Defeated this Wednesday evening to everyone’s surprise during the 3rd day of the Champions League in front of their home crowd against Lille OSC with a score of 2 goals to 1, Atletico de Madrid is in difficulty at the start of the competition.
The Colchoneros have 3 points in 3 games and already have their backs against the wall. And that’s not all. The Madrid club will have to do without one of its executives during the next day of C1 on the lawn of the Parc des Princes to challenge Paris Saint-Germain.
During the match against Lille, defender José Maria Gimenez received a yellow card for protesting against the main referee, Marcos Guida.
Already booked against RB Leipzig and Benfica Lisbon during the first two days, the 29-year-old Uruguayan international will be suspended for the next match against Paris Saint-Germain on November 6.
A crucial and decisive match for both teams and whose loser could definitively say goodbye to the top 8, as well as direct qualification for the round of 16.
At this moment, Paris Saint-Germain is in 19th place in the rankings in this first phase of C1 and is virtually qualified for the round of 16, while Atletico de Madrid is in 27th position and therefore completely eliminated from the European Cup. The next few weeks are likely to be hectic and intense.
