Atlético and the Super Cup: A Ticket at Stake

Attention, Rojiblancos! The fight for the Spanish Super Cup is red hot, and Atlético de Madrid has a lot to say. With the Copa del Rey in its final stage, the teams that, together with the top two in La Liga, will play the tournament in Saudi Arabia are being defined.

The good news? The regulations favor the Copa del Rey finalists, ensuring their presence in the Super Cup. Currently, the league standings place Atlético in a privileged position.

If one of the Copa del Rey finalists is also among the top two in La Liga, the Super Cup spot is deferred! This means that, if the current situation remains, the third-placed team in La Liga (our Atleti!) would have a guaranteed ticket to the tournament.

Therefore, the excitement is served. Every league match is crucial, but the Copa del Rey becomes a direct springboard to the Super Cup. Keep fighting, team! The Metropolitano must roar with every play to secure that coveted place. Forza Atleti!

Atlético and the Pending Challenge against Barcelona

Atlético de Madrid, under Simeone’s guidance, faces a new challenge: overcoming Barcelona in a two-legged tie in Spanish competitions. While El Cholo has already tasted victory against the Blaugrana in the Champions League, the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup have historically resisted.

Recently, Atleti broke a streak of almost two decades without winning at the Blaugrana stronghold, a milestone that injects morale and confidence into the team. In the past, Atlético has suffered painful defeats against Barcelona in the Copa del Rey, marked by controversy and bad luck.

Bitter memories of missed penalties, unfairly disallowed goals, and controversial refereeing decisions still linger in the fans’ memory. However, the story at the Metropolitano is different.

The stadium has become a European fortress, a place where Atlético’s fighting spirit and determination rise to their highest expression. Now, the Rojiblanco team has the opportunity to change the course of history and prove its worth against a demanding rival. With the unconditional support of their fans at the Metropolitano, Atlético will seek victory and passage to the next round, consolidating their project and reaffirming their ambition to conquer titles. Will this be the time the Metropolitano delivers a sentence in favor of Atleti also in the Cup?

Red and White April: Hope Away from Home

Being away from Madrid sometimes softens the blows. A draw away from home or hearing about a decisive penalty from across the pond, in Punta Cana, hurts less. Distance, in a way, protects.

The lost Champions League finals were experienced from Buenos Aires and Monte Carlo, places that, although they do not erase the sadness, make it more bearable. After a stormy March, where names like Jana, Konrad, and Marciniak shook Madrid, April presents itself as a crucial month.

The options for celebrating are reduced, but hope lies in a key match against Barcelona, near the Luis Aragonés Avenue, red and white territory. Winning this match, and the ones that remain to compete for the Cup, would be a balm for the fans.

The season has been a challenge, but the Atlético spirit remains intact. The fans are confident that the team, driven by the encouragement of their people, will give their best in this final stretch.

Singing “Motivos de un sentimiento” and “Partido a partido”, hymns of red and white faith, is the best way to face what is to come. Hopefully, April will bring joy and we will not have to regret what could have been. Good luck to all Atlético fans!

El Jebari Shines and Knocks on Atlético's Door

Salim El Jebari, a Moroccan international, is making the most of his loan to Cartagena. The 21-year-old winger, formed in the Rojiblancos’ youth academy, has shone brightly in his recent matches, scoring important goals and providing key assists.

His remarkable performance has not gone unnoticed in Madrid, where his progress is being closely followed. After a first half of the season with little participation in Atleti B, El Jebari found in Cartagena the opportunity to demonstrate his worth in the Second Division.

El Jebari is expected to return to Atlético de Madrid at the end of the season and join the pre-season to show his growth. The club will assess his performance and analyze future options, which could include a continuation in the reserve team if it achieves promotion to the Second Division, a new loan or even a definitive exit. For now, El Jebari focuses on continuing to work and showing that he is prepared for greater challenges. We are looking forward to seeing him shine with the red and white!

Surprise Lineup for Atleti's Showdown

Atlético de Madrid is preparing intensely for its next match, and Simeone is already shaping a starting eleven that promises to be noteworthy. During the training session in Majadahonda, the Cholo surprised with the inclusion of Nahuel Molina and Javi Galán.

These tactical movements suggest a commitment to freshness and intensity in the team’s game. In addition, Gallagher could be another novelty in the Argentine coach’s scheme, adding power and balance to the midfield.

The presence of players like Le Normand and Koke, fully recovered, adds even more options for the coach to put together a competitive lineup. Barrios, Azpilicueta, Reinildo and Lino would not be in the starting eleven.

The possible starting eleven rehearsed by Simeone would consist of Musso in goal; a defense with Nahuel Molina, Giménez, Lenglet and Javi Galán; in midfield, Marcos Llorente, De Paul, Gallagher and Giuliano, the latter in an unusual position as left inside midfielder; and in the attack, the duo formed by Julián Alvarez and Griezmann.

This tactical scheme reflects the coach’s confidence in his players’ ability to adapt to different roles and strategies. Fans eagerly await this new approach and are confident that the rojiblanco team will show their best version on the field.
