UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE | FC BARCELONA - ATLETICO DE MADRID POSSIBLE STARTING 11 TEAM LINE UPS

UEFA Champions League ( Round 3 ) Football returns tonight with two Spanish Football Clubs in action: FC Barcelona & Atletico de Madrid. As habitual with Spanish Sports daily "Sport", they provided a pre-match infograph of the teams & their speculated possible starting XI line-ups.


FC Barcelona travels to AC Milan for their Group H match. Barça tops the Group with 6 points & Milan is second with 4 points. Important match for both if they wish to consolidate their Group & open up distance over their rivals. The Italians are not having their best season & are the underdogs for this encounter, plus there is a cloud over the state of form with Mario Balotelli, although some think its being over exaggerated by Milan in a psychological pre-match tactic. 

The speculated FC Barcelona starting 11 team line-up is:

Valdes, Alves, Pique, Mascherano ( Puyol ), Adriano, Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Alexis, Messi & Neymar.



Spanish Football Club Atletico de Madrid travels to Vienna to play Austria Vienna in their Group G match. Atletico de Madrid currently tops the Group with 6 points while Austria Vienna is third with 1 point. For the home side a victory is extremely important to stay alive in the competition while Atletico could put a foot into the next stage of Champions League with  a victory.  The only doubt with Atletico is with its inform player Diego Costa who is suffering injury & is doubtful, although there is a slight chance he may make it. Just in case, Adrian is available to take the position.

The speculated Atletico de Madrid starting 11 team line-up is

Courtois, Juanfran, Miranda, Godin, Felipe Luis, Mario Suarez, Gabi, Koke, Arda Turan, Diego Costa ( Adrian ) & David Villa. 


In both cases, the teams are speculations & may easily suffer changes before the games. From here we wish luck to both Spanish Football Clubs tonight.
