PSV Eindhoven vs. Club Atlético de Madrid, 0:3

PSV Eindhoven host Atlético Madrid in their first Champions League match of the season, a clash that should be one of the closest ties on Tuesday. PSV have been getting used to being the only Dutch representative in the CL, but failed to do a very good job defending their nation's pride in last season's edition. Atlético Madrid crushed Schalke 04 to get to the Champions League group stage, where they make their first appearance in eleven seasons. Interestingly, Atlético most recent Champions League game was against another Dutch team, crashing out of the 1997 quarter finals versus Ajax Amsterdam. Atlético hope to play with Diego Forlan and Johnny Heitinga, but Pernia, Pablo and Maxi should not be expected to make an appearance. REVIEW: Atlético got off to a good start in the Champions League on Tuesday, beating PSV Eindhoven 1-3 in the Netherlands. Sergio Aguero netted the opening goal after just nine minutes, and added a second in the 36th. PSV attempted to find their way back into the game after the interval, but had their hopes ended by a goal from Maniche in the 54th minute. The match was Atlético's first in eleven years, during which the Spanish side even spent some time in the Segunda Division.
