Derby in Champions League: Atlético Seeks Victory

The Champions League is back, and with it, the Madrid derby! Atlético visits the Bernabéu with the firm intention of securing a positive result and defining the tie at home, in the Metropolitano.

Simeone, with the significant absences of Koke and Azpilicueta, has almost defined the starting eleven, opting for the 4-4-2 formation, which could transform into a 5-4-1 depending on the needs of the match. Oblak, a stalwart in goal, will be an undisputed starter.

In defense, the main doubt lies at right-back, with Llorente as the main option, although Nahuel could also have his opportunity. Giménez is a fixture in the center of defense, probably accompanied by Lenglet, who starts with an advantage over Le Normand.

Javi Galán will occupy the left-back position, earning the trust of Cholo. The midfield has three guaranteed names: Giuliano on the right and De Paul and Barrios in the double pivot.

The question mark is on the left wing, where Simeone is considering Samuel Lino, for his overflow, Gallagher, for his physical and tactical deployment, or even Llorente, which would open a gap for Nahuel at full-back.

In attack, the Julián Alvarez-Griezmann duo presents itself as the main offensive asset. Griezmann, bringing his experience and quality, and Alvarez, in great shape, excite the Atlético fans for this Euroderbi and the future. Sorloth and Correa await their opportunity on the bench, along with other important players such as Riquelme, Reinildo, Le Normand and Witsel.

Keys to Victory: Effort and Teamwork at Atlético

Atlético de Madrid, under Simeone’s guidance, stands out for its tireless spirit and collective dedication that makes it a formidable rival. In a footballing world where individual talent is valuable, the ‘Cholo’ has instilled the importance of the first defensive line, where forwards like Griezmann and Julián Álvarez sacrifice themselves for the common good.

This philosophy, although sometimes challenging for stars, has proven to be the key to success. Atlético is not necessarily the most talented team, but its ability to outrun its opponents is its greatest strength.

Simeone’s demand, which always asks his forwards to be the first defensive line of the team, is something that has given him problems with some of his stars, but in the end he has brought the donkey to the boundary. And that’s where it all begins.

This focus on collective effort is a lesson for other teams, even those with star-studded squads. No player, no matter how brilliant, can overshadow the strength of a united and committed team. Atlético de Madrid embodies this philosophy, proving that dedication and sacrifice are as important as talent.

Los Rojiblancos know that in every match they must run and fight as if it were their last, because glory is conquered with sweat and heart. An Atlético that prioritizes teamwork and constant effort is destined for great things. Atlético must continue on this path, prioritizing the collective and collective sacrifice.
