Atlético de Madrid will face him when he returns from the international break in November. Diego Simeone’s side faces a series of crucial matches, with at least two matches a week.
The first of those games comes on Saturday when they host Lionel Messi’s Barcelona at the Wanda Metropoitano. The Argentine scored the winning goal the last time the rojiblancos were beaten at home almost a year ago.
Atlético will not be able to call Luis Suárez against his former club after the forward tested positive for coronavirus while on international service with Uruguay.
After Barcelona are out of the way, some attention will turn to the Champions League game against Bayern Munich scheduled for December 1. Depending on what happens against Lokomotiv Moscow last week, Simeone’s men could have already qualified for the round of 16.
However, facing the European champions will be a good way for El Cholo to gauge his team’s progress this season, considering they were beaten 4-0 at the Allianz Arena early in the group stage.
Then, on December 13, it is the first Madrid derby of the season. Atlético will face Real Madrid, reigning LaLiga Santander champions, at the Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium. Before that, he has to negotiate the league games against Valencia at Mestalla and Real Valladolid at home, as well as Saturday’s game against Barcelona.
Before the international break in November, Atlético had been inconsistent in the two competitions in which they participated. In LaLiga Santander he was excellent, beating Real Betis, Celta de Vigo, Osasuna and Cádiz, but in the Champions League it was difficult for him to beat RB Salzburg, he could not beat Lokomotiv and was beaten at Bayern.
