Atletico Madrid’s Saul Niguez makes the cover of The National Sport on Friday, April 29, 2016 after the midfielder’s impressive performance and eye-grabbing goal in the midweek Uefa Champions League defeat of Bayern Munich.

Atletico fans are now demanding that their player, who scored the only goal of the first-leg semi-final at Vicente Calderon on Wednesday, be called up to the Spain national squad, with Euro 2016 fast approaching.

Meanwhile our columnist Diego Forlan, a former Atletico player, says Diego Simeone was very shrewd in his pre-match preparations for the game against the German champions.
