Hi Koura – Marca newspaper reported that Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone has decided to change the starting line-up before the next clash against Barcelona, which will be held next Saturday in La Liga.
According to the report, Connor Gallagher will be on the left side instead of Samuel Leno, who was present in the lineup in the last two games against Slovan Bratislava and Getafe.
This change reflects the coach's strategy to return to a more physical midfield, an approach that has seen great success for Atletico in its consecutive winning streak.
The decision confirms the desire of the Rojiblancos to counter the expected pressure from Barcelona with stability and tactical cohesion.
