Bayern will travel to Wanda Metropolitano on Tuesday night safe in the knowledge that they have already qualified for the last 16 as Group A winners.
Bayern Munich have already thrashed Atletico 4-0 at Allianz Arena, before beating Lokomotiv Moscow 2-1 in Russia and Red Bull Salzburg 6-2 in Austria.
Flick's men also picked up a 3-1 win over Salzburg at home to book their place in the knockout stages.
Lewandowski has been left out of his latest squad along with first-choice goalkeeper Neuer and in-form midfielder Leon Goretzka, while Corentin Tolisso is still not quite ready to return after recovering from a muscle injury.
"I can confirm that Neuer, Lewandowski and Goretzka will not travel to Madrid. Tolisso, also, will not be there," Flick told a pre-match press conference.
"Apart from that, all players except for the long-term injuries Alphonso Davies and Joshua Kimmich are there."
Asked if he trusts a makeshift team to get a positive result against Atletico, the 55-year-old manager responded: "We trust the whole squad. We look forward to the game. You have the best defence and the second-best offence
