the match:
