A squad selection shaped by injuries
Diego Simeone has revealed a squad list marked by key absences. Goalkeeper Jan Oblak, along with Johnny and Pablo Barrios, are still recovering and will not travel to Catalonia. Added to these confirmed absences is José María Giménez, who was left out of the squad due to physical discomfort that keeps him under medical observation.
Attacking firepower ready for the challenge
Despite the problems in defense, “Cholo” will have his full attacking strength available. Figures such as Antoine Griezmann, Julián Álvarez, and Alexander Sørloth lead a squad looking to pull off an upset away from home and take a positive result back for the return leg in Madrid.
