To try to sign the comeback, Cholo Simeone will go out to play at Stamford Bridge with one of the best possible eleven. Without a doubt, in the goal he will be Jan Oblak, to try to stop Londoners and give possibilities to theirs. Ahead of the Slovenian there will be a defensive line in which they will be Savic, Giménez and Hermoso. Kieran trippier will be in the right lane and Carrasco on the opposite. It is also possible that Renan Lodi will play for Mario Hermoso and Atlético will come out with four defenders.
In the core will be the captain Boil whoever tries to bring this stability and balance to the Cholo Simeone team at Stamford Bridge. Together with the ‘6’ colchonero he will act Saúl Ñíguez, footballer who always responds in Champions League matches. The center of the field will complete it Marcos Llorente placeholder image, who returns to England a year after being the hero at Anfield, now wanting to conquer London.
As more advanced men will appear Joao Félix and Luis Suárez. The Portuguese forward was confirmed by Cholo Simeone in the press conference prior to Chelsea-Atlético de Madrid, in which he also acknowledged that he expects the Uruguayan to break his jinx away from home in the Champions League in front of goal.
