Atletico Madrid is relying on the Spanish league's toughest defense - and Antoine Griezmann up front - to qualify for the Champions League quarterfinals for the third straight year. Atletico, which has allowed only 12 league goals this season, will host PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday following a 0-0 draw in the first leg. ''From this moment, the PSV match is this season's most important,'' Atletico coach Diego Simeone said after his team's 3-0 win against Deportivo La Coruna.
