Cholo shakes up the lineup

Attention, Rojiblancos fans! Simeone is preparing a starting eleven that promises to have a striking effect in the next match, possibly against Barcelona. In the last training session, El Cholo surprised everyone by lining up Azpilicueta, Reinildo and Barrios as starters, leaving out Nahuel Molina, Javi Galán and Gallagher.

The possible starting eleven that is emerging is a statement of intent, seeking a perfect balance between defense and attack. With Musso in goal, the defense would be made up of Azpilicueta, Giménez, Lenglet and Reinildo.

In midfield, Barrios would take the reins alongside Marcos Llorente and De Paul, with Giuliano providing creativity and overflow. Up front, the lethal duo formed by Griezmann and Julián Alvarez will seek to pierce the rival’s goal.

The inclusion of Azpilicueta and Reinildo suggests a somewhat more cautious approach on the wings, prioritizing defensive solidity without giving up offensive projection. Barrios’ entry will bring freshness and dynamism to the midfield. The immovable Marcos Llorente, De Paul and Giuliano will provide consistency and talent in the creation zone, while Griezmann and Alvarez, with their goalscoring nose, will be the main threat in the rival area. An exciting and surprising match is coming! The Metropolitano eagerly awaits this new Atlético.

Relief at Atlético: Otermín suffers sprain, not tear

Good news for the Rojiblancos fans. After the initial concern about Rosa Otermín’s injury in the match against Valencia, medical tests have revealed that the player is suffering from a grade 2 sprain of the internal ligament in her right knee.

While the injury will keep her away from the field for a few weeks, the diagnosis is much more favorable than initially feared, after the bad gesture and the player’s tears when she was substituted in the 33rd minute.

The club has confirmed that Otermín is already receiving physiotherapy sessions and working on her physical readaptation. Although an exact time off has not been specified, it is estimated that she could be back in a period of a month and a half to two months.

The evolution of the injury will be key to determining her return to the competition. From the club and the fans, we send all our support to Rosa Otermín, wishing her a speedy and successful recovery. Her talent and dedication are essential for the team, and we are sure that she will come back even stronger to continue defending our colors at the Metropolitano. Come on, Rosa! We are with you.

Alvarez lights up Atlético's cup hope

Atlético de Madrid is playing for a place in the Copa del Rey final in a crucial second leg against Barcelona, and the Rojiblancos fans are placing their trust in Julián Alvarez. The Argentine striker, in his first season at the club, has become a fundamental pillar in Simeone’s scheme, proving to be a decisive player.

With 23 goals in 45 games (11 in La Liga, 7 in the Champions League and 5 in the Copa del Rey), Alvarez is the team’s top scorer and has provided 5 assists, establishing himself as one of the most important players alongside Oblak, Marcos Llorente, Barrios, De Paul and Griezmann.

Atlético and the Super Cup: A Ticket at Stake
