Costa’s injury left him alone and the coach decided to rest him against Osasuna. Your account is already five goals in six days and a growing understanding with João, with whom the combinations in attack are improving. His duty is that he has not yet scored in the Champions League as an rojiblanco.

And the third tip is Marcos Llorente. The revelation of the final section of the past year remains at a high level in 20-21. Has played open to the right wing, up front and as midfield and inside and in all positions it has shone. And he has convinced Luis Enrique to take him to the Selection. He has four goals and two assists, beyond the energy and intensity that Simeone values ​​so much.

Correa, the perfect ally

So, the trident already accumulates 16 goals (13 in the league, only Real Sociedad and Barça have more) and they have triggered the illusion. As a luxury partner, they also have a Correa who has given three assists in the last four games. Y Boil sends, Herrera it grows, Torreira it already looks adapted, Saúl is intoned after the injury, and Diego Costa and Carrasco they are about to leave the infirmary… The team enjoys and has a trident that invites them to dream. The next exam, the Atleti-Barça on the 21st.
