Atlético football players welcome PSV tomorrow in the fifth round of the Champions League.

Atletico secured a place in the round of XNUMX, which is a relief after the debacle against Real in the Primera derby.

Diego Simeone announced some changes in the team at the press conference...

"Jimenez will play tomorrow," said the Argentine.

Therefore, there will be at least one change in the defense, and according to everything, Stefan Savić will move to the bench.

"I have four top defenders and as a coach I have the opportunity to bring out players with different characteristics. It is up to me to find a solution that is best for the team at a given moment," said Simeone.

This season, Savić started 11 out of 12 matches in Primera, and three out of four matches in the Champions League.

Atlético's defense has been relatively porous lately - in four matches, the "colchoneros" have conceded as many as eight goals, and in the last four rounds of Primera, they have experienced three defeats.

"Goals are scored from collective or individual mistakes. Football is sometimes a complex game. What I am preoccupied with now is finding a solution to stop it and how to return to the winning path. That is my obligation, because for five years I want to win and that's what I'm paid for," said Simeone.
