Simeone tried to fix the score with which the derby reached the break, 1-0 against, with a double change. Carrasco and Griezmann left and Lemar and João Félix entered. But the Frenchman’s departure, as Atlético confirmed, was due to muscle discomfort. The player had suffered a tackle from Carvajal and completed the first half touched.
Griezmann had a good chance in a free-kick that the squad sought but Courtois cleared with a flight of his own. In reality, the Frenchman, who his teammates could not find frequently, did not participate much more.
If necessary, the rojiblanco 8 will undergo further medical tests to determine if there is an injury, although the fact that it could go until half-time invites optimism to the rojiblanco coaching staff. The next appointment is the visit to Seville, on Saturday 18 at 9:00 p.m.
