Xabi Alonso and Atlético, a story of success and rivalry
Xabi Alonso, current coach of Bayer Leverkusen, visits the Metropolitano with an impressive record of 78 wins in 113 games. His style of play is based on long and fast wing-backs, such as Jeremie Frimpong and Alejandro Grimaldo, and a midfield with experience and talent, such as Granit Xhaka and Florián Wirtz.
The German team has won the first Bundesliga in its history and has defeated rivals such as Inter, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. The precedents between the two teams warn of a single victory for Atlético in their last five meetings, making the game an opportunity to demonstrate the evolution of the red and white team.
