Atletico Madrid is looking for their first two -legged victory against their capital rivals in Europe if they meet in 16. 16. 16. Champions League.
Atleti was so close in her first Continental meeting with Real Madrid to bring her semi-finals from 1958/59 European Cup to a play-off, but Los Blancos won the decisive game 2-1 on the way to European title number four of 15.
It has been a while since Diego Simeone’s side has ventured into the last phases of the Champions League after reaching the final 2014 and 2016 (before she lost to Real Madrid). After an impressive league phase, the hope of the La Liga title have to enjoy a deep run after an impressive league phase, but they first have to meet the best -known enemies in the past 16 years.
Here you can find out how Atleti could face the first leg on Tuesday in Bernabeu.
GK: Jan Oblak – The long-time Atleti goalkeeper is the only player in the Simeone squad who plays every minute in the previous competition this season. That doesn’t change during the knockout level.
RB: Marcos Llorente – Llorente had an enormous influence on the bank against the Athletic Club at the weekend and looked at the game’s only goal with an adorable pass.
CB: Jose Gimenez – Gimenez is another one who came from the bank on Saturday and stands to return to the XI starting goods in the middle of the week.
CB: Robin Le Normand – Clement Lenglet played admirably this season when he returned to La League, but Atleti signed Le Normand to play these opportunities.
LB: Javi Galan – The experienced full -back was not published in the Champions League in front of his league facing at Atleti, and now he has established himself as a left -back of Simeone’s first choice.
RM: Giuliano Simeone – Nepotism is certainly not the reason why Giuliano all starts the right of Atleti. El Cholo’s son is an exciting view that enjoys the outbreak this season.
Cm: Rodrigo de Paul – – – No Atleti outfield has collected more protocols from the Champions League than de Paul this season (574). It is absolutely essential in Simeone’s hardworking machine room.
Cm: Pablo Barrios – The aspiring midfielder had some disciplinary problems in an otherwise impressive season, and the manager will certainly not mind that Barrios will test the officials over these two legs. He is also a cultivated ball player.
LM: Conor Gallagher – It is a litter between the Summer Hands Gallagher and Samuel Lino for the starting role in the left side. Perhaps Simeone Gallagher’s persistence preferred to Linos two-way threat in one night like this.
ST: Antoine Griezmann – Griezmann is so often the man to produce a little magic out of nowhere, and the masterful Frenchman enjoyed another outstanding season in the capital.
ST: Julian Alvarez – After taking some time to keep up, there has been no longer alvarez in red and white lately. The Argentinian scored six times in the league and was the bank winner of the bank in La Liga at the weekend.
