Giuliano Simeone: A Rising Talent

Great news for the Red and White family! Giuliano Simeone, Atlético de Madrid player, is nominated for the best U-23 player in LaLiga for the month of March. This recognition comes as the icing on the cake for a month of outstanding performances, where the young Argentinian has demonstrated his worth on the field.

Despite the team only achieving one victory in the three league matches played in March (against Athletic at the Metropolitano), Giuliano’s individual performance has not gone unnoticed. But the good news doesn’t end there.

Giuliano has a great chance of starting for the Argentinian national team in the match against Uruguay in Montevideo. This would be a dream come true for the player, who not long ago saw even the call-up for the Paris Olympic Games as a distant goal.

“He is a true reflection of his father,” declared Lionel Scaloni, the national team coach, highlighting the talent and determination of the young Simeone. The possible starting position in the match against Uruguay could come at the expense of De Paul, who arrived somewhat overloaded from Atlético de Madrid. Without a doubt, a golden moment for Giuliano, who continues to demonstrate his potential and keep the name of Atlético de Madrid high.

Atlético players take the international stage

Atlético conquers the world! Up to seven of our players are preparing to defend their national colors in key matches. The main focus will be on the South American classic between Uruguay and Argentina, where the passion of Atlético will overflow on the field.

In Uruguay, we expect Giménez, our leader and captain, to guide the Celeste with his characteristic determination. On the other side, up to four Colchoneros could be part of the Argentine starting eleven! De Paul and Julián Alvarez seem immovable in Scaloni’s scheme, while Molina and Giuliano fight for a place in the starting team.

Nahuel has proven his worth and ‘Cholito’ is making the most of every opportunity to earn a place, both at Atlético and with his national team. Ángel Correa, for his part, will await his opportunity from the bench, ready to contribute his talent when needed.

In addition, Álex Iturbe could play minutes with the Spanish Under-21 team in their match against the Czech Republic. The young Atlético talent will seek to demonstrate his quality and earn the coach’s trust to be a starter. We are sure that our players will leave their soul in every game, bringing the indomitable spirit of Atlético to every corner of the planet! Aúpa Atleti!

Colchonero Success on the International Stage

Our players shining with their national teams! A large group of Atlético de Madrid players have left their mark on recent international matches, proudly representing the red and white colors.

Robin Le Normand, the stalwart of the Spanish defense, was an undisputed starter in the exciting 2-2 draw against the Netherlands in the Nations League. Despite a tough tackle he suffered at the end of the match, he demonstrated his commitment and solidity in defense, bringing experience and leadership to the team.

We hope he recovers soon and comes back stronger. Jan Oblak, our impenetrable wall, also added another great game with Slovenia, managing to keep a clean sheet in the draw against Slovakia. His security in goal and feline reflexes are a guarantee for his national team and for our Atleti.

Reinildo Mandava, the tireless leader of Mozambique, captained his team to an important 3-1 victory over Uganda in the World Cup qualifier. With this win, Mozambique is consolidating its lead in its group, getting closer to the possibility of playing in the top football competition. Congratulations, Reinildo! From Atlético de Madrid, we celebrate the success of our players on the international stage and wish them all the best in their upcoming challenges. Aúpa Atleti!

Álvarez, Untamable Jewel: Atlético Shields its Star

Julián Álvarez has proven to be an exceptional player in his first season with Atlético de Madrid, establishing himself as one of the best forwards in the world. His 23 goals and 2 assists have captivated the fans and made him a sensation in Europe.

Faced with the growing interest from clubs like Liverpool, who were supposedly willing to offer 100 million euros, Atlético de Madrid has been adamant: there is no intention of negotiating for the Argentine forward.

Rumors from England suggested a possible redesign of Liverpool’s attack, with the potential departure of key players such as Mohamed Salah, Darwin Núñez, Luis Díaz, and Diogo Jota. In this context, Álvarez would have been considered a priority target.

In fact, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that the Argentine was already in the sights of the English club last summer, information corroborated by the player’s agent, Fernando Hidalgo.

However, Atlético de Madrid has categorically denied receiving any offer and has reaffirmed its position of not negotiating for Álvarez, referring to his release clause of 150 million euros. This firm decision by the Rojiblanco club demonstrates the confidence and importance they place on the young forward, who has become a fundamental pillar of the team and a key piece for the future of Atlético.

Colchoneros Fans Raise Their Voice to UEFA

Atlético de Madrid fans are not giving up in the face of what they consider an injustice in the Champions League. The International Union of Atlético de Madrid Supporters Clubs has appealed to Football Supporters Europe (FSE), a European organization that brings together fans from more than 50 countries, to file a formal complaint with UEFA.

The main reason is the controversial annulment of Julián Álvarez’s goal in the penalty shootout against Real Madrid, a match that meant Atleti’s elimination from the competition. The Atlético supporters clubs consider that the decision was not only unfair, but could constitute a serious violation of the rules.

The Union also criticizes UEFA for ratifying the decision based on a video presented belatedly, which has raised suspicions among fans. They feel that significant damage has been caused to the club’s image and prestige. But the protest is not limited to the specific play.

The Union of Supporters also denounces the conduct of some Real Madrid players, such as Antonio Rüdiger, Thibaut Courtois and Vinicius Junior, whom they accuse of offensive gestures and threats towards the Rojiblancos fans.

Images of these incidents are widely circulating in the media. In summary, the Atleti fans, through their supporters clubs, are seeking for UEFA to take action and clarify what happened, seeking compensation for the sporting, economic and social damage they consider to have suffered.
