It is an understatement to say that a meeting between Diego Simeone and Pep Guardiola is an opposition of style. The two tacticians, who meet on Wednesday April 13, have drastically different game philosophies. A contrast observed in the first leg with a very rigorous Atlético team in defense.
But the Colchoneros lock ended up jumping through Kevin De Bruyne, who allowed his team to win 1-0 and take a first step towards qualifying for the Champions League semi-finals. A goal that will push the Argentine coach to develop a more attacking scheme to hope for qualification.
The deal is simple for Antoine Griezmann and his teammates, they must win at home, not to be eliminated. A one-goal win would send them into overtime while a wider success would see them straight through. In the event of a draw or defeat, the Spaniards will say goodbye to any title hopes this season, eliminated from the Copa del Rey and too far in the league to hope for anything.
