Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone has prepared a strategy against Barcelona midfielder Lamine Yamal in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final.
According to Idman.Biz, citing Sport.es, Atletico players have been instructed to provoke the 18-year-old into receiving a yellow card.
A yellow card in the first leg at Spotify Camp Nou would be Yamal's fifth yellow card in the current tournament. According to UEFA rules, this would result in an automatic suspension for the return leg. Atletico's tactics include strong signals, early tactical fouls on the wing, and psychological pressure from experienced players.
The match will start today at 23:00 Baku time at the Camp Nou stadium in Barcelona. The teams have met four times in all competitions this season, with Barcelona winning three of them.
