Diego Simeone comes full circle at San Siro with a meeting against the team he played for and Simona Inzaghi with whom he collaborated at Lazio. DiMarco and Darmian returned to the lineup of the European runner-up in the Champions Round of 16.
Albero Morata, who was injured, did return to the squad, but he is waiting on the bench. Marcus Llorente, who scored a brace as a striker in the last game, continued up front alongside Antoine Griezmann.
