The Champions returns to enter our houses for the third consecutive week and the needs are already beginning to make an appearance. Puncturing at first can be a stumble, doing it at this point can turn into a fall. The real Madrid is a good example of this, since, after not passing the draw, and thanks, against Borussia Mönchengladbach in Germany and being beaten by Shakhtar Donetsk at Di Stéfano, the clash against Inter this Tuesday acquires final overtones. The Athletics, for his part, who also plays today, must show before Lokomotiv that Group A is a matter of two, Cholo and Bayern. In Munich the Bavarian roller passed them, but in the Wanda they reacted in time to a Salzburg (3-2 final) that got 1-2 in the second half.
Highlights of the day
Lokomotiv Moscow-Atlético de Madrid (6:55 p.m., Movistar Champions League)
The cold as a method to extinguish the rojiblanco fire. That will be the Lokomotiv formula to try to stop an Atleti that arrives thrown. His puncture against Bayern (4-0) on the first day was rectified in time by a João Félix who has been orbiting at the height of the stars for several games (He doubled Salzburg and Osasuna). Luis Suárez and Saúl are available again for Simeone and the Uruguayan he will try to bury a curse that has lasted for five years. The time he has not scored away from home in the Champions League.
Real Madrid-Inter de Milan (9:00 p.m., Movistar Champions League)
Inter, third, and Madrid, fourth, close group B after the first two days. Those of Conte add their matches by draws, those of Zidane give thanks for having achieved one in a final attack of faith in Mönchengladbach. Stumbling is not an option if you don't want to throw thorns down the path of the second round. The oldest ally of the white team will be an absence, that of Lukaku. Only ram with calibrated crosshairs: Lautaro has not marked for a month. Further, Hazard gave a great goal before Huesca that throws hope. Lucas Vázquez, recovered, will return to the side.
Atalanta-Liverpool (9:00 p.m., Movistar Champions League)
Fabinho, Thiago and Keita leave the engine room Net in box, in the same way that the attack is overcrowded by quality players. Diogo Jota asks for passage, but its inclusion would mean the departure of a piece of the trident that is recited by heart at Anfield: Mané-Firmino-Salah. If the Portuguese occupies the bench, the second part will be his hunting territory. Atalanta, meanwhile, promises what they always give, goals. The DEA does not understand soccer otherwise. The show is assured and the leadership of group D is at stake.
