The previous
Atlético de Madrid comes to this event after beating Bruges in the round of 32 playoff. The red and white team is on a good streak with three consecutive league victories and qualified for the Copa del Rey final despite the 3-0 defeat against Barcelona in the second leg of the semi-finals. The mattress team is confident of getting a good result at home and with its fans.
Meanwhile, Tottenham comes to this match after qualifying among the top eight in the league phase, but right now it is immersed in a deep sporting crisis, where it has gone 11 consecutive games without winning and is one point away from the relegation spots in the Premier League. It will be a special match for Conor Gallagher, who returns to the one he went home for a season and a half.
Atlético de Madrid enters this match with the confirmed absence of Rodrigo Mendoza who suffered a sprained right ankle in the match against Real Sociedad. For its part, the English team arrives with multiple casualties such as James Maddisondue to a torn cruciate ligament, Mohammed Jerusalemdue to an injury to the quadriceps tendon or Rodrigo Betancurdue to surgery on the hamstring. Other players who will not make it to the match against Atlético de Madrid are Wilson Odobert, Ben Davies and Lucas Bergvall.
It has been many years for these two teams to face each other again. The last time was in the final of the European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1963, where the English team emerged victorious. Tottenham also returns to the Metropolitano seven years after playing the Champions League final here, when they lost to Liverpool 2-0.
