For the second time in his coaching career, Diego Simeone is hosted tonight (Tuesday) at the San Siro by Inter, the team he played for two years.
Somewhere in 2011 he lost 3:1 as the coach of Catania, and tonight with Atlético Madrid in the first match of the round of 16 of the Champions League he is already arriving as one of the most senior and proven coaches in Europe.
The picaresque does not end there for Cholo as the opposing coach, Simona Inzaghi, partnered with him in Lazio's heyday.
The two are now putting aside the nostalgic memories, and are fighting for a place among Europe's top eight.
Inter, the European runner-up as you remember, is racing for its first championship in three years and wants to demonstrate this ability in Europe as well.
Inzaghi made two changes compared to the 0:4 against Sean Weissman's Salernitana on Friday and both in the defensive positions - Matteo Darmian instead of Denzel Dumfries on the right side, Federico DiMarco at the expense of Carlos Augusto on the left.
On the other hand, Atlético Madrid comes after ending a streak of three games without a win in all competitions on Saturday with a 0:5 over Las Palmas.
Albero Morata, who was injured, did return to the squad, but he is waiting on the bench and Marcus Llorente, who scored a brace as a striker in the last game, continued up front alongside Antoine Griezmann.
Axel Witsel and Rodrigo de Paul also returned to the 11.
