Pipi Estrada, Nacho Palencia, Ramón Álvarez de Mon, Pepe Pasqués, Jorge Liaño and Jorge Segura have been the talk shows this Tuesday in The Tribesponsored by Sports during this season, to analyze the visit of Atlético de Madrid to Arsenalin the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals.
Pipi Estrada. “Simeone these days has been very aware of Julián, he has been on top of him, very motivating and very close, telling him ‘Julián, this is your game’. For Cholo, Julián is the man of the match. He is before his big date. I think he is going to go undercover. Today Julián is El Cid.”

Nacho Palencia. “I give Atético without Julián one chance out of a hundred. Julián is key. Without him, it is impossible for Atlético to win a title like the League, Cup or Champions League. He is the one who wins these games for you. He has to be there. It is Julián’s day. With him, the possibilities increase.”

Ramón Álvarez de Mon. “Madridismo is too broad, but I prefer Arsenal to pass. I think Arsenal are going to be 100% focused, another thing is if they can eliminate Atlético. If Julian is at 70%, maybe there are better options.”

Pepe Pasqués. “Julián is the type of player that big teams like Atlético de Madrid bring to play and win these games.”
If he is not completely well, Simeone would have to consider other options
Jorge Liaño. “Julián is the footballer who most threatens Arsenal and who conditions the English game system, but if he is not completely well, Simeone would have to consider other options. He is not ‘Juliandependencia’, but we must be aware that he is the star footballer of Atlético de Madrid.”

Jorge Segura. “These games have to be played by the best, if possible. I would like to know if City’s failure in the Premier League will influence Arsenal. The players, the coach and the fans will have felt liberated.”
