Atletico Madrid are in fine form currently, and with things operating smoothly for a Diego Simeone side that looked short on options this time last year, now he has a ruthless competition for places. Not least in midfield.

Captain Koke Resurreccion remains essential to Los Colchoneros come what may, but the two positions beside him are subject to debate, even with an injury to Thomas Lemar. Those spots belonged to Marcos Llorente and Rodrigo de Paul last season, but the renaissance of Saul Niguez and the major strides forward taken by youngster Pablo Barrios mean that Simeone has a luxury of options at his disposal.
