Saúl: Red and White Passion in Seville Territory

Atlético de Madrid’s return to the Sánchez Pizjuán is always special, especially when an idol like Saúl Ñíguez wears the Sevilla shirt. However, his present at the Andalusian club is not easy, and some gestures have not been well received by Sevilla fans.

Despite being Sevilla’s captain, Saúl’s performance has not met expectations, and certain actions have generated controversy. After Atlético’s elimination from the Champions League, a message of support on social media sparked criticism among Sevilla supporters.

More recently, after Sevilla’s defeat against Atlético, Saúl signed a red and white shirt at the Sánchez Pizjuán itself, an act that, although understandable, did not go unnoticed in a moment of tension. Deportively, Saúl has lost prominence in the team, relegated to the bench in recent matches.

In addition, there have been rumors about possible disagreements with the coach, like other team captains. His future at Sevilla is uncertain, especially considering that he is on loan from Atlético, with a contract until 2027.

In short, Saúl’s situation at Sevilla is complex, divided between his loyalty to Atlético and his commitment to the Andalusian club. One more chapter in the career of a player who has always proudly defended the red and white colors.

Scalvini: A Wall for Atleti's Future

Atlético de Madrid is looking to strengthen their defense for the upcoming summer market, and Giorgio Scalvini, Atalanta’s central defender, emerges as an attractive option.

The young Italian talent, born in 2003, has stood out in Serie A for his solidity, tactical intelligence, and ability to build play from the back, characteristics that have put him on the radar of major European clubs.

Scalvini, despite his young age, has become an undisputed starter in the Italian team, demonstrating a maturity unusual for his age. His profile perfectly matches Atlético’s signing policy, which seeks young talents with ambition and growth potential.

However, securing his services will not be an easy task. Atalanta, aware of the value of their jewel, has set a release price of no less than 40 million euros, seeking to retain a player considered key to the club’s present and future.

Scalvini is under contract until 2028. Atlético must move intelligently if they want to add this promising defender to their ranks and further consolidate their defense.

Barrios emulates Koke: Great Goal against Sevilla with a taste of the future

Atlético de Madrid secured an important 1-2 victory against Sevilla at the Sánchez Pizjuán, with a decisive goal from Pablo Barrios in added time. The homegrown player, with a powerful shot from the edge of the box, gave the three points to the Rojiblancos.

This goal, Barrios’ first in LaLiga, adds to those he had already scored in Copa del Rey and Champions League. The figure of Barrios, called to be the natural replacement for Koke in midfield, is becoming increasingly relevant.

The young 21-year-old player has gained prominence, while Koke, 33, has seen his playing time reduced this season. Curiously, both Koke and Barrios celebrated their first LaLiga goal with Atlético against the same opponent: Sevilla.

Koke’s goal came more than 14 years ago, in February 2011, at the Vicente Calderón. After the match against Sevilla, Koke praised Barrios: ‘I told him it was about time he scored a goal. No, I’m kidding. He’s having an extraordinary season.

Very happy for him and especially for the team,’ declared the captain, who returned to the team after recovering from an injury. The connection between both players and the promising future of Barrios excite the Atlético de Madrid fans.
