Water has flowed under the bridges since May 31 and the trauma of humiliation in the final of the
Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain (0-5). Inter Milan has been rebuilt, gradually, under the tutelage of a technician who arrived in relative anonymity last summer, Cristian Chivu. If the setback in the Milan derby, Sunday (0-1), cut the legs of the Interists, the Lombard club remains in a comfortable position on the European scene since it is one of the three teams which have achieved a flawless performance until then, with Bayern Munich and Arsenal.
It is therefore with a favorite costume that the finalist of the last edition travels to Spain to challenge Atlético de Madrid this Wednesday evening (kick-off at 9 p.m.). Sometimes more playful, but also more porous, Diego Simeone’s team is blowing hot and cold this season. The Colchoneros are stuck in the middle of the table (17th) halfway through this League phase. But Atlético has assets to put forward. If Antoine Griezmann has been playing the jokers lately, Julian Alvarez displays a sparkling level. The Atlético scorer will also find his compatriot and competitor in the Argentine selection, Lautaro Martinez.
The expected compositions
Atlético : Musso; Molina, Gimenez, Hancko, Ruggeri; Simeone, Barrios, Koke, Gonzalez; Sorloth, Alvarez.
Inter Milan : Sommer; Akanji, Bisseck, Bastoni; Augusto, Barella, Calhanoglu, Zielinski, Dimarco; Martinez, Thuram.
