Atlético does not live a quiet week. It seems impossible. Simeone's team thrashed Eibar and took a breath after a few days where had a bad time: beat Alavés with a scare; lost to Sevilla and drew with Betis. The 5-0 He came to reassure a squad eager to resume the path of triumphs. But everything that happened with the Super League has taken Atlético's leadership out of focus, which is once again feel strong to win it back after the triumph of Madrid. Plus, Simeone sees the recovery of his stars close: Luis Suárez is back, although he will not play. His return will be in Bilbao, like that of João Félix and Lemar.
Atleti faces a duel similar to the previous one (follow the game live on AS.com), now against a Huesca that also struggles not to descend. The numbers say that the rojiblancos should win relatively easily, but those of Pacheta play it and in the absence of seven days there is no lesser rival. One chases the title, the other doesn't go down. Atlético's main concern is that all the senses are put in the clash and not in what could be and will not be with the Superliga project. Huesca, Huesca and Huesca is what has been heard the most by Majadahonda.
Simeone seems to repeat eleven. It was again difficult for the team to enter the game against Eibar, but Correa appeared and the evils were dispelled. Argentine reborn, too Llorente, in a good level Carrasco and with Herrera ready to claim his position, Atlético wants another happy afternoon at the Wanda Metropolitano. Another party with moments of good football and goals. A victory will allow him to continue leading and the days go by …
Rafa Mir, the great asset of Huescto
Huesca, for its part, also recovers troops. His fight to save himself is commendable and the match is a final. It doesn't matter what the Metropolitan plays. It is not the best place to score, but all that matters little today. Two wins (Valladolid and Levante), six draws and eight defeats is his balance at home.
In the first leg, the Cholo team did not go from 0-0. He threw a good part of the game overboard and in the final stretch he deserved to win, but he was not fine in front of goal. Rafa Mir, Huesca forward, has sounded for Atlético, one of those footballers who do not have a great name, but whose performance is beyond doubt. Pacheta once again has Gastón Silva, not yet Ontiveros, and prepares some rotations. Atlético knows that they cannot let these three points escape.
