Patrik Schick to score any time

Patrik Schick is the man of the moment for Bayer Leverkusen.

The Czech Republic international only started one Bundesliga game before November, but he is now one of the first names on Alonso’s team sheet.

Schick has scored 13 goals in his last nine appearances across the Bundesliga and Champions League. He is one of Europe’s most in-form strikers right now.

With 16 strikes in all competitions since the beginning of the campaign, Schick has already bettered his tally from the whole of last season.

Atletico Madrid must keep a close eye on Bayer Leverkusen’s No.14 throughout Tuesday’s encounter.
