AC Milan (Probable XI): Tatarusanu, Calabria, Kjaer, Tomori, Hernandez, Tonali, Kessie, Saelemaekers, Diaz, Leao, Ibrahimovic.

Key Players and Matchups

The return of Antoine Griezmann to Atletico Madrid has revived the squad and his ability to link with Luis Suarez gives Diego Simeone’s side the attacking flair that they lacked in the past. In the UEFA Champions League 2021/22, Griezmann has been proficient for Atletico Madrid, and in the only match that he’s played so far, he’s scored 3 goals. This proficiency in front of the goal is something that Atletico Madrid will expect from him in the matchup against AC Milan as they go head-to-head on November 24, 2021.

Prediction

Given the head-to-head stats and the squad lineups that are expected from both sides, there is a high probability that the teams share the spoils and walk away with one point each.
