Two clubs chasing UEFA Champions League glory will do battle today in a match between Olympiakos and Atletico Madrid. The group-stage match scheduled for 2:45 p.m. ET will be held at Karaiskakis Stadium in Piraeus and can be live streamed here free.
Olympiakos manager Michel had this to offer ahead of today's European encounter (via UEFA): "All the games at this stage are difficult. Atlético's result at the weekend against Real Madrid shows to all of us who we are up against. I expected that result. Diego Simeone knows his team very well. He's created a real team. The results speak for themselves. We are fully prepared. We have the experience and we will fight for the result."
"Atlético have changed players, but they remain the same powerful side," he added. "They have teamwork, so changes to individual players will not change much for them.
"Each team has its style and we will play our own style tomorrow and I believe we will do well. There will be no changes in our style of play. Attacking, keeping possession and defending well."
