The Atletico Madrid continued to prepare this Thursday for Sunday’s match against the Real society at the Reale Arena, the last of the season for the rojiblanco team, who will try to achieve a victory that will allow them to finish in third place in the standings.

The Brazilian would be accompanied in offensive work by a Antoine Griezmann who is still unable to pierce the opponent’s goal, but who has improved his performance in recent weeks. He returns the Gaul to what was his house for several years, and there he will try to break that bad streak.
In the center of the field they will continue Kondogbia (which this Thursday had specific work), Koke and DePaul. and next to them Yannick Carrasco. And in defense they will be Marcos Llorente and Reinildo as sides, with Gimenez and Savic in the center of the rear.
