Atletico Madrid predicted lineup and team news vs Arsenal

Atletico Madrid is set to face Arsenal in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final at the Emirates Stadium in London on Tuesday night.

Both teams failed to find a winning goal in the first leg and will now look to secure their spot in the final.

It has been 10 years since Atletico Madrid reached the UCL final in 2016, while Arsenal played their only UCL final back in 2006.

Atletico Madrid team news

Atletico arrives in London with several key players winning their race against time.

Julian Alvarez is in the 25-man squad and expected to lead the line despite suffering an ankle scare in the first leg.

He is joined by Giuliano Simeone, Alexander Sorloth, and Jose Maria Gimenez, all of whom have recovered from recent knocks to make the trip.

While the return of Jan Oblak in goal provides a massive boost after he was rested over the weekend, Diego Simeone will be without Pablo Barrios and Nico Gonzalez, who are both sidelined with thigh injuries.

Diego Simeone is expected to maintain a disciplined 4-4-2 shape, with Johnny Cardoso and Koke starting in midfield and Alvarez and starting up front in a bid to outscore their opponent.
