Salzburg - Atlético: The obsession to win
Atlético de Madrid faces Salzburg with the need to win to avoid speculation and secure their direct passage to the round of 16 of the Champions League. The phrase ‘Win, win and win’ is one of the most iconic of the club and comes to mind more than ever.
The red and white team has an experienced squad, with an average age of 29.1 years, and players like Koke, De Paul and Giuliano who provide talent and grit. Salzburg, on the other hand, is the youngest team in the Champions League, with an average age of 22.3 years. Coach Simeone does not save anything and will go out with everything available to achieve victory and avoid speculation in an intense February in which Real Madrid awaits in LaLiga and a possible semi-final clash in the Copa del Rey.
