DEF
Reinildo
As key players have been injured this season, Reinildo has had to step up his game. He has fit well into a back-three under Simeone.
Tackles Won | Passes completed % | Interceptions |
9 | 80.9 | 15 |
Victor Laguardia
Laguardia has been part of a defence that has been leaking goals all season. He will look to restrict the Atletico attack.
Tackles Won | Goals | Interceptions |
16 | 2 | 35 |
MID
Yannick Carrasco
Carrasco has been a perennial threat from the left. His combination play with Felix could be too much to handle for Alaves.
Goals | Assists | Shots per game |
3 | 5 | 1.8 |
Luis Rioja
Rioja has been a consistent performer for Alaves but his impact has been limited in the second half of the season.
Goals | Assists | Passes Completed % |
