Alert Julián! A Key Match at Stake
Atlético de Madrid is preparing for a crucial week, with clashes against Real Madrid in the Champions League and Barcelona in LaLiga. Simeone plans to field his stars, including Julián Álvarez, in the match against Getafe, despite the risk that he might receive a yellow card that would prevent him from playing against Barcelona at the Metropolitano.
Julián’s possible absence would be a hard blow for the team. The Argentinian player has been cautioned for several matches, since the match against Villarreal, managing to remain without warnings until now.
Colchonero fans hope that he will maintain his composure and be available for the important clash against Barcelona. Barrios and Giménez are the other two Atlético players who are also cautioned, although they are expected to start the match against Getafe on the bench. Prudence will be key to avoid sanctions that weaken the team at a decisive moment of the season.
