Atletico Madrid representative Clemente Villaverde has predicted a "difficult" match against PSV Eindhoven when the two sides meet in the last 16 of the Champions League.

Diego Simeone's side have been knocked out by local rivals Real Madrid in both of the past two seasons, making it all the way to the final in 2013-14 before falling at the quarter-final stage last term.

They will be favourites to progress against PSV, but Villaverde has warned against complacency when they come up against the 1988 champions.

"We're really happy to be here for the third year in a row. PSV are a strong side, they're a side with a lot of history in Europe and I'm sure they'll make life difficult for us," he told UEFA's official website.

PSV finished ahead of Manchester United to qualify for the knockout rounds, while Atletico won their group ahead of Benfica.
