Lokomotiv are in a deep sporting crisis in the Russian League and this has also affected them in the Champions League. The Russians haven't lived up to expectations and have only won one match, losing the rest.
As they can't qualify for the next round of the Champions League or the Europa League, Lokomotiv will go the Metropolitano looking get some moral and gain some pride against Atlético, who could still be knocked out.
According to 'Mundo Deportivo', the Russian side will hardly have any fans in Madrid as only around 300 will travel to support their team.
Despite this, the match has been declared high risk by the authorities and special attention will be paid to the hours before the match.
