Diego Simeone’s side is busy on two fronts as they chase Champions League glory and a possible league title. Atléti looked a bit shaky over the weekend, needing two second half goals to overcome Celta Vigo. Diego Costa sat out of the match serving a yellow card ban so he’ll be rested and ready for Milan.
Clarence Seedorf’s time withe Milan has been challenging as the Rossoneri remain stuck in the Serie A mid-table. Getting knocked out of the Coppa Italia didn’t help matter either but a comeback against Atléti would be a massive boost. Milan have lost their last two matches against Juventus and Udinese, failing to score a goal in either match.
