(EFE) Only Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Paris Saint Germain, Juventus and Nice are held invincible at home in the five major European leagues such as Atlético de Madrid, which appeals this Saturday to its strength in the Metropolitan against the Celta and the unknown of whether will return to ownership Iago Aspas, in the same competition for LaLiga.



The big doubt is in itself the celestial coach returns to the initial eleven the striker after he had no minute against Betis, after overcoming an injury. Everything indicates that the captain will start again as a substitute for his long inactivity and because next Friday the Celta will receive Osasuna in Balaídos.

The best place in the championship this course, with 30 points of 36 possible in its field, against the fourth worst visitor, with only five of 33, apart from the fact that the Galician team, twelfth in the table, has never won in the current stadium of the stadium of the Atlético, although it has scored twice. The last one was in 2021, with a 2-2. Three losses have followed him: 1-0, 4-1 and 2-0.

Atlético competes against concern. Winner of 19 of his last 22 games among all competitions since October 31, he has only defeated two of the last five. The three without triumph correspond to LaLiga: 1-0 in Leganés and 1-1 against Villarreal and Real Madrid. Five of twelve points, because Mallorca was imposed 2-0. Notice and pressure.

In the second position, a point behind the Real Madrid lead .

In front, Celta has only added five points away from Balaidos. His only victory occurred in early October in Las Palmas (0-1). Then he started two draws against Betis and Deportivo Alavés.

However, the epic triumph against Betis last Saturday, to which he raised a 0-2 in the second part, has meant an injection of morals for the Vigo team, which faces his visit to Atlético without pressure, which he dominated in the Duel of the first round despite succumbing in the final stretch with a goal by Argentine Julián Álvarez.

“As you are wrong once, teams of this draft make you pay,” said Claudio Giráldez, who assumes that defeating the rojiblanco team is a “capital” challenge for the great moment so that her rival is going through.

Giráldez recovers two of its pillars, the Swedish central Carl Starfelt and the midfielder Ilaix Moriba, but loses the young Hugo Álvarez, which Sergio Carreira could replace on the left side, without ruling out the Serbian Ristic ahead of Marcos Alonso.

Atlético de Madrid: Oblak; Llorente, Le Normand, Giménez, Galán; Giuliano, from Paul, Barrios, Lino; Griezmann and Julián Alvarez.
