Possible Starting 11
Oblak is #1 for Simeone’s team and has been for some time. In the best Atletico has some options, the trio with the most minutes seems to be: Azpi, former CDM Witsel and Hermoso. The two wingbacks are Molina and Lino, however Reinildo was injured, so he can make a comeback soon.
In the midfield we’ve went with Llorente, De Paul and Saul Niguez, but we cannot forget the veteran captain, Koke. In attack, we can expect Griezmann and Alvaro Morata to start most matches.
