Atletico Madrid vs Girona Preview
Atletico Madrid
Diego Simeone’s side have spent big over the summer, with the primary aim being to close the gap on Real Madrid at the top of the La Liga standings. However, Atletico will be looking to bounce back to form when they open their home campaign this weekend, as they could only play out a 2-2 draw in their first game of the season against Villarreal.
Simeone’s side fell behind on two occasions, before they rescued a point in stoppage time in the first half. Julian Alvarez was given a first taste of La Liga action from the bench, but the striker could be a likely starter this weekend.
Girona
Girona were one of the big surprise packages in Europe last term, as the minnows secured a place in the Champions League positions in La Liga. Emulating that feat will be a tall order for Michel and his side, but they will at least be looking to show that they were no one-season wonder when they travel to Madrid this weekend for their second away game of the new season.
Their excellent character was once again on display on matchday one, as Girona struck back late in the second half to take a point from Real Betis. Gabriel Misehouy netted their equalizing effort, and another solid defensive display will be required against Atletico this weekend.
