Debate at the Metropolitano: Does Courtois Deserve His Plaque?

Atlético de Madrid fans are divided over the presence of Thibaut Courtois’ plaque on the ‘Walk of Centennial Players’ at the Metropolitano.

Despite playing 154 games as a Rojiblanco and winning two Zamora trophies during his loan spells from Chelsea between 2011 and 2014, his subsequent signing for Real Madrid and some controversial statements have generated controversy.

Enrique Cerezo defended the club’s attitude, appealing to the greatness of the Colchonero fans and recalling that Courtois should thank Atlético for the years he lived.

However, the goalkeeper’s statements after some derbies, added to his past with Real Madrid, have caused part of the Rojiblanca fans to request the removal of his plaque. Atlético de Madrid established the criterion of 100 official matches to have a presence on the Walk of Legends.

In 2022, the club established a protocol to remove plaques from players who make offensive statements against the club. While Courtois’ has been the most controversial, it is not the only one that has generated rejection.

Those of Hugo Sánchez, Kun Agüero and Griezmann also suffered vandalism at the time. The debate remains open among the fans, who value Courtois’ legacy as a Rojiblanco but do not forgive his subsequent career and his words against the club.

Giuliano Simeone: The Academy Jewel that Illuminates Atlético

Giuliano Simeone has established himself as one of the great revelations of Atlético de Madrid and European football. After standing out in his loan spells, the Argentinian youth player has broken into the first team with force, earning an undisputed place in the starting eleven and attracting the attention of the Argentinian national team.

His call-up for the matches against Uruguay and Brazil, where he will coincide with other Colchoneros such as De Paul, Correa and Nahuel Molina, is a clear reflection of his meteoric rise.

Despite the recent elimination in the Champions League and the defeat against Barcelona, which complicate the team’s aspirations in both tournaments, Giuliano’s figure has emerged as a beacon of hope. His imbalance, speed, strength and daring on the field make him a constant danger to rival defenses.

Giuliano stands out not only for his vertical play, but also for his ability to make crucial decisions in the last third of the field. His assists, seven in total, place him at the top of the team’s top assistants along with Griezmann, De Paul and Llorente.

His special connection with Julián Álvarez, whom he has assisted on four occasions, is a sign of his understanding and vision of the game. His tireless physical and mental display has made him untouchable in the coach’s scheme, adding already fifteen consecutive starts. Giuliano Simeone embodies the indomitable spirit of Atlético, demonstrating that the Rojiblanca academy continues to produce top-level talent.

Atleti: The Cup, Last Bullet to Redeem Themselves

After a difficult week, Atlético de Madrid clings to the Copa del Rey as a lifeline. Defeats against Madrid and Barcelona have been a severe blow, moving the team away from the fight for the Champions League and complicating their options in the League.

Despite the accumulated physical and mental fatigue, the team showed character and competed head-to-head against their rivals, dominating at times. Now, all Rojiblancos hopes are focused on the return of the Copa del Rey semifinals, where they will seek to turn the score around against Barcelona at the Metropolitano.

A victory would allow them to advance to the final and have the opportunity to take revenge on their two great rivals, especially if Madrid also manages to qualify. Atleti will seek to relive the feat of 2013, when they conquered the Cup against their eternal rival.

Simeone will take advantage of the international break to recover his players physically and mentally, thoroughly preparing for the crucial Cup match. The team has arguments to believe in the comeback: Julián’s goalscoring ability, Giuliano’s creativity, Barrios’ solidity, and De Paul’s good moment are reasons for optimism.

The key will be to recover the best version of key players like Griezmann and the prompt recovery of Koke. Despite the adversities, Atleti has a favorable calendar in the League and still aspires to climb positions in the standings. With the claw and fighting spirit that characterize the team, the Rojiblancos will not give up and will fight to the end to bring joy to their fans.

Peiró: An Unforgettable Legacy at Atlético and Málaga

Today we remember Joaquín Peiró, a legend of Atlético de Madrid and a key figure in the history of Málaga. Five years after his passing, his impact endures among both the Colchoneros and the Malaguistas.

As an Atlético player, Peiró, nicknamed ‘The Greyhound of Cuatro Caminos,’ formed the fearsome ‘infernal wing’ with Collar, conquering two consecutive Copas against Real Madrid and the 1962 Recopa.

His quality led him to play in the 1962 Chile and 1966 England World Cups, leaving his mark on the Spanish national team. After his successful stint in Italian football, Peiró proved his worth as a coach.

At Málaga, he built a vibrant team that achieved promotion to the First Division in the 1998-99 season and consolidated its position in the top flight. His charisma and ability to manage groups allowed him to get the most out of players like Darío Silva.

Despite not materializing, his interest in signing young talents such as Samuel Eto’o and Pedro Munitis demonstrates his vision for spotting talent. Although his time on the Rojiblanco bench was brief, his legacy as a player is unquestionable.

Peiró is still fondly remembered and admired by Atlético and Málaga fans. His name endures in the Metropolitano and in La Rosaleda, where the home bench bears his name as a tribute to his career. A true idol who left an indelible mark on the history of Spanish football.
