Roger Schmidt is backing Bayer Leverkusen striker Javier Hernandez to rattle Atletico Madrid.

Ahead of their Champions League clash, Schmidt is backing the Mexican for a big night.

The Bayer coach said: "He is in amazing form and he has played very well in every game so far this year.

"He profits from our improving form and we profit from his goals. It is hugely important when you play at this level to have players with such self-confidence and that kind of scoring efficiency. "We may not get a lot of chances so (Hernandez') efficiency will help us."
