Atlético and Arsenal play this Wednesday the first round of the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals. Spaniards and English will play the 90 minutes with significant casualties (in the locals, Barrios, in the visitors, Merino and Havertz) but with elevens of guarantees.
Simeone has several doubts. The physical condition of Hancko and Lookman (both arrive but just) causes doubts in an eleven also marked by Marcos Llorente’s position. He can be a winger (Molina would go to the bench) or a midfielder (Cardoso would be the one sacrificed in the eleven). Be that as it may, the rojiblancos have a competitive team in which Julián will be the main offensive style.
For Arsenal, Raya will occupy the goal protected by four centre-backs (Mosquera and Hincapié will occupy the wings). In the midfield, Zubimendi will set the tempo while in attack it seems that Trossard will be the left winger instead of Martinelli.
Probable lineups
Atlético’s probable lineup: Oblak; Llorente, Pubill, Le Normand, Ruggeri; Giuliano, Koke, Cardoso, Lookman; Griezmann and Julian
Probable Arsenal lineup: Stripe; Mosquera, Gabriel, Saliba, Hincapié; Odegaard, Zubimendi, Rice; Saka, Gyokeres, Trossard
