For this poster, Diego Simeone changes 2 men after the defeat at Leganes in La Liga (0-1). The Norman gives way to Gimenez in the hinge, and Gallagher is replaced by Llorente in midfield, aligned on the right side of the Madrid 4-4-2. Griezmann and Alvarez are partnered up front. On the Bayer side, we should see Tapsoba, Tah and Hincapié associated in the 3-man defense. Wirtz and Frimpong will be behind Tella, alone at the forefront.
