The Atletico Madrid will try to take advantage this Saturday at the Cívitas Metropolitano (9:00 p.m. / DAZN) of the euphoria for the ‘in extremis’ victory in the Champions League against Porto, thanks to the ‘revulsive’ Antoine Griezmann, to settle in LaLiga Santander, where he will meet a Celta and a ‘Pichichi’ Iago Aspas who yearn for their third consecutive win to get closer to European positions. A game in which the rojiblancos, in addition to the points, will try to improve the poor game offered against their parish in their first two appearances at the Metropolitano this season.
Griezmann He is knowing how to squeeze his new revulsive condition, motivated by the conditions of the assignment agreement signed by the mattresses and Barcelona. The French striker has been a substitute in the four league games played so far, coming off in each of them exactly in the 63rd minute, including when he returned to Donosti to face Real Sociedad (1-1).
Simeone will not be able to count on Sergio Reguilón, Stefan Savic or Matheus Cunha this Saturday. In exchange, he recovers Nahuel Molina, who already had minutes in ‘Champions’, after being sanctioned.
Regarding the eleven, the unknown is again if Simeone offers rest to any of his players after the European week, although a priori he could return to Geoffrey Kondogbia or Rodrigo de Paul to the center of the field to the detriment of Saúl, who started against Porto. Joao Félix and Morata will again bring danger to the rival area and Griezmann will wait for his opportunity on the bench.
Ordered from Aspas
Celta hopes to continue their triumphs in recent weeks against Girona (0-1) and Cádiz (3-0), which made them forget their poor league start with a draw against Espanyol and a defeat against Real Madrid. Seven of 12 possible points that place the Galician team just two from the continental zone, to which the locals also aspire.
Now, those of ‘Chacho’ Coudet they will try to keep a clean sheet for the third consecutive game and will once again entrust themselves to their hero, Iago Aspas. The one from Moaña accumulates five goals -the same as Barça’s Robert Lewandowski- and has scored in all the games played this season, which makes him an essential piece in the Vigo scheme.
