Atlético got up early to train after the match against Levante. The Madrid team trained already thinking about Tuesday's Champions match against Chelsea (9:00 pm). It was a session where the footballers who did not play against the Granota team or those who did with the game started exercised.
Thus, Lemar, Dembélé, Vitolo, Saúl, Torreira and Ricard were there for more than an hour exercising on the pitch. Session with the ball and a good part of it dedicated to shots on goal. “You have to put it in”, was what was heard over and over again in Majadahonda before the shooting session of the six Atlético players.
Shots after receiving the ball, from the front, with both legs. Atlético missed many scoring chances in the two games against Levante, which ultimately penalized them in the face of the result. The team played well, it arrived, but it was especially bad in the face of the rival goal. And the players insisted yesterday on the shot on goal. Together with the six footballers, the two goalkeepers, Oblak and Grbic, worked.
Atlético is awaiting medical tests for Giménez, injured against Levante. He is ruled out for the match against Chelsea and depending on his evolution, he could reach Sunday's game against Villarreal. Carrasco is also injured, who will rush to get to the league clash.
Atlético will travel to Bucharest this afternoon (7:00 p.m.) where they will arrive to sleep. The Madrid team will train tomorrow Monday on the stage of the match.
