With five goals scored, João Félix is ​​the main figure of Atlético de Madrid, at a time when the match cannot be marked by the reunion of Luis Suárez with his former team. The Uruguayan international – who moved to Madrid last summer – tested positive for covid-19 during his national team’s commitments and therefore stayed away from the main duel of this Spanish round. In Ronald Koeman’s class, the big absentee is young Ansu Fati, who will be out of court for the next four months after a knee injury. Messi’s team and the Portuguese Trincão register three victories, two draws and two defeats.
