Angel Correa started the match for Atletico Madrid while Rodrigo De Paul was on the bench in their 1-1 draw vs. Manchester United.

Correa started for Atletico Madrid while Rodrigo De Paul remained on the bench. While Correa wasn’t able to score, the Argentine did speak to the media after the match. Here is what he had to say about his personal season:

“I’m happy on a personal level for continuing to grow and to help the team, I hope to continue improving in this way.”

Rodrigo De Paul was an unused substitute in the draw. He was not part of the team in their last league match against Osasuna and only played 65 minutes in the match prior to that against Levante.

The other match in the Champions League on Wednesday saw two Argentine players starting and one as a substitute. There was a clash of heads between Nicolás Otamendi and Lisandro Martínez, a match in which both players played the full 90 minutes. Nicolas Tagliafico was brought on as a substitute.

Nicolás Otamendi and Lisandro Martínez had a clash of heads as Benfica hosted Ajax in the Champions League.

With the final score ending 2-2 between both teams, the match on Wednesday could have ended much earlier than the 90 minutes for both Argentine players. A clash of heads between Otamendi and Martínez forced the match to stop.

Otamendi would end up wearing a swimming cap as both he and Martinez would continue the match. Both Otamendi and Martínez would finish the match with the most clearances out of all the players. Otamendi finished with five clearances and Martínez would finish with four clearances.

Nicolás Otamendi and Benfica will host Lisandro Martinez and Nicolas Tagliafico of Ajax in the Champions League.

One of Wednesday’s matches in the Champions League can see three Argentine players, all of which defenders, taking part in the match. Benfica host Ajax in their first leg and Otamendi has featured in five of the six matches in the Champions League this season, missing one due to suspension. In the league, the Argentine has started their last seven matches.

Lisandro Martinez has taken part in every Champions League match for Ajax this season. In the league, he has started their last five matches. Nicolas Tagliafico has only taken part in two of the six matches in the Champions League this season for Ajax as he played in their last two matches. Tagliafico did not take part in the last league match for Ajax.

Those three Argentine players will not be the only ones playing in the Champions League on Wednesday. The other match on Wednesday is Atletico Madrid hosting Manchester United in their first leg match. There are two Argentine players in Rodrigo De Paul and Ángel Correa with Diego Simeone as coach.
