Joao Felix, the $142 million 19-year-old, is among the roster announced by Diego Simeone for the match.

Felix scored 20 times with 11 assists in 40 matches for Benfica before moving to Atleti in the summer. Those numbers include a hat trick against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League quarterfinals first leg.
