Atleti Dreams of the Cup

Atlético de Madrid is gambling its season on the Copa del Rey. With La Liga practically ruled out due to the distance with FC Barcelona, Cholo Simeone’s team focuses all its energy on the KO tournament, where it sees a real opportunity to lift a title.

The road to the final goes through overcoming FC Barcelona, ​​a rival in great shape. After two consecutive defeats in LaLiga and a considerable point disadvantage with the leader, Atleti is forced to concentrate on the Cup and the Club World Cup, although the Cup is presented as a more tangible option, since it is only two games away from glory, while the World Cup involves seven games.

The irregularity shown in the League, with only three victories in the last ten games, has distanced the team from the fight for the championship, allowing other competitors to approach in the standings.

The statements of the technical staff and the players reflect a mentality more focused on securing qualification for European competitions than on shortening distances with the leaders. Atlético has not played in a Copa del Rey final for more than a decade, specifically since 2013.

The second leg of the semi-final against FC Barcelona, ​​which will take place at the Metropolitano, is presented as a crucial battle, with the overall score tied. This confrontation marks the eighth occasion in which both teams meet in the Cup semi-finals, with precedents favorable to Atlético in the most recent duels.

Musso: Simeone's unwavering confidence

Atlético de Madrid is preparing to face a crucial challenge, and all eyes are on the goal. After the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final against FC Barcelona, where the team conceded four goals in a short period, a debate arose about who should occupy the goal: Juan Musso or Jan Oblak?.

However, Diego Pablo Simeone seems to have a clear decision. Despite the tough defeat at Montjuïc, the Colchoneros coach maintains a solid faith in Musso. Until that match, the Argentinian goalkeeper had been a wall, holding the title of ‘Zamora’ of the Copa del Rey thanks to his solid performances.

Before the thrashing, Musso had only conceded one goal in six matches, demonstrating his worth under the three sticks. The coaching staff’s confidence in Musso is based on concrete data. Saving the unfortunate match in Barcelona, the goalkeeper has offered an image of security and sobriety.

In addition, it is remembered that Oblak also conceded four goals in a similar span during a LaLiga match at the Metropolitano.

The Cholo’s decision sends a message of support and reinforces the team’s morale in the face of upcoming challenges.

'Cuti' Romero, next star reinforcement for Atleti?

Atlético de Madrid is already planning for next season and, among its priorities, is the reinforcement of the defense with a world champion: Cristian ‘Cuti’ Romero, Tottenham center-back.

Although the operation is not easy, the interest of the Colchoneros club is evident and the possible influence of Diego Simeone could be decisive, as it was in the signing of Julián Álvarez.

According to recent reports, the player and the Argentine coach have held conversations, which represents a significant advance for Atleti. However, the main obstacle lies in the high transfer price set by Tottenham, estimated at 80 million euros.

Despite this significant economic barrier, both Romero and his representative would be willing to facilitate the negotiation, which opens a door of hope for the Rojiblancos fans. With a contract until 2027 and a market value of 55 million euros, ‘Cuti’ Romero is emerging as an ambitious target for Atleti, who trusts in Simeone’s persuasive ability and the player’s willingness to finalize his arrival at the Metropolitano.
