Atletico Madrid travel to San Siro this evening to take on Milan in their second group game of the 2021/22 Champions League. Questions have been asked of Diego Simeone’s side this season given their relatively slow start, so Los Rojiblancos will be keen to put in a strong performance to really get the ball rolling.

Simeone has opted for a 4-4-2 shape, starting Jan Oblak in goal behind a back four of Kieran Trippier, Felipe, Jose Maria Gimenez and Mario Hermoso. Koke and Geoffrey Kondogbia will sit in midfield, with Marcos Llorente to the right and Yannick Carrasco to the left. Angel Correa will play off Luis Suarez up front.
