Atletico Madrid veteran Witsel: Feyenoord's stadium will be very hot

Atletico Madrid veteran Axel Witsel says the players will be up for tonight's Champions League clash against Feyenoord.

Witsel rates the tie in Rotterdam as a 'final'

He said, "We play at their home, we have a lot of pressure. They are young, have a lot of personality and know how to press well. Tomorrow's match will be like the first leg and they will be able to count on the great atmosphere of their fans, with a very hot stadium.

"We will face a team that will do everything to win and press high. The atmosphere will be hot, but for us it will be a very important match. If we win tomorrow we will qualify and this is our objective.

"We have to start strong. From the first minute we have to come in strong and maintain the intensity until the end. A match like tomorrow's is the one we would all like to play. Important, in the Champions League and in a warm stadium."
