Ahead of the clash, Diego Simeone has spoken out on Ademola Lookman’s form.

So far Lookman has made 9 appearances this season in which he has scored one goal.

“Every player goes through different periods. Nobody maintains the same level all the time. Lookman isn’t at the level he wants or we want, but he works hard every day. He’s a dribbler, and he needs to lose the ball sometimes. Baena, after a difficult season, has confidence and self-belief, and we have to make the most of that,” said Simeone.
