On Tuesday, starting at 20:00 pm, the Juventus – Atletico Madrid match will be played in the fifth round of Group D of the Champions League.
“The Old Lady” is the leader in Group D, with 10 points obtained in the first 4 games. This is mathematically qualified in the sixteenth round. In contrast, Atletico Madrid occupies the second position with 7 points, 4 lengths ahead of the Russians from Lokomotiv Moscow. Cholo Simeone’s team does not have the qualification, but it is hard to believe that the same will not qualify in the next phase of the competition, taking into account the individual value of the players, but also the way they showed in the first 4 stages both the Moscow team, and Bayer Leverkusen – occupants of positions 3 and 4.
Juventus will use the best first 11 since the start of the match. Sarri has rested his best players in the championship match with Atalanta. Among the players in charge was the lackluster Cristiano Ronaldo, who was not even on the reserve bench in the Bergamo dispute. Thus, against Atletico, the hosts will use an offensive “duo” consisting of Ronaldo and Higuain, with Ramsey behind the tips.
On the other hand, Atletico Madrid will not be able to use the injured Sime Vrsaljko, Stefan Savic and Diego Costa. In addition, Jose Gimenez is uncertain, but he could appear in the Turin duel from the first minute.
