From Atlético champion to missing at Slovan: the story of Ivan Saponjic

Slovan Bratislava visits the Metropolitano today, but will not have Ivan Saponjic in their attack. The Serbian striker, who was part of the Atlético team that won the league in the 2019-20 season, has disappeared from the map after a series of loans and contract terminations.

Saponjic arrived at Atlético from Benfica in the summer of 2019 as a bet on the future, but never managed to convince Simeone and only played a few minutes in the Copa del Rey and Liga.

After a loan to Cádiz and another to the Turkish Bandirmaspor, he returned to Atlético in January 2022 to terminate his contract and sign for Slovan. However, the Slovak club has not registered him for the Champions League or the league and his future is uncertain.

The possible starting eleven for Atlético against Slovan Bratislava in the Champions League

Atlético de Madrid coach Diego Simeone did not give any clues about the starting eleven he will field against Slovan Bratislava in the sixth round of the Champions League. However, a reliable and competitive team is expected, with nine consecutive victories in all competitions.

With Lemar in the squad, Simeone will have all his players available. In defense, Llorente and Galán seem to be fixed, while in the center of defense, Le Normand could play alongside Giménez or Lenglet.

In midfield, Barrios and De Paul hold the team together, with Giuliano on the right and Gallagher or Lino on the left. Up front, Julián and Griezmann are the most likely options, although Sorloth could also have a chance.
