Derby at the Bernabéu: Possible Colchonero Lineup

Atlético de Madrid is preparing for an exciting derby against Real Madrid. Diego Pablo Simeone, true to his style, keeps the starting eleven a mystery, but the Rojiblancos fans expect a competitive and fighting team.

After a demanding series of matches, the coaching staff has focused on the physical recovery of the players, especially after the intense duels against FC Barcelona and Athletic Club. The confirmed absences of Koke Resurrección and César Azpilicueta, both due to muscle injuries, represent a challenge for Cholo.

In the last derby at the Bernabéu, Simeone already showed doubts, especially on the left wing. The big question is who will occupy that position, with Gallagher and Lino as the main options.

Key players such as Julián Álvarez, Marcos Llorente and José María Giménez, who rested in the victory against Athletic, are expected to return to the starting eleven.

Álvarez is expected to form a partnership in attack with Antoine Griezmann, while Llorente would be on the right side and Giménez in the center of defense, possibly accompanied by Robin Le Normand or Clement Lenglet.

Giuliano Simeone, Rodrigo de Paul and Pablo Barrios would complete the midfield, with Jan Oblak guarding the goal. The Colchonero fans trust Simeone’s strategy and the dedication of each player to achieve a positive result in this important match.
