Diego Simeone has increased the intensity of Atlético Madrid's training sessions, demanding maximum concentration from the players ahead of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg against FC Barcelona.
After the La Liga defeat to Sevilla FC, the Madrid team has returned to full training, with the aim of improving tactical details before Tuesday's decisive challenge.
Atlético comes into this match with an advantage, having won the first leg 2-0 at Camp Nou, taking an important step towards the semi-finals.
Simeone had decided to spare some starters in the final match of the championship, with the aim of the team being as fresh as possible physically and mentally for the European challenge.
According to Marca reports, the Argentine coach has repeatedly insisted during training on a simple but sharp message: "Think fast", demanding immediate reaction and quick decision-making on the field.
Sources from the club emphasize that Simeone is working intensively with the team to increase mental speed and tactical coordination, considering this as the key to success against Barcelona.
As for the lineup, the main dilemma remains in goal. Jan Oblak's physical condition will determine whether he will be a starter. Meanwhile, Juan Musso is recovering and working in the gym, while the final decision is expected to be made in the last moments before the match. /GazetaExpress/
