Inter Milan and Atlético de Madrid face each other this Tuesday in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League (9 p.m.). Here is all the essential information on this match.
This is one of the most exciting posters in this Champions League round of 16 table: Inter Milan and Atlético de Madrid challenge each other for a double confrontation which promises to be tough and contested. Finalist of the last edition, Inter was the scarecrow to avoid in the draw among the second group. Simone Inzaghi’s team is progressing quietly, but its tactical coherence, its high-level experience and its homogenous squad clearly make it one of the top seeds in the competition.
Opposite, Diego Simeone’s Colchoneros will play their luck bravely. Led by Antoine Griezmann who has returned to the top of his game, Atlético hopes to make a splash in its first round at San Siro. The 2018 world champion was also left to rest last Saturday against Las Palmas in order to prepare for this big meeting. The Mâconnais will have the opportunity to meet his accomplices from the France team since Benjamin Pavard and Marcus Thuram are expected. The stage is set.
The expected compositions
Inter Milan : Sommer – Pavard, Acerbi, Bastoni – Darmian, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco – Thuram, Martinez.
Atlético de Madrid: Oblak – Savic, Witsel, Hermoso – Llorente, Barrios, De Paul, Koke, Lino – Griezmann, Depay.
