Atlético B Stumbles in Marbella: A Setback in the Promotion Battle

Atlético de Madrid B suffered a defeat (2-0) against Marbella at the Banús Football Center, in a match where the reserve team failed to show their best, especially away from home. This result complicates their ‘play-off’ aspirations, although they still remain intact.

The team led by Fernando Torres conceded an early goal, courtesy of Edwards in the 4th minute, which made the match an uphill battle. Despite their efforts, Boñar’s chance in the 24th minute was practically the only dangerous opportunity for Atlético B in the first half, with Rayane trying without much success.

Torres sought to revitalize the team at halftime, introducing Selu Diallo for Javi Serrano, but a penalty converted by Dorian extended the lead for the Andalusians, dealing a blow to Atlético B. Despite trying to react, shots from Jano and Borja did not find the net.

With this adverse result, the reserve team is in sixth position, one point behind Mérida, which marks the ‘play-off’ zone. The equality in the table is maximum, and the team must react in the next match against Fuenlabrada at the Cerro del Espino in Majadahonda, where they will seek to make amends and regain ground in the fight for promotion. Aúpa Atleti!

Atlético Dominates with Aerial Prowess

What a great victory for Atlético de Madrid! The team demonstrated their power at the Metropolitano by defeating Rayo Vallecano 3-0 in a match that left us with very good feelings. The most outstanding thing, without a doubt, was the team’s ability to score with headers, something we haven’t seen so often lately.

Two of the goals were headers, a demonstration that aerial play is back! Alexander Sorloth opened the scoring with a great header after a cross from Giuliano, and then Conor Gallagher extended the lead with another header, this time from a pass by Rodrigo de Paul.

Julián sealed the victory with a great goal in the second half. It is important to highlight that these headed goals represent a significant percentage of those scored by Atlético in this way throughout the season.

Three of the team’s five headed goals bear the signature of Alexander Sorloth, which demonstrates his value in the rival area. Let’s remember his goal against Getafe in December and the one he scored in August against Villarreal. Every time Atlético scores a header, victory is assured and the clean sheet is kept! This triumph is a boost for the team and a sign that, with grit and determination, we can achieve great things! Come on, Atleti!

Atlético raises its voice: Stop the referee harassment!

Atlético de Madrid has expressed its firm stance against what it considers a pressure campaign exerted by Real Madrid and its entourage on referees, especially on the eve of the Copa del Rey final.

The Rojiblancos’ reaction comes after the press conference of the referees appointed for the match and the subsequent controversy generated by a statement from the White club criticizing the referees’ words.

Faced with the possibility, even, that Real Madrid was considering not playing the final, Atlético has raised its voice to defend the integrity of Spanish football.

With a forceful message on their social networks, the Rojiblancos club denounces the systematic harassment to which referees are subjected from the official Real Madrid channel, both before and after each match.

Atlético considers this situation “unbearable” and demands a ceasefire in the smear campaign that, in their opinion, damages the image of the sport. With this message, Atlético clearly positions itself against referee pressure, in defense of cleanliness and fairness in Spanish football. The club joins the growing concern about the influence that certain media exert on refereeing decisions and reaffirms its commitment to a clean and fair game for all teams.

Joan García to Atleti: Strategic Signing or Risk?

Atlético de Madrid has its sights set on Joan García, a young and promising Espanyol goalkeeper, as a possible reinforcement for the Rojiblancos’ goal.

Despite the fact that Jan Oblak, a fundamental pillar of the team, still has a valid contract, the Atleti board is considering securing the future between the posts with the signing of the 23-year-old goalkeeper.

There is even the option of leaving him on loan at Espanyol for another season, thus guaranteeing his development and adaptation to LaLiga. However, García’s possible arrival generates debate.

Miguel Ángel Moyà, former Atlético goalkeeper, has expressed his doubts about the advisability of this move if Oblak remains in the team. Moyà considers that it would be an unwise decision for both Atleti and Joan García himself, given Oblak’s status as an undisputed reference. However, the former goalkeeper sees Joan García as the ideal candidate to replace Oblak in the future: a Spanish goalkeeper, with experience in LaLiga and with characteristics that fit Simeone’s style of play. His potential is undeniable and he is expected to be seen soon in the National Team.

Hugo Sánchez: Aragonés' Legacy in my Success

The legendary Hugo Sánchez, considered one of the best Mexican footballers of all time, has highlighted the figure of Luis Aragonés as a key piece in his successful career in Spain.

During the presentation of a sculpture in his honor, ‘Golden Roots’, Sánchez recalled with affection and gratitude the advice of the ‘Wise Man of Hortaleza’ when he played for Atlético de Madrid. ‘Aragonés had a great influence on my career.

When I arrived at Atlético he told me: ‘Hugo, in this life you have to do great things, if you do them you will live forever’, and that marked me’, confessed ‘Hugol’. These words, according to the former striker, were an engine that drove him to pursue greatness and not give up until he achieved his goals.

Sánchez also recalled how Aragonés influenced his mentality, refusing to return to Mexico until he succeeded in European football. This determination, forged thanks to the coach’s advice, led him to become an idol both at Atlético de Madrid and Real Madrid.

The sculpture, created by the Italian artist Dante Mortet, is inspired by a photograph in which Sánchez, wearing the Atlético de Madrid shirt, takes a penalty. ‘I think it was a match, which I painfully remember, it was against Real Madrid’, lamented Sánchez, who is an idol with Los Merengues.
