Atlético-Alavés: Tribute to Simeone and re-entry without margin of error
Atlético de Madrid returns to competition after the international break, facing Las Palmas, PSG, and Mallorca, and with a stellar Oblak in defense. Simeone will celebrate his 700th game as Atlético coach, an important milestone for the Cholo and the club.
The intention of the red and whites is to arrive at their last game of the year against FC Barcelona with options to fight for everything. Simeone will bet on a team made up mostly of those who stayed in Madrid, with doubts such as Lino or De Paul. Atlético also clings to its performance as a local in the Metropolitan, where it has won four games and drawn two in the six Liga games played so far. Alavés, for its part, has its away performance as a pending subject, with one win and six losses.
