Atlético vs Deportivo: Simeone wants to stretch five straight wins
Atlético start with five consecutive victories and can move to two points of the leader depending on how Barça-Madrid goes.
Atlético de Madrid, riding five consecutive wins, can keep the pressure on and even sleep just two points off the lead before Barça-Madrid if they pull off one more result, as MARCA reports. Diego Simeone’s approach is “¿El Barcelona? Siempre se puede competir”.
For Deportivo, Antonio Hidalgo sees the Metropolitano as the stage to bounce back after five league games without a win. “Todos los partidos son de una motivación grande… y tenemos mucha ilusión depositada en esta temporada,” he said ahead of the trip.
Injuries on both sides
The match is shaped by absences: Casadó, Bright and Aubameyang for Atlético; and the Cuti, Koke and Cardoso on the Deportivo side, with up to five players sidelined.
