Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone considering tactical switch ahead of Arsenal Europa League semi-final as poor form continues

Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone is considering a continuation of a recent tactical switch-up ahead of his side's Europa League semi-final clash with Arsenal.

The Argentine has seen his side go through a concerning period of form as the season reaches its climax, with just one victory in their last five matches.

Simeone shuffled his deck recently and opted to field a back-three defence as Atletico played out an underwhelming 0-0 stalemate with Real Betis in La Liga.
