Atlético Forces Unite Against UEFA

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

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?

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.

Lenglet: A Key Signing for Atlético?

Atlético de Madrid is seriously considering the possibility of acquiring Clement Lenglet on a permanent basis. The French central defender, on loan from Barcelona, has gained prominence in Simeone’s scheme, becoming an important player in the team.

His good performance, especially after Le Normand’s injury, has opened the doors to the starting eleven, where he has demonstrated his value. Lenglet, with 29 games played and 2 goals, provides a clean ball exit from the defense, a plus for Atlético’s game.

Despite some isolated errors, his overall performance has convinced Cholo, who values ​​his commitment and professionalism. The Rojiblanco club faces a summer of important decisions, with the Club World Cup on the horizon. Lenglet’s continuity is a priority.

Barcelona, ​​for its part, needs to release the player, which could facilitate the negotiation. However, Lenglet’s good performance at Atlético has revalued his card, which could complicate negotiations.

The next few weeks will be decisive in determining whether Atlético decides to make an economic effort to ensure the permanence of the French central defender. His starting position in recent games is a sign of the confidence that Simeone places in him and a clear message to the club’s board about his importance in the team.

Atleti Remembers the Intercontinental Feat: A Historic Milestone

Atlético de Madrid proudly celebrates the 50th anniversary of its Intercontinental Cup, a title that signified sweet revenge after the bitter end in Brussels. That goal by Schwarzenbeck in the last gasp of extra time, which equalized Luis’s formidable free-kick goal, left the team psychologically affected.

The defeat in the play-off match was a hard blow. This fact led to the dismissal of Juan Carlos Lorenzo, and the arrival of Luis Aragonés to the rojiblanco bench. With a firm hand, Luis imposed new rules, marking the beginning of an era.

The Intercontinental was presented as his first great test. Atleti accessed the tournament due to the resignation of Bayern, European champion. In an era where South American teams imposed a very physical game, some European champions declined to participate.

However, Atlético, with its large presence of Argentine players, was not intimidated. After falling 1-0 in Argentina against Independiente, the rojiblanco team came back in the Manzanares with goals from Irureta and Ayala, conquering the title.

The image of Adelardo lifting the Intercontinental, on Capón’s shoulders, is an unforgettable symbol in the athletic memory. The club does well to remember this moment, because collective memory is the essence of the institution.
