Atlético: Derby Mentality in Majadahonda

Atlético de Madrid doesn’t rest and is already preparing for the crucial Champions League match against Real Madrid. Under the rain and cold of Majadahonda, Simeone’s team trained with their minds set on the derby.

El Cholo knows there is no room for rest and the intensity is maximum in each training session. Koke and Azpilicueta, injured, did not train with the group. The Argentinian coach led a short session where the ball was the protagonist.

The players who started against Athletic did gym work, while the rest played matches in reduced spaces on the pitch. It is expected that in Monday’s training session, Simeone will begin to outline the starting eleven for the important clash against Real Madrid. The Rojiblanca fans trust in the meticulous preparation of the team to face this challenge with grit and determination, seeking a favorable result at the Metropolitano.

Euroderbi on the Horizon! Valverde in Doubt

Alarms are ringing at Real Madrid just days before the highly anticipated Madrid derby in the Champions League against our Atleti. The big question is the presence of Valverde, who is suffering from discomfort in his abductor and has not been able to train with the group.

His participation in the crucial first leg of the round of 16 is uncertain. The Merengue coaching staff will wait until the last moment to assess his physical condition and make a decision. Valverde’s possible absence represents a tough blow to Ancelotti’s scheme.

The Uruguayan is a key piece in the center of the field, providing balance, intensity and physical deployment. His absence would force the Italian coach to rethink his strategy and look for alternatives to replace his versatility, since he has also played on the right side.

If Valverde finally does not make it to the match, Ancelotti would be left without many options. Lucas Vázquez would be forced to play on the left side and in midfield, Brahim or Güler could have an opportunity alongside Tchouameni and Camavinga.

Asencio will return to the starting eleven to be a central defender alongside Rüdiger. Atleti, meanwhile, is closely watching the development of events. The uncertainty in the rival could play in our favor, although we know that a derby is always an intense and disputed battle. We trust our team to show their face and look for a positive result at the Metropolitano!

Atlético, an Indomitable Fortress

Atlético de Madrid continues to demonstrate its power at home, establishing itself as a formidable rival. In the last match at the Metropolitano, despite the opponent’s effort, the three posts allied with the Colchoneros to prevent defeat.

This result keeps alive Atlético’s positive streak at their stronghold, where they have been intractable. Although the rival arrived with the motivation to break their bad streak of 42 matches without winning in the fields of the big teams since 2011 (a 0-2 at the Calderón), Atlético did not allow it.

In general terms, Atlético’s numbers at home are impressive. The team has turned the Metropolitano into a fort, where the fans play a fundamental role in encouraging their own in each match. An example of this was the victory in the first leg of the Copa semi-finals last year at the Metropolitano.

With this winning mentality and the unconditional support of its fans, Atlético de Madrid looks to the future with optimism, seeking to continue reaping successes and bringing joy to its fans. The ambition is clear: to continue being a leading team and fight for the most important titles. Forza Atleti!

Atlético: Iron Defense and Golden Bench

Atlético de Madrid continues to demonstrate its solidity and ambition, building its triumphs on an unbreakable defense and a bench that provides decisive solutions. Against Athletic, the team once again kept a clean sheet, adding up to 13 games without conceding in La Liga, a figure only equaled by Juventus in Europe.

This defensive solidity is one of the hallmarks of the team. But it’s not just the defense that shines, the Rojiblanco bench has become a lethal weapon. Substitutes have scored 16 goals and provided 14 assists in La Liga, far surpassing other major European teams.

Players like Llorente and Julián prove that the B unit is fundamental for Cholo Simeone. Names like Sorloth and Correa stand out for their scoring ability coming off the bench, and Julián, a regular in the starting eleven, also knows how to contribute from the bench.

The Argentine coach celebrates this potential, recognizing the importance of having refreshing players who make a difference. Atlético continues to add up thanks to its balance between defense and attack. With six minimal victories in La Liga, the team demonstrates its ability to solve tight matches.

Julián’s effectiveness as a match opener is undeniable, leading the statistic of goals that break the initial tie. Atlético faces the decisive phase of the season with high morale and the certainty that its plans, like Hannibal’s, usually work out well.

Attention, Rojiblancos! The referee for the crucial first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Real Madrid is known. The chosen one is Frenchman Clément Turpin, a referee with experience in major European events.

He will be assisted by Jérôme Brisard in VAR, along with Willy Delajod as VAR assistant, Nicolas Danos and Benjamin Pages on the sidelines, and Mathieu Vernice as fourth official.

Turpin has already refereed Real Madrid on several occasions, including important victories such as the 2021-2022 Champions League final against Liverpool. But what really interests us is his record with our Atleti.

Turpin has refereed Atlético de Madrid in four Champions League matches, all in the group stage. We especially remember the victory in Porto (1-3) in the 2021-2022 season. In addition, he was present in the draw against Bayern Munich (1-1) at the Metropolitano in the 2020-2021 season.

He also led Simeone’s team in the 2017-2018 Europa League semi-final against Arsenal (1-1), a campaign that culminated in the conquest of the title. We trust that his appointment is a guarantee of impartiality and that our Atleti, with the unconditional support of the fans, will achieve a positive result in this important European clash.

Atlético de Madrid’s women’s team faces Madrid CFF in a crucial derby for their Champions League aspirations in the Liga F. After a shaky start to the season, with only two wins in the last nine games, the Colchoneras see this match as a golden opportunity to climb positions and regain confidence.

The match, which will be played at Fernando Torres, has a special meaning for Víctor Martín, who returns to his former bench. In the first leg, Atlético won with a resounding 4-0. Players like Gio Garbelini and Luany also face their former club, which adds an emotional touch to the match.
