Getafe v Atletico: Preview and possible lineups
We take a look ahead to Saturday's La Liga fixture as Getafe CF hope to deny Atletico Madrid a guaranteed second-spot finish at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez.
Getafe:
The hosts are waiting on the fitness tests of defender Damien Suarez and defensive midfielder Mathieu Flamini. The pair remain doubtful ahead of the clash on Sunday.
Atletico:
As for the visitors, manager Diego Simeone may consider leaving out key members of the squad ahead of their Europa League final against Marseille next week. Juanfran will almost certainly be omitted due to a hamstring injury but it remains to be seen whether the likes of Antoine Griezmann, Diego Godin and Diego Costa will feature in the starting lineup.
Getafe coach, Jose Bordalas:
"Atletico always compete at a great level, they are a difficult team for any rival. I think they are going to come out with everything. We are very happy and no matter what happens our season has been magnificent."
"It is our last home match and we want to leave a good image before a great team like Atletico. Atleti have a great personality and we will have to play boldly and daringly with the ball. We know that we are a small team but we are going to try to make a great match so that our fans can enjoy it."
Atletico coach, Diego Simeone:
"The reality is we have a very important match tomorrow. After tomorrow's match we'll start thinking about the final. We're going to face a tough team that defends well. They're well structured and know how to counterattack."
"Tomorrow we're going to have to play well and seize control of the match. He's a great coach and he's shown it through his career. Now, in the first division he's shown what he's made of."
"Without a doubt, this is the best Getafe since I've been coaching Atletico de Madrid. They're competitive, hard working, intense, aggressive and know how they need to play. Getafe's season has been huge."
