One less problem for him Atlético de Madrid and his coach, Diego Simeone, facing the meeting on Thursday August 13 before the Leipzig, Champions League quarterfinals. And also for the rest of the competition if the rojiblanco team advances from round.
Because the UEFA has decided that after the round of 16, the yellow cards that the players have will be cleaned. That is to say, that the mattress outfit's warnings for the clash against Leipzig are no longer.
They are also three important footballers for Cholo: Saul
(which is given to the German teams wonderfully
), Correa and Morata. The first two are in the plans of the Argentine coach to be the starters in the first duel of this final to eight against the German team. And predictably, the Madrid striker will have minutes in the second half.
UEFA has made this decision taking into account the special conditions of this tournament, which will be played from next week in Lisbon, as the qualifying rounds will be single-match. Under normal circumstances, it is from the quarterfinals that the players' yellows are cleaned, with the aim of not missing a final due to accumulation of cards. It should be remembered that you have to accumulate three to be sanctioned with one match.
Now, there will only be two games before the final (quarterfinals and semifinals), so UEFA's decision favors the Atlético de Madrid, which had three players under threat of suspension.
