Atalanta-Real Madrid, the probable formations

Atalanta-Real Madrid è the Tuesday big match of the sixth day of the Champions League. Kickoff at 9 p.m. at the Gewiss Stadium. The Nerazzurri, fifth in the standings, want to keep flying in Europe where they are still undefeated. On the other side, the Blancos, only 24th and coming off two defeats to Liverpool and Milan, are in desperate need of points.

Gasperini seems intent on confirming the light trident in attack with De Ketelaere still preferred over Retegui, paired with Lookman and Pasalic in the three-quarter. Midfield dike formed by De Roon and Ederson, Bellanova and Ruggeri on the flanks. In defense Kossounou in place of Hien, with Djimsiti stepping up in the center, between the posts Carnesecchi.

Ancelotti recovers Vinicius in attack, who will partner Mbappé behind Bellingham. Keys of the midfield entrusted to Tchouameni, with Modric and Valverde midwings. In defense there’è young Asencio next to Rudiger, between the posts Courtois.

Probable lineups

ATALANTA (3-4-1-2): Carnesecchi; Kossounou, Djimsiti, Kolasinac; Bellanova, De Roon, Ederson, Ruggeri; Pasalic; De Ketelaere, Lookman. All. Gasperini.

REAL MADRID (4-3-1-2): Courtois; Vazquez, Asencio, Rudiger, Fran Garcia; Modric, Tchouameni, Valverde; Bellingham, Mbappé, Vinicius. All. Ancelotti.

Bayer Leverkusen-Inter, the probable formations

Inter pays a visit to Bayer Leverkusen on the sixth day of the Champions League. Kickoff at 9 p.m. at the BayArena. The Nerazzurri go in the hunt for their fifth consecutive seal in Europe to stay in the wake of leading Liverpool. On the other side, the Rossoneri are looking for a victory that would mean hooking up in the standings right to Simone Inzaghi’s men.

Xabi Alonso recovers Shick in attack: the former Sampdoria and Roma man will play for a shirt with Tella to pair with Wirtz. In midfield there’è Xhaka in the box, assisted by Palacios and Andrich, on the outsides Frimpong and Grimaldo. Defense headed by Tah, between the posts Hradecky.

Inzaghi has to do without Dumfries, who is ill: in his place Darmian on the right lane, with Carlos Augusto, favored over Dimarco, on the opposite one. In midfield space for Frattesi and Zielinski, in attack there’è Taremi with Thuram. In defense De Vrij forced into overtime, in goal Sommer.

Probable lineups

BAYER LEVERKUSEN (3-5-2): Hradecky; Tapsoba, Tah, Hincapie; Frimpong, Palacios, Xhaka, Andrich, Grimaldo; Wirtz, Tella. Coach: Xabi Alonso.

INTER (3-5-2): Sommer; Bisseck, De Vrij, Bastoni; Darmian, Frattesi, Calhanoglu, Zielinski, Carlos Augusto; Thuram, Taremi. Coach: Inzaghi.
