Atlético is already in Liverpool. It arrived yesterday afternoon. He was received by a rainy city and with COVID cases growing, at the levels of January 2021. An Atlético who traveled without five important footballers: Lemar, Kondogbia and Llorente, due to injury, and Griezmann and Savic due to suspension, in the case of the Montenegrin it is the last game. It will therefore be a game, that of Anfield, in which the Argentine coach will have to show off his wardrobe. They are missing, but there are others. He traveled with 16 first-team footballers drenched in heroics. The one lived the last time he played in that stadium, on March 11, 2020, before the world changed forever. Klopp still hurts. He’s been chewing on that match ever since.
Possible eleven for Atlético and Real Sociedad.

This is a different game. Group stage and non-elimination stage. But the obligations are there. Atlético has four points, the same as Porto. The victory is necessary to avoid suffering in Group B, with the eye on the second round.
Possible Atlético de Madrid lineup today
Simeone’s idea for tonight goes through eleven startup men who would be Oblak in goal. Later, line five behind, with the three stations available (Felipe, Giménez and Hermoso) and Carrasco and Trippier on the lanes. In the center of the field, the command is for Koke and De Paul. Above, the new trident: João Félix, Suárez and Correa. The Portuguese rested precisely against Betis on Sunday with this match in mind. Play without pain. The intermittences are over. In the last matches (before Betis), it is the Cholo footballer who takes the spotlights, adjectives and neon lights.
