The 11-time champion and ten-time winner of the Spanish Cup last season won another title that it could not keep in the current championship. In the La Liga tournament Diego Simeone’s wards recorded 18 wins and seven peaceful outcomes, which brought 61 points and fourth place in the standings. It is impossible not to note the third result in the league in terms of attack performance, which differed 59 times. After the victory over Espanyol (2:1), the Mattresses played a draw with Granada (0:0) and lost to Atletico (0:2) on the road. The team had a good run in the group stage in the Champions League, which brought a ticket to the playoffs of the main club trophy in Europe. At the first stage, the Indians knocked out Manchester United from the draw, after which the capital lost to Manchester City at the quarter-final stage. Jimenez, Hermoso, Mandava, Lemar and Joao Felix, who has a muscle injury, will not be able to play today.
More was expected from Troyes this season, but from the first rounds something went wrong. The team started unsuccessfully in the French Cup, where it was defeated already at the first stage, when it lost to Nancy from the second league. In the League1 tournament there are nine wins and draws on the account of Bruno Irles’ wards after 35 rounds, which brought 36 points and 14th place in the standings. After the defeat from “Nice” (0:1), “white-blue” beat “Lille” (3:0) in their field. Salmier, Rami, Balde, Gallon and Azamum, who has a knee injury, will not be able to play today.
