Atletico Madrid visits PSV on the sixth day of the Champions League. Kickoff at 9 p.m. at the Philips Stadion in Eindhoven. Hosts galvanized by the bombastic success with Liverpool at Anfield, which allowed them to hook Tottenham and Bayer Leverkusen on eight points, in the middle of the play-off zone. Smiles are also on Atletico’s faces: the success at the deadline against Inter Milan relaunched the Colchoneros, now only one length away from the eighth place that is worth direct access to the round of 16.

Ivan Perisic, still struggling with the injury that has kept him out in recent weeks, remains in doubt. Bosz is therefore considering the use of Pepi as a possible replacement, who will act in the three-quarter with Man and Saibari behind Til, the only offensive reference.

Simeone ponders deploying Giuliano Simeone from the first minute, with Álvarez and Griezmann completing the trident. The Frenchman, however, is in a runoff with Sorloth for a starting shirt, making the internal competition alive in attack.

Probable lineups

PSV (4-2-3-1): Kovar; Dest, Schouten, Gasiorowski, Salah-Eddine; Mauro Junior, Veerman; Saibari, Pepi, Man; Til. Coach: Bosz.

Aletico Madrid (4-4-2): Oblak; Ruggeri, Hancko, Le Normand, Molina; Gonzalez, Koke, Barrios, Simeone; Alvarez, Griezmann. Coach: Simeone.
