Griezmann and Julián, the Colchoneros Duo to Resurge

2025-04-12 Diario As

Atlético de Madrid is preparing for its next match with high morale and renewed confidence. Simeone and Griezmann had a chat on the training ground, showing the coach’s total support for the French striker, who has started the last 13 matches despite recent criticism.

El Cholo is confident that Griezmann will redeem himself against Valladolid, forming a striking partnership with Julián. The starting lineup will feature important changes. Koke returns to the starting eleven after overcoming his injury, bringing experience and solidity to the midfield alongside Pablo Barrios.

This change allows Llorente to occupy the right-back position, returning Nahuel to the bench. Koke’s presence is crucial for the team’s balance and connection between the lines. The expected starting eleven would consist of Oblak in goal, defended by Llorente, Giménez, Lenglet and Galán.

In midfield, Giuliano, Barrios and Koke will lead the way, while Gallagher will accompany the attacking duo Julián-Griezmann in the creation of the offensive game. The team will seek victory with a balanced formation and a renewed attack, where the connection between Julián and Griezmann promises to be key to overcome the bottom team. Atlético faces the match with optimism and the firm intention of adding three important points.

The Metropolitano, an impregnable stronghold for Atlético

2025-04-12 Diario As

Atlético de Madrid has turned the Metropolitano into a fortress, especially against Real Valladolid. Los Rojiblancos have won all four matches played at their stadium against the Castilian team, keeping a clean sheet in all of them.

The last match, in January 2023, ended with a resounding 3-0 victory for Atlético, thanks to goals from Morata, Griezmann, and Hermoso in the first half. While Valladolid has achieved historic victories against Atlético, all of them took place at the old Calderón.

The last Pucela victory dates back to the 2008-09 season, with Mendilibar on the bench, where the team won 1-2. A previous victory dates back to the 1995-96 season, when Valladolid beat Atlético of the ‘double’ 0-2. However, at the Metropolitano, the story is different.

Atlético has demonstrated its superiority, keeping its goal untouched and adding important victories. Despite Valladolid’s efforts, the Rojiblancos stronghold has become an elusive scenario for visitors, where Atlético’s defensive solidity and offensive power have made the difference. Colchoneros fans are confident that this positive streak will continue, consolidating the Metropolitano as an impregnable bastion.

Galán: Resurgence on the left flank of Atleti

2025-04-12 Diario As

Javi Galán’s season at Atlético has been a real rollercoaster. After a difficult start, the extremeño full-back managed to carve out a place in Simeone’s plans, becoming an important player in the Rojiblanco scheme.

However, a match in the Champions League against Madrid marked a turning point, causing him to lose the place he had worked so hard to earn. After that match, the left lane of Atlético became a carousel of names, with Reinildo and even Azpilicueta occupying that position.

Despite this, Galán did not give up and continued working to regain the confidence of the Argentine coach. With the season reaching its final stretch, Atlético seeks to consolidate its position in the League and take advantage of any opportunity that arises.

In this context, Galán faces the challenge of becoming a fixture again at left-back. Simeone needs him and trusts his ability to close the wing and provide security to the team. His first big test will be against Valladolid, where he will seek to prove that he is ready to recover his best level.

His opportunity to consolidate is there, ahead of other players like Lino or Julián. The fans are confident that Galán can resurge and become a key piece in Cholo’s scheme for the remainder of the season.

2025-04-12 Diario As

Atlético de Madrid’s reserve team faces a crucial derby against Castilla, with both teams fighting to secure a spot in the promotion playoff to the Second Division. The match is presented as an all-or-nothing affair, especially for Castilla, who need to break their streak of draws to keep their aspirations alive.

With six consecutive draws, Los Blancos are in urgent need of a victory to avoid saying goodbye to the playoff. Atlético B, led by Fernando Torres, arrives at the match with a slight advantage in the standings, three points ahead of Castilla.

Torres could repeat the starting eleven that defeated Intercity in the previous matchday, relying on the talent of Rayane, a key player in the Colchonero scheme. Atleti B stands out for its defensive solidity, being one of the teams that concedes the fewest goals in the category, although it has room for improvement in the scoring aspect.

The key to the match will be effectiveness in front of goal. Castilla needs its top scorer, Gonzalo, to regain his scoring touch after several games without scoring. Raúl recovers Manuel Ángel, his captain, for this important match. Atleti B will seek to take advantage of its balance between defense and attack to take a step forward in its playoff aspirations.

Atlético Forces Unite Against UEFA

2025-04-11 Diario As

The Atlético family is united in defense of its interests. The International Union of Fan Clubs, in a gesture of unity and strength, has added three important rojiblancos groups – Señales de Humo, the rojiblanco Senate, and Los 50 – to undertake joint legal actions against UEFA.

The goal is clear: to defend Atleti against controversial decisions that, in their opinion, harm the club. The spark that ignited this initiative was the controversial play of the Julián Alvarez penalty in the match against Madrid.

The Union, from the first moment, raised its voice demanding explanations from UEFA. Now, with the support of Señales de Humo, the rojiblanco Senate, and Los 50, the fight intensifies. A marathon meeting sealed the agreement between the parties, who have decided to join forces and file a formal complaint.

Both the Union and Señales de Humo have presented expert reports that supposedly confirm the manipulation of the penalty images by UEFA. To carry out this legal battle, a working group composed of prestigious lawyers has been created, who will design the most appropriate legal strategy to file the complaint as soon as possible. The Atlético fans, more united than ever, hope that this joint action will clarify the facts and defend the rights of the club.

Cerezo: Confidence and Ambition at Atlético

2025-04-11 Diario As

Enrique Cerezo, president of Atlético de Madrid, has expressed his opinion on the controversial penalty play disallowed to Julián Alvarez in the Champions League round of 16 second leg match against Real Madrid.

During the presentation of the IX edition of the Vicente del Bosque Villa de Alalpardo Cadet Football Tournament, Cerezo expressed his incomprehension at the referee’s decision, arguing that there are no clear images to justify the annulment.

Cerezo was critical of VAR, pointing out that it is not fulfilling the objectives for which it was designed. Despite elimination from the Champions League and Copa, and with La Liga seemingly uphill, the Atlético president conveyed an optimistic and combative message.

“A few days ago they were writing us off, and now it turns out we’re back in it,” Cerezo declared, reaffirming the team’s ambition to fight for the league title. The president concluded with a motivating phrase, reflecting the fighting spirit that characterizes Atlético: “The harder it is, the easier for us.”

Atlético: Sorloth, Simeone's Surprise?

2025-04-11 Diario As

Atlético de Madrid is finalizing details for its next match, with Simeone fine-tuning the strategy in a waterlogged training session. The good news is the partial reincorporation of De Paul, who, although absent against Valladolid, is progressing in his recovery for future commitments.

El Cholo tested variants in the starting eleven, highlighting the inclusion of Sorloth in place of Griezmann during part of the training, hinting at the only doubt in the starting lineup.

Oblak is shaping up as the safe bet under the posts, backed by a defense made up of Marcos Llorente, Giménez, Lenglet, and Javi Galán. In midfield, Giuliano, Barrios, Koke, and Gallagher provide balance and creativity, while in attack, Julián Alvarez accompanies Griezmann or Sorloth, depending on Simeone’s final decision.

In addition to the already known absences of Lino and Correa, the absence of De Paul is added. Simeone has insisted on the importance of mobility and speed in the circulation of the ball, seeking to destabilize a rival who will predictably set up with a solid defense in the Metropolitano. The rojiblanco team faces the match with maximum respect towards Valladolid, aware of the need to add important points.
