Inter Milan is good Atletico Madrid superstar is injured, the Champions League or absentee, Inter Milan is still in the first place!
After a months-long break, the UEFA Champions League will enter the knockout stages in February, with Inter facing Atletico Madrid in the first leg, and a win over them would give Inter the upper hand and the possibility of knocking out Atletico Madrid in the round of sixteen.
Now, after almost nine days of major competition, Atletico Madrid has encountered bad news: their top scorer Alvaro Morata has been substituted due to a serious injury and is likely to miss the first round of the Champions League.
Atalanta lost 1-0 to Sevilla after 15 minutes thanks to Sergio Romero's goal, and Sevilla were out of the relegation zone. On the positive side, despite Atalanta's defeat, they remain fourth in the league.
The defeat was too much for Atalanta to bear, but it was Morata's serious injury that was the biggest loss. Alvaro Morata played well on the pitch and made a good impression with his run. Alvaro Morata came close to scoring after conceding a goal, but he was not offside.
Morata fell to the ground before half-time, and both men fell to the ground with their knees clutched. Due to the severity of Morata's injury, the medical team decided that he would not be able to participate in the event and was eventually carried off the field. During this period, Morata was very sad and cried for a while, knowing that such an injury could cause him to miss the league against Inter Milan.
For Alvaro Morata, he will miss the first round of the Champions League, almost a month away from his next game, which means his knee injury will be several weeks away. However, even if Morata recovers, his physical condition is difficult to guarantee.
Seeing Alvaro Morata's injury, Atalanta is anxious, as are Simeone Jr.'s two wingers, the Spanish striker has been doing quite well this season, scoring 19 goals in 33 appearances, is the best striker in the team, and if he fails to play in both Champions League games, it will be a huge blow for Atalanta.
There is no doubt that this is good for Inter. If Morata is not around, Atalanta will not be as attacking as strong, and if the focus can be on Griezmann, then Inter have a good chance of beating Atalanta in the semi-finals to progress to the last 16. Inter's league title this season can be described as smooth sailing, they won the Italian Super Cup, and then the Champions League, as long as they reach the round of 16, or win the championship, then after this season, Inzaghi Jr. is likely to become a legend. When he was an athlete, he didn't achieve as much as his brother, but when he coached, he was so strong and the future for Inter was so bright!
