Seedorf: Atletico the favorite against Real Madrid

The former Blancos star has reminisced about his famous 1997 derby goal but believes his old side is a slight underdog going into Wednesday’s Champions League clash.

Clarence Seedorf says Real Madrid only has a 45 percent chance of progressing when it faces Atletico Madrid in the Champions League quarterfinal second leg.

The two sides drew 0-0 in the first leg last week at the Vicente Calderon and will renew hostilities this
Wednesday at the Santiago Bernabeu. Despite Real enjoying home advantage, Seedorf believes Atletico has the advantage.

“The 0-0 scoreline was a better result for Atletico,” Seedorf told Goal at Heineken’s #ChampionTheMatch event in Rio de Janeiro.
