Griezmann: A New Chapter at Atlético?

2025-04-22 Marca

Antoine Griezmann’s season at Atlético de Madrid has been marked by ups and downs, far from the stellar level we are used to seeing. Despite being the outfield player with the most minutes, his recent appearance as a substitute against Las Palmas has raised questions about his future role in the team.

The Atlético coaching staff is considering giving him a new role, prioritizing quality over quantity of minutes, seeking to optimize his performance on the field. With one more year on his contract, everything indicates that this would be his last season as a ‘rojiblanco’.

The idea is to dose his participation, taking advantage of his undeniable quality and ability to decide matches in key moments. This strategy could allow him to be even more influential in the matches.

Against Rayo Vallecano, Griezmann could once again be a substitute, something unusual since his return to the club in the 2021-2022 season, except for very specific situations. Despite not having as much presence in the starting eleven, his importance remains crucial.

His experience and leadership can be fundamental in guiding the young talents that are emerging in the team. The coaching staff is confident that he can continue to be decisive in matches, even playing fewer minutes. Simeone’s possible bet on Julián Álvarez with Sorloth at the forefront, as seen against Las Palmas, could mean a new role for the French star.

Barrios: The Future of the Colchoneros is Here

2025-04-22 Marca

Pablo Barrios has established himself as one of the great news stories of Atlético de Madrid this season, solidifying himself in the midfield and demonstrating a special magnetism.

The youth player, who wears the ‘8’ on his back, a number once worn by Luis Aragonés, scored his first goal in LaLiga against Sevilla, giving the team the victory in the 93rd minute with a great individual play.

Interestingly, Koke also scored his first league goal against Sevilla and both players, after scoring, kissed the badge and sought the embrace of the captain. This coincidence reinforces the idea that Barrios is destined to be Koke’s successor, sharing the same dedication, passion and sense of belonging as the captain.

Both trained in the youth academy, they stand out for their tactical balance, defensive sacrifice and vision of the game, being key pieces for Simeone. Koke himself expressed his joy for Barrios’ goal and his great season.

Simeone also praised Barrios’ continuous growth and his important contribution to the team. Faced with Koke’s gradual departure from the starting eleven, Barrios emerges as his natural heir. His commitment, personality and talent ensure ambition, continuity and identity for Atlético’s future.

Cerci's Bitter Spell at Atlético: Confessions of an Unexpected Signing

2025-04-21 Marca

The memory of Alessio Cerci at Atlético de Madrid doesn’t exactly evoke moments of glory. The Italian’s signing in the summer of 2014, for a significant sum, generated great expectations that never materialized on the field.

In a recent interview, Cerci has revealed surprising details about his arrival at the Colchoneros club. According to his own words, he was not entirely convinced of joining Atlético.

His desire was to continue his career in Italy, but negotiations did not bear fruit, and he was forced to accept the offer from the Madrid team. ‘I left reluctantly,’ confessed Cerci, hinting at his frustration at not being able to stay in Italian football.

This statement sheds light on the difficulties he experienced during his time at Atlético, where he never fully adapted to the style of play and the club’s atmosphere. Cerci’s adaptation was complicated.

‘I was furious, persecuted,’ recalls the former player, referring to the pressure he felt at the time. His partner publicly expressed that ‘football counts,’ reflecting the widespread discomfort surrounding his situation in the team. Cerci’s experience at Atlético, marked by frustration and a lack of adaptation, was etched as one of the most resounding failures of the Simeone Era.

Omar Janneh: The jewel of the Colchoneros academy

2025-04-21 Marca

Omar Janneh, a young striker from Atlético de Madrid’s youth academy, has established himself as one of the club’s greatest promises. After a specific incident that led to his expulsion and sanction, Janneh demonstrated his maturity by acknowledging his mistake and publicly apologizing.

This episode, far from holding him back, spurred him to work even harder and earn the trust of Fernando Torres, becoming a key player in the Colchoneros’ reserve team. After overcoming the punishment, Janneh has shined brightly, scoring decisive goals in recent matches.

His starting position against direct rivals such as Intercity, Castilla and Alcoyano, and his outstanding performance in the reserve team derby, where he scored the equalizing goal, confirm his worth. In addition, he provoked the second goal against Alcoyano thanks to a powerful shot.

His progression has been meteoric. Starting the season in the youth team, where he excelled in the Youth League with six goals, his talent led him to ascend to the reserve team, surpassing more experienced teammates. His power, finishing ability and effectiveness in front of goal have made him a fundamental player for Atlético and a promise for the U19 National Team.
