Suárez's unexpected loss leaves Simeone with few options in his lead to face Barcelona. He was already in a similar situation before Osasuna. The quarry and the 'forgotten' Saponjic can be some solutions from the bench. Vitolo, Costa and Carrasco were the great doubts. In the case of the latter, he trained normally and points to Barça. Of course, the Canarian and the Spanish-Brazilian experience different tessitura. Although the latter has options, he does not have them all with him. Vitolo has something more complicated.
Marcos Llorente: the revolutionary
He already warned at Anfield of his danger. His new role as second striker where he falls to the right wing is key for him to vindicate himself. His good hitting and unchecking also make him a false nine in the face of the rival defense. Four goals in 600 minutes confirm that he is at a spectacular level in his second season with the mattress team.
João Félix: the great leader
The Portuguese is the magician of the team. We have already analyzed in AS that his favorite position is behind another striker, playing freely and having a lot of contact with the ball. This is how you have fun and increase your performance. Seven goals in 750 minutes of play credit him as a constant danger to his team. Against Barça all the lights will be on him.
Correa: the faithful squire
The last two seasons of the Argentine are worthy of praise. “The one I consider to be more forward than we have is Correa, but he does it so well on the right, even if he gets angry playing there because he likes to be a forward, “explained a Simeone who has always had good words towards Ángel. The attacker revolutionizes the games and he understands wonderfully with João and Suárez.
Carrasco: the most anticipated return
The Belgian trained normally with his teammates and aims for the match against Barcelona. Since he returned to the red-and-white parish, he has offered a huge performance compared to what has been seen before and is one of the most unbalanced players of the entire Atlético squad.
Saponjic: now or never
Although the famous topic of 'now or never' is always talked about, the truth is that it is never fulfilled later. Simeone does not have him and is the player with less prominence in the mattress club. In the previous campaign he played two bets in the league and in this new one we have not seen him yet.
Camel: the most option in the house
The killer of the subsidiary is also in Simeone's plans. Despite the fact that it usually enters the calls, it does not finish having minutes. It is unknown if he is ahead of the Serbian in what would be one of the more homemade bets.
