Atletico Madrid vs AC Milan - Combined XI | UEFA Champions League 2021-22

Attacking Midfielder: Antoine Griezmann (Atletico Madrid)

Can Antoine Griezmann make it two in two against AC Milan?

He has struggled to make a mark in his second Atletico Madrid stint following his return from Barcelona. However, Antoine Griezmann has gradually started to find his feet again.

He is their top scorer in Europe with three goals this season. All of them have come against AC Milan and Liverpool. That highlights his big-game pedigree that could be crucial in securing another big win for Atletico Madrid.

Striker: Luis Suarez (Atletico Madrid)

Luis Suarez tucked away a late penalty to down AC Milan in the two team's first meeting this season.

Luis Suarez has merely continued from where he left off in the 2020-21 campaign. He has contributed ten goals in 17 games across competitions this season.

He also scored the 97th-minute winner against AC Milan from the penalty spot in the two teams' first meeting of the season. Suarez will look to produce more heroics in front of his home fans.

Striker: Zlatan Ibrahimovic (AC Milan)

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has scored 33 goals in 56 games since returning to AC Milan in January 2020.

Few players in their 40s can claim to have as much of an impact on their sides like Zlatan Ibrahimovic is having at AC Milan. He has netted five times and assisted twice in seven Serie A games. Since his return to the club in January last year, Ibrahimovic has scored 33 goals in 56 games across competitions.

In Europe, though, Ibrahimovic is yet to open his account this season. The evergreen Swede will hope to get off the mark against Atletico Madrid at the Metropolitano to keep Milan's flailing last-16 hopes alive.
