“Atlético de Madrid and PSG face off in crucial match in Paris”
Atlético de Madrid and PSG face off tonight at the Parc des Princes in a crucial match for both teams, who need to win to avoid falling further behind in the Champions League standings.
Atlético, who have not won away from home in Europe for a long time, will travel to Paris with the absence of three important central defenders. Lenglet, Witsel and Reinildo are the defenders available to Simeone, who could use Molina on the right side with Giuliano on the flank.
Griezmann and Julián Alvarez will repeat up front, although Simeone has not practiced with a fixed starting eleven and could introduce some surprises. The Asturian coach also has some doubts, such as whether to play Asensio or Kang-in Lee and the goalkeeper position. The coach is considering continuing to use Safonov instead of the untouchable Donnarumma. The match will be broadcast on Movistar Liga de Campeones.

“Grotesquely mistake by Lenglet in PSG’s 1-0 win over Atlético”
Atlético de Madrid started very nervously in their match against PSG at the Parc des Princes. The mattress team had to defend themselves against the avalanche of opportunities from Luis Enrique’s team in the first few minutes.
The first goal of the French team came in the 15th minute, after four shots on goal from Jan Oblak. No one expected the goal to come after such a grotesque mistake by Clement Lenglet, who got tangled up with the ball at his feet and allowed Ousmane Dembelé to steal the ball and score.

“Zielinski reveals interest from Atletico and Barcelona”
Piotr Zielinski, a 30-year-old Polish midfielder, was one of the ‘bargains’ of the last transfer market. The footballer, who was finishing his contract with Napoli, ended up being hired by the Serie A champion, Inter Milan, where he is being important under the orders of Simone Inzaghi.
Now, Zielinski has revealed that the neroazzurro club was not the only one that knocked on his door to try to get his services. Atlético de Madrid and Barcelona were also interested in his signing, as the player himself revealed in an interview with Kanal Sportowy.
‘There were clubs like Liverpool, Arsenal and Atlético de Madrid interested in me, and I also received specific requests from Barcelona. However, I love Italy. When I arrived at Napoli I immediately felt very comfortable and for this reason it would have been difficult for me to move to England’, he revealed.
The option of LaLiga also seduced him, but in the end he decided to stay in the country where he arrived at the age of 18, just after reaching the age of majority. ‘I could have thought about Spain, but my priority was to continue my career in Italy. Now I am at Inter, but Napoli is still a great club and I would have loved to renew my contract there’, he revealed.

“The Social Commission of Atlético de Madrid will debate the removal of Courtois’ plaque”
Atlético de Madrid has created the Social Commission, a consultative body formed by representatives of various collectives and fans of the club, which meets periodically to debate issues related to the identity, history and symbols of the rojiblancos.
In the next meeting, which will be held in November, one of the topics to be debated will be the removal of Courtois’ plaque from the Paseo de los centenarios.
Eduardo Fernández, president of the International Union of Peñas and member of the Social Commission, has confessed in the program Bendita Afición Rojiblanca that the majority of the members of the Commission think the same thing, that the plaque must be removed.
The divorce between the Atlético de Madrid fans and Thibaut Courtois came when the goalkeeper signed for Real Madrid and it worsened when the goalkeeper made some statements before a Champions League final. After that, some fans went so far as to tear down the Belgian goalkeeper’s plaque. The last episode was the throwing of objects in the derby after the Real Madrid goalkeeper celebrated the white goal defiantly looking at the Fondo Sur of the Metropolitano.
