Atletico Madrid team news

Julian Alvarez’s presence in attack is likely to be decisive for Diego Simeone’s side, especially after his standout performance in the emphatic 5-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt at home, where he not only netted a penalty but also played a key role in chance creation.

Antoine Griezmann’s sensational run continues, as the Frenchman recently celebrated his 200th La Liga goal during Atletico’s triumph over Sevilla last weekend. His sharp finishing and creative ability are expected to pose serious problems for the Belgian team’s back line.

On the injury front, Atletico will have to make do without goalkeeper Juan Musso, while Pablo Barrios remains a doubt after missing the weekend’s domestic fixture. Manager Diego Simeone is likely to rotate his squad in light of the congested fixture schedule. Nonetheless, experienced shot-stopper Jan Oblak should continue to provide stability in goal.

Possible Atletico Madrid starting XI: Oblak; Llorente, Gimenez, Hancko, Ruggeri; Simeone, Koke, Baena, Gonzalez; Sorloth, Alvarez
