Atlético: The Agonizing Goal, A Trademark

Atleti never stops fighting! The recent triumph against Sevilla at the Sánchez Pizjuán, sealed with a goal by Pablo Barrios in the 93rd minute, is yet another example of the team’s indomitable spirit.

This goal, added to Julián Alvarez’s, gave Atlético the victory and reaffirms a trend that is already a registered trademark of the club: that of not giving up until the last second.

Barrios joins a list of Rojiblancos players who have celebrated decisive goals in added time, a list that includes Koke, Correa, Julián Alvarez, Giménez, Sorloth, De Paul and Griezmann. Sorloth and Julián Alvarez are the ones who have seen the goal most often in stoppage time (four each).

In total, Atlético de Madrid has achieved the impressive figure of 16 goals in stoppage time, a statistic that places it as the absolute leader in the major European leagues. This persistence and unwavering faith allow the team to continue dreaming of fighting for LaLiga. This Atleti has a huge heart!

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.

Griezmann: Unwavering Confidence at the Metropolitano

The debate surrounding Antoine Griezmann has resurfaced after the match against Sevilla, but at the Metropolitano they maintain faith in their star. Despite recent numbers not being in his favor, with his last LaLiga goal on February 1st and only one goal in the last 13 matches (Copa del Rey against Barcelona), confidence in the Frenchman remains intact.

Griezmann has started in all recent matches, but his impact on the game has been limited. In the match against Sevilla, he was one of the players with the fewest interventions with the ball and did not stand out in the offensive statistics, except for attempted crosses.

Despite this slump, Cholo Simeone has publicly defended Griezmann, dispelling any doubts about his role in the team. Although there are rumors of possible interest from the United States, Griezmann has a contract until 2026 and his desire is to continue at Atlético.

The club will respect his decision, but acknowledge that his current performance does not facilitate the situation. Despite everything, at the Metropolitano they are confident that Griezmann will recover his best level in the remaining eight LaLiga matches and will once again be decisive for the team.

Julián Álvarez: From Revenge to Colchonero Ecstasy

Julián Álvarez, Atlético de Madrid’s forward, was key in the victory against Sevilla, scoring the equalizing goal from a penalty. This goal has a special taste for the Argentinian, who thus overcame the memory of the goal disallowed for a double touch in the Champions League against Real Madrid.

The victory at the Sánchez Pizjuán was celebrated with enthusiasm in the rojiblanco dressing room, demonstrating the unity and ambition of the group.

For Álvarez, the key was the team’s insistence: ‘It was a difficult pitch against a complicated rival, and starting losing is never easy, but now we tried all the time.’ The triumph allows Atlético to close the gap with their direct rivals in the fight for LaLiga, although the team maintains the philosophy of game by game, now focusing on the next match against Valladolid. ‘We continue with enthusiasm, we go game by game,’ Álvarez said, reflecting the competitive spirit and winning mentality that prevails in the Metropolitano.
