Atlético Seeks Revenge with Changes in the Starting Eleven
Atlético de Madrid is preparing for a crucial match at the Metropolitano, looking to redeem themselves after the defeat in Las Palmas. Simeone seems to be betting on tweaks to the starting eleven, without reaching a complete revolution.
Barrios, after overcoming some loads, is available and Cholo has his 23 players. One of the most notable changes is Griezmann’s possible benching. The coach has been trying out Julián Alvarez and Sorloth in attack, looking to exploit the connection between the Argentinian and the Norwegian.
In defense, Lenglet is expected to return to the center back alongside Le Normand, leaving Giménez on the bench. Llorente and Galán would occupy the full-back positions. In midfield, De Paul, recovered from his injury, would accompany Barrios, while Koke would be left out of the starting lineup.
Giuliano Simeone and Gallagher will take care of the wings. In summary, Simeone could field a similar eleven to the one he has used in recent times, but with the surprising benching of Griezmann and Giménez, showing the usual rotation in the center of defense. The fans expect a positive reaction and convincing play in this important match.
