Atlético de Madrid faces the bottom of the group to continue having options to qualify for the second round of the Champions League, but it will not be an easy game at all, since the rival is the mythical AC Milan. The rojiblancos are in third place after having to play two consecutive games against an intractable Liverpool, but they have the opportunity to redeem themselves in the two remaining games.
Against Milan, Atlético will have to line up their best pieces to try to achieve the victory that allows them to get closer to qualifying for the round of 16. However, Cholo Simeone will not be able to count on one of his important pieces, Trippier, who was being essential to provide balance and centers from the right lane. In his place Vrsaljko will enter, although the Croatian does not convince the Argentine coach and could try an extraordinary solution such as that of Marcos Llorente from lane. The other question on the defensive line will be whether to use Felipe, who scored the winning goal last Saturday, or to trust the usual ones.
Joao Félix will also be low for the game, so there will be no doubt that Luis Suárez and Griezmann will be at the top. Both forwards begin to understand each other well and give results, so they will be the reference, with the foreseeable entry of Correa in the second half as a shock.
In the center of the field there will be no doubt that the captain will be, Koke Resurrección, who will be accompanied by Lemar, who is having a great season, and De Paul or Llorente, depending on the needs that Cholo deems appropriate to tackle. Let’s remember that Atlético will have to play two more important games next week, so the Argentine coach will rotate a lot to give his players rest. Therefore, this is the most likely alignment:
Oblak; Savic, Giménez, Hermoso; Llorente, Koke, De Paul, Lemar, Carrasco; Griezmann, Suarez.
