Atlético de Madrid and Bayern de Munich face in the fifth day of the Group A of the Chamions League, in a match that seems decisive for the rojiblancos, who occupy the second place with five points, for the Bayern 12, who is already first of the group whatever happens, with the Lokomotiv of Moscow third, with three points, and the RB Salzburg fourth, with only one.
The rojiblancos need yes or yes to score, in the stadium Metropolitan Wanda, against the Bavarian giant to depend on themselves in the sixth and last day of the group. Although they could not tie two draws against the Lokomotiv, the team of Cholo Simeone transmits great sensations, although they will not be able to count, even on this day, with their nine, Luis Suarez, discharged for having tested positive for coronavirus. Also will not be Diego Costa, due to a venous thrombosis, which has been absent for more than a month, so the team does not have a center forward.
Last weekend, they achieved an important victory in Mestalla, without the Uruguayan striker, with a goal from Toni Lato own goal (0-1), to beat a Valencia that barely had scoring chances on the goal of Jan Oblak. In addition to the low Suarez, neither will his compatriot Lucas Toreirra, also infected by Covid-19, as well as Hector Herrera, injured in his muscles during the national team break.
The Atlético de Madrid, then, it has 23 points in LaLiga Santander out of 27 possible, which speaks to the level of the team clearly. They have 18 goals in favor, only two against, although this reliability has not yet been transmitted to Europe.
The Bayern Munich, meanwhile, remains unstoppable and did not fail this weekend in the Bundesliga, in which he did not mind going below the scoreboard to go back to Stuttgart and defeat him 1-3. Being classified as first of the group, it will be necessary to see if Hans Dieter-Flick makes some swap and gives minutes to less common players, since they also have several confirmed casualties, such as those of Neuer in the goal, that of Lewandowski up front, those of Tolisso, Goretzka or Marc Roca (by penalty) in the center of the field, or Lucas Hernandez (on the left side). To all this must be added the long-term injury of Joshua Kimmich.
Despite being first in the group, mathematically, for the Germans it will not be a friendly match, as they can achieve a record of up to 16 consecutive victories in the Champions League, between the last edition and the present.
