Champions League: Mbappe picks team he wants Real Madrid to face in last 16

Real Madrid forward, Kylian Mbappe, has said he wants to face Atletico Madrid or Bayer Leverkusen next in the Champions League.

Mbappe was speaking after netting a hat-trick as Madrid beat Manchester City 3-1 on Wednesday night.

Los Blancos progressed into the Round of 16 with a 6-3 aggregate.

Atletico have impressed this season and sit in third place in the La Liga table – just one point behind joint leaders Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Diego Simeone’s men automatically qualified for the Champions League knockout stages. Leverkusen also finished in the top-eight.

Mbappe said: “It was a great performance. I want to make history with this club and these teammates.

“Bayer Leverkusen or Atleti next? Both difficult but I prefer Atleti, so we save ourselves a trip!”
