Change of plans in the Atlético de Madrid. Diego Pablo Simeone He decided to make a double substitution in the team to try to modify the dynamics of the mattress team. After a first half in which the rojiblancos were surpassed by Manuel Pellegrini's team.
On this occasion the sacrificed were Torreira Y Lemar. Neither of them had made a great first part. Some errors in the delivery of the balls had gotten Simeone's team into trouble.
Instead they entered Hector Herrera Y Yannick Carrasco. Two players who were the best of the team against Bayern Munich and who had remained on the bench. Two players with more experience and with whom Cholo hoped to have control of the game that he did not have in the first half.
The award took a few seconds because as soon as the second half began, Marcos Llorente's goal arrived. A goal with which they opened the scoreboard.
The third change you made Simeone in the match he was in the lead. Joao Felix He entered instead of Correa. The objective of the Argentine coach was that the Portuguese could take advantage of the spaces left behind by the Verdiblancos.
