Atlético de Madrid will face BVB in the second leg of the UCL quarterfinals. In the first leg, the colchoneros obtained a more than adequate result (2-1), even more so taking into account the final victory of the Germans. We leave you with the possible alignment of the mattresses:
BY: OBLAK – The Slovenian goalkeeper, despite not having one of his historic seasons at Atlético, is undoubtedly one of the best goalkeepers in the world. His imposing presence in goal is essential for Atlético de Madrid's defensive security. Oblak stands out for his size, impeccable positioning and feline reflexes, making him an insurmountable wall for rivals.
CAD: NAHUEL MOLINA – It could be a good match for Cholo Simeone to place his trust in the Argentine side. Alternating starts and substitutes, his contribution in attack is usually outstanding, and in this match it will be very important, given the high level that Girona has shown throughout the season.
DFC: STEFAN SAVIC – With his commanding presence and outstanding defensive skills, Savic is a leader in Atlético Madrid's rearguard. His ability to anticipate and close spaces will be crucial in this tough matchup against Girona.
DFC: WITSEL – Although Witsel's natural position is in midfield, his versatility makes him a valuable option in defense. The Belgian midfielder, experienced and skilled in recovering balls, provides a touch of tactical intelligence and quality in the release of the ball from the rearguard. Furthermore, over time, delaying his position helps him on a physical level to be able to last longer in the games.
DFC: BEAUTIFUL – He should become essential in Cholo Simeone's schemes, as he provides good ball output, speed and defensive rigor.
CAI: RIQUELME – Given the proximity of the second leg against Borussia Dortmund, Lino is one of the players who is showing the best level, so Cholo Simeone could choose to give him a rest and trust Riquelme. The truth is that the young footballer, every time who has come out has shown things like a great player in the future, and would face his former team, so he cannot have greater motivation.
MC: LLORENTE – His dizzying speed, ability to overwhelm and solidity in defensive tasks make Marcos Llorente an indispensable player. His contribution on the right flank adds to both the attacking and defensive firmness of the team. The versatility of good old Marcos allows him to play in many positions for Cholo, although this time it seems that he will play closer to the center of the field.
MC: KOKE – In the center of the field, captain Koke will lead the colchoneros. With his vision of the game, ability to distribute and leadership on the field, Koke is the engine that drives the team. One of the players who has created the most chances in LaLiga history will be essential for Cholo's team once again.
MC: PABLO BARRIOS – The Spanish midfielder is making a place for himself in the squad and in the starting lineup based on great games that are impressing the Colchoneros fans. An effort for each ball typical of a Cholo team, together with great quality that allows them to dribble and open spaces within the reach of few.
DC: GRIEZMANN – The Frenchman, the best player on the team without a doubt, and one of the best in the world, is being the leader of the team for another season, organizing from the top, scoring, assisting and playing better than ever.
DC: MORATA – And to close this attacking duo, who else, the team's top scorer. The Spanish forward is having a great season, with 20 goals already scored in all competitions.
