Diego Simeone's lineup against Leipzig will reveal key details about the club's choice for starting striker.
Atlético Madrid kicks off its 2024–25 Champions League journey with a challenging matchup against RB Leipzig.
Diego Simeone has brought in Robin Le Normand, Alexander Sørloth, and Julián Alvarez to strengthen the squad for a serious push in both domestic and European competitions. Despite a strong start in La Liga, with Atlético Madrid remaining unbeaten, Simeone has yet to settle on his starting striker.
In their five La Liga games so far, Sørloth has been selected three times while Alvarez has started twice. Both have struggled to maintain form, with just one goal each.
As Atlético Madrid prepares for their Champions League debut, Simeone faces a pivotal choice. Leipzig’s organized and resilient defense is unlikely to offer many chances, making it crucial for the starting striker to make an impact.
