Atleti Women: Chasing Champions League Spot from Alcalá

Atlético de Madrid Women face Valencia this Saturday in Alcalá de Henares with the aim of consolidating their valuable third place, the last one that grants a coveted spot for the next Champions League. The Colchoneras, with 42 points, are only one point ahead of Athletic, making each game a final.

A victory is crucial to maintain their privileged position. Víctor Martín’s team has an enviable streak of nine games without a defeat, the result of four wins and five draws. Despite this good moment, Atleti cannot afford to relax.

Valencia, in need of points to escape from the bottom of the standings, will be facing them. While they are not having their best season, the Valencians come to this match with morale boosted after achieving two consecutive victories in the last few games.

In the first leg, Atlético demonstrated their superiority by thrashing Valencia with a score of 0-4, thanks to goals from Ajibade (2), Gaby and Sheila. The Rojiblanca fans are confident that their team will repeat the feat and continue firmly on their path to the Champions League.

Atlético on the Rebound: Next Stop, Cornellà

After a tough emotional blow and two consecutive defeats, Atlético de Madrid faces a crucial moment in LaLiga. The team travels to Cornellà to face Espanyol in a match where only victory is worth it.

One more stumble could mean practically saying goodbye to the title fight, sitting seven points behind the lead. Simeone will have to fine-tune the strategy after the international break, which affected several key players.

Giuliano is expected to start, while other South Americans like Julián could wait for their opportunity on the bench. This opens the door for players like Gallagher and Sorloth, with Azpilicueta also adding options on the left side.

The confirmed absentees are Koke, still not recovered, and Correa, who is serving a suspension. Espanyol, a rival that is strong at home, has gone eight games without losing at their stadium, including a victory against Real Madrid.

With Joan García in goal, a goalkeeper closely followed by Atlético, the Pericos will try to make life difficult for the Rojiblancos. Atlético knows that this match is vital to keep their league hopes alive before hosting Barcelona. The challenge is clear: get back on the winning track and show that the team is ready to fight to the end.

Atlético de Madrid, always a fighter, has given us epic comebacks. A perfect example is the 2015-16 season, where Cholo Simeone’s team demonstrated its grit and ambition. On matchday 28, Atlético was 8 points behind Barcelona, a considerable distance that seemed insurmountable.

However, faith and hard work paid off. With a spectacular reaction, Atlético strung together important victories, driven by the talent of players like Antoine Griezmann and Fernando Torres. Matchday 31 was key, with a 5-1 thrashing of Betis at the Vicente Calderón.

Pressure increased on Barcelona, who stumbled on several occasions. On matchday 32, Atlético defeated Espanyol, while Barcelona was defeated by Real Sociedad.

The distance was reduced to just three points! The epic culminated on matchday 33: Atlético caught up with Barcelona in first place after beating Granada, while the Catalan team fell to Valencia. Both teams had 76 points, with Real Madrid lurking.

Although the title ultimately did not materialize, the demonstration of character and the ability to come back from behind by Atlético left an indelible mark on the memory of the fans.
