CM – Gabi
The captain is a real enforcer in the middle and will be looking to stifle Toni Kroos’ creativity.
CM – Tiago
A veteran midfielder and another who will have to be patient with Los Blancos expected to dominate possession.
RW- Arda Turan
Showed against FC Barcelona in the Copa del Rey that he has an angry streak and the capability to lose control, but Turan will still pose a significant attacking threat to the visitors.
CAM – Antoine Griezmann
Signed as a winger from Real Sociedad the France international has developed into a classy No.10 since the move.
LW – Koke
Recently played his 200th game for Atletico – an impressive feat for a 23-year-old – and is also a firm fixture in the Spain national team now as well.
ST – Mario Mandzukic
Fernando Torres has been in decent touch since his return to his boyhood club, but in this game we expect Simeone to stick with Mandzukic upfront.
