La Liga 2025-2026: Girona-Atletico Madrid, the probable formations

Girona-Atletico Madrid is a match valid for the 18th day of La Liga. The two teams take the field at 2 p.m.: the hosts are third-last in the standings but are coming off a promising away win against Real Sociedad in the last round; Simeone’s team wants to consolidate its place in the Champions zone after its victory against Valencia last day.

Vanat is Girona’s central point, behind him are Tsygankov, Ounahi, Gil. It is up to them to reverse the fortunes of one of the least prolific attacks in La Liga, with only 15 goals scored so far.

Aletico with the Alvarez-Griezmann pairing in attack, on the flanks are Giuliano Simeone and Nico Gonzalez. In midfield, Barrios is paired with Koke. The full-backs will be Molina and Ruggeri.

GIRONA (4-2-3-1): Gazzaniga; Martinez, Reis, Blind, Moreno; Witsel, Martin; Tsygankov, Ounahi, Gil; Vanat.
ATLETICO MADRID (4-4-2): Oblak; Molina, Pubill, Hancko, Ruggeri; Simeone, Barrios, Koke, Nico Gonzalez; Alvarez, Griezmann.
