Atlético Madrid

[Galning]

Simeone is right. We probably won't see their neighbours in this kind of situation.

 

[Alik]

If it were us, we'd complain too.

Except it's their own fault for going to extra time with PSV and then losing to a relegation side. Should rather look inwards, in that case instead of blaming playing a couple of hours early.

Cholo taking fire at the La Liga scheduling is good. Those super early games are detrimental to a team who finished played past midnight in the CL midweek. I don't mind if they schedule those noon games in La Liga but not after CL games which always start at around 10 pm local time. You have to leave the body clock the same for the week prior and the week after.

Will Godin miss the game against us in CL?
If we can avoid both Gimenez and Godin, the game suddenly looks a lot less difficult.

he is a doubt for the first leg. Gimenez has a grade two strain, so is also a heavy doubt!

even if they both make it, both Cbs just coming back from an injury to play at camp nou against MSN is not exactly the easiest situation for ATM.

OR maybe is a big conspiracy from Simeone to rest both from playing with their national team to be perfetlys in good shape against us

I read on twitter Lucas Fernandez and Saul are both Injured and are in doubt for the Betis and Barca matches.

 

[Topolino]

So they'd have no CBs nor the only player who's tried at CB this season? Holy crap.

 

[El Flaco]

* Godín has returned to training despite being separeted from the rest of the players.

* According to Mundo Deportivo, Savic is scheduled to start work again this weekend and could be in contention for our next match against Real Betis on April 2nd.

* Tiago was also back on the pitch at Atleti’s training and even working with the ball this week.

Marca Article on it.

Saul suffered an ankle sprain and Lucas suffered a vertebral fracture.

 

[Luftstalag14]

According to MARCA, Savic has received the medical green light and probably will play against Real Betis this weekend.

Lucas Hernandez's injury is not severe, the same with Saul, both are expected to play against us in the first leg.

 

[Messi983]

Well, still Savic-Lucas/Saul is not anywhere near close to Godin-Gimenez.

 

[ThwiX]

Godin will be ready, I'm afraid. Gimenez might make the return leg. Think Saul will miss the first leg too, actually. Still, Godin-Savic are not a bad duo, sadly.

Hi to all,

I´m new here on this forum. Long time Barca fan.
My opinion is we are Barca, THE BEST in the world for a decade now and we shouldn´t hope for any of the opponents´best players to be injured.

If we can´t beat their top squad we don´t deserve going through to the semis. Simple as that, isn´t it?
Honestly... I hate playing opponents who are misssing key players. Means no satisfaction to me when we win.

Welcome! And yes, I agree. Can't choose opponents or wish for injuries.

 

[Topolino]

Golden words. With ATM it's just that their defence, when in full force, is frustrating. Someone injured by their side might give a more enjoyable game to watch. But I agree, we should be able to cope with everything.
