Barrios Unleashes His Potential with Koke

Young academy player Pablo Barrios is shining brightly at Atlético de Madrid, especially after Koke’s return to the starting lineup. Barrios has demonstrated in recent matches that he has the ability to arrive in the box and make runs from the second line, contributing a goal and an assist in the last two games.

His connection with Koke in midfield allows him to play with greater freedom and approach the rival area more frequently, displaying his full offensive potential. Against Sevilla, he showed his great shot, something he had already displayed in the lower categories, scoring an important goal.

Against Valladolid, he was key in assisting Giuliano, contributing to the team’s victory. This season, Barrios has accumulated one goal and three assists, showing his growing influence on Atlético’s game.

Accustomed to playing as a pivot, Koke’s presence alongside him frees him from defensive responsibilities, allowing him to exploit his more creative and offensive side. His left-footed shot in the area against Valladolid, which almost ended in a goal, is a sign of what Barrios can contribute to the team. Despite his youth, he is already approaching 100 games with the red and white shirt, establishing himself as a key piece in Cholo’s scheme.

Álvarez emulates Luis García! Rojiblanco milestone after 31 years

How great is Atleti! Last league matchday left us with a historic moment. Julián Álvarez became the first Rojiblanco player in 31 years to score two penalties in the same La Liga match at the Metropolitano.

A record that had resisted since the 1993-94 season, when Luis García achieved the feat against Athletic at the Calderón. Álvarez, with his precision and composure, converted the two penalties awarded to Atlético against Real Valladolid, the first committed on Giuliano and the second on Marcos Llorente, unleashing euphoria among the fans.

This achievement breaks a drought since that match against Athletic. Since then, Atleti had up to four opportunities to repeat the feat, but luck was not on our side. We remember the 2009-10 season against Mallorca, with a penalty goal by Forlán after having missed another.

In 2013-14, against Valencia, Diego Costa also scored a penalty after having missed the first, and in that same season he repeated the story against Elche after Villa’s miss. The last occasion was in 2016-17 against Osasuna, where Carrasco and Thomas failed to materialize their shots. Congratulations, Julián, for this milestone! Let’s continue adding moments to the history of Atleti!

After the tough defeat against Barcelona, Atlético de Madrid’s women’s team seeks to recover and secure their place in the Champions League.

Lenglet: Highlights and Shadows at the Metropolitano

Clement Lenglet’s season at Atlético de Madrid has been a rollercoaster of emotions. The French center-back, who arrived with a low profile, earned a place in the starting eleven after Le Normand’s injury, providing clarity in the build-up play and contributing to the team’s spectacular performance.

His vision of the game and ability to initiate the attack were key to the winning streak that thrilled the Rojiblancos fans. However, his performance has been marred by a high number of penalties conceded, becoming the Atlético player who has committed the most this season.

This situation has raised doubts about his continuity in the team. Despite his overall good performance, these specific mistakes could influence the club’s decision to negotiate his permanent transfer with Barcelona, the club to which he currently belongs.

Initially, the idea was clear: to make an effort to keep Lenglet in the team beyond the Club World Cup. However, the recent penalties have opened a debate in the Metropolitano offices. Now, the coach must decide whether to bet on the reliability of other players in the squad. The next few games will be crucial in determining the future of the French center-back at Atlético.
