ATLETICO MADRID – GIRONA | Saturday 4:15pm
Atletico Madrid’s problems are not few. That they are highlighted above all in the Champions League where Simeone’s team struggles and finds itself, as it did last year, fighting for the passage to the round. The defeat in Belgium against Club Brugge was certainly not expected at home Colchoneros, yet it came as usual without even giving the feeling of having the will to stay within the challenge. In short, an attitude that did not please the Cholo, who expects an immediate response in the league.
Girona, at least on paper, are a match for the books and, moreover, they come from two defeats in a row in the league. Atletico, therefore, at least in La Liga, have the chance to return to smile.
