The Argentinian manager has called 20 players for the Champions League match against Bayern. Fernando Torres, fully recovered, enters the squad list. The Brazilian and player of Atlético B, Caio Henrique, is also on the list.

Juanfran and Oblak were the players who addressed the media, assessing the work of the team and regretting not being able to defeat Espanyol.

Goalless tie thanks to the superb performances of both keepers. Oblak saved two finishes and Diego Lopez cleared four very dangerous red and white efforts.

Our stadium honoured the victims of last Thursday’s plane crash in Colombia on which our former player, Cléber Santana, also travelled.

After the thrashing in the King’s Cup against Guijuelo, the League returns with a match against Espanyol with the team’s goal being to win to continue the positive streak.

The Frenchman is in the short list of nominees together with Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. The winner will be known in the gala that will take place on the 9th of January.

The Brazilian left-back was medically cleared this Friday and has entered Simeone’s 19-player list. Torres, Cerci and Augusto, injured, and Moreira, due to a technical decision, are not on the list.

Miguel Ángel Moyá and Roberto Núñez were in charge of addressing the media in the mixed zone.

The Argentinian manager was very happy with the attitude and the work of all the players.

Two goals in the first half and four in the second one sentenced Guijuelo in a packed El Helmántico stadium with plenty of red and white fans in the first leg of the first knockout round of the King’s Cup.
