The Metropolitano, Atlético's Goalscoring Talisman

Atlético de Madrid returns to the Metropolitano, a territory where goals seem guaranteed. The Rojiblancos face a crucial match, where securing mathematical qualification for the Champions League is the primary objective.

The Colchonero fans hope to repeat the recent performances at home, where the team has demonstrated remarkable striking power. The recent matches at the Metropolitano have been a goalscoring feast, with seven goals in the last two matches against Valladolid and Rayo Vallecano, demonstrating Simeone’s team’s offensive capacity when playing supported by their fans.

These numbers contrast with the team’s goalscoring performance away from home. In recent away matches, Atlético failed to penetrate the opponent’s goal, either due to a lack of aim or the absence of clarity in the offensive game.

However, this goal drought is not replicated at the Metropolitano, where the team is much more effective. With 34 goals scored at home, Atlético positions itself as one of the highest-scoring teams at home, surpassed only by Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Villarreal.

Furthermore, Atlético has demonstrated great defensive solidity at home, suffering only one defeat at the Metropolitano. Tomorrow, the Rojiblanca fans hope that the team maintains its goalscoring streak and its strength at home to secure the long-awaited qualification for the Champions League.

Atlético: Deep Renewal for a Bright Future

Atlético de Madrid is preparing for a deep renewal of its squad, seeking to consolidate a winning project around key figures.

After a previous summer market where the squad was already lightened with several departures and the arrival of important players like Julián Alvarez, the club faces a new transfer window with the aim of continuing that rejuvenation and further raising the competitive level of the team.

The Rojiblanca board prioritizes surrounding the ‘Spider’ with the best possible teammates to compete with the big teams. The departure operation will be crucial to finance the desired signings.

The club will seek market opportunities to strengthen the defense, midfield and attack, prioritizing players with projection and proven quality. The goal is to balance the squad and generate resources to face the new additions.

In this context of restructuring, only a core of players have their continuity assured. Other important players of the team, although they are in the plans, could be subject to study if interesting offers arrive. Atlético is open to listening to offers that allow strengthening the team and giving a new boost to the sports project. The board is confident that this renewal will be key for a future full of successes.

Atlético Seeks a Final Exit for Saúl

Atlético de Madrid is preparing to address Saúl’s situation for the upcoming season. Despite having a contract until 2026, the club has no intention of the player continuing to wear the red and white jersey.

Saúl, who was once a benchmark for the team, has seen his performance decline, relegating him to a secondary role. Difficulties in adapting to this new role have also hindered his continuity. The club is looking for a solution that avoids repeating the soap opera of previous summers.

One option is another loan, even assuming part of his salary, as already happened in Sevilla. Another alternative would be to give him a free release, although it would involve paying the remaining 15 million euros gross of his contract.

After his time in Sevilla, where he failed to stand out, Saúl’s future seems far from the Metropolitano. The board is working to find a destination that allows him to relaunch his career and, at the same time, free Atlético from a significant salary burden. A solution is sought that benefits both parties, putting an end to a cycle that, in its day, promised to be brilliant.

Atlético: Sorloth Leads the New Era

Atlético de Madrid is preparing to face a new stage, and Simeone already has the plan. In the latest training session, El Cholo rehearsed with a starting eleven in which Sorloth is emerging as the main reference in attack, supported by Giuliano and Lino on the wings.

The latter returns to the starting eleven after his outstanding performance. Simeone’s strategy seeks to enhance the performance of Sorloth, who has taken advantage of his opportunities and shown a great level in recent matches.

His performance has been key to the team, establishing him as a fundamental piece in the tactical scheme. In midfield, Koke is aiming to form alongside Barrios and De Paul, providing balance and solidity to the team.

Giménez, for his part, is aiming to complete the defense alongside Le Normand. In this way, the starting eleven would be composed of Oblak in goal, Llorente, Le Normand, Giménez and Galán in defense, Giuliano, De Paul, Barrios and Koke in midfield, and Lino and Sorloth in attack.

The team will seek to maintain its defensive solidity and maximize the offensive potential of its players to successfully face the next challenges. The Colchoneros fans trust in Simeone’s approach and in the team’s ability to continue competing at the highest level. With Sorloth leading the attack and a solid team in all lines, Atlético is preparing for a promising future.

Thuram: The Gem That Could Have Been a Colchonero

Atlético de Madrid was close to acquiring Marcus Thuram, the Inter striker who is dazzling in Europe and recently played in the Champions League final. The Rojiblanca management, led by Andrea Berta, showed strong interest in the French international during several transfer windows, especially during his time at Borussia Mönchengladbach.

In the winter market of 2023, Atlético seriously considered his signing, but no financial agreement was reached. The intention was to wait for his contract to end to incorporate him for free in the summer.

Even Antoine Griezmann, a key figure in the team, tried to convince Thuram to join the Colchonero project. However, Inter Milan stepped in and managed to sign Thuram, offering a signing bonus that exceeded 10 million euros, according to Italian media.

His outstanding performance in the Champions League has confirmed Inter’s success in incorporating him. Beyond his 18 goals this season, Thuram stands out for his tireless work on the field, his imposing aerial game and his overall quality. Characteristics that make him a valuable player and that could have shone with the Rojiblanca shirt at the Metropolitano.

Real Sociedad Fine-Tunes its Arsenal for the Duel at the Metropolitano

Attention, Rojiblancos! An exciting clash at the Metropolitano is on the horizon, and Real Sociedad is diligently preparing to put up a fight. News from San Sebastián indicates the possible recovery of two of their defenders, Igor Zubeldia and Álvaro Odriozola, who have been working hard to be back under Imanol Alguacil’s orders.

While Odriozola has been dealing with physical discomfort that has prevented him from having continuity this season, his return to the group is a positive sign. For his part, Zubeldia is back training with the team after being absent since early April.
