Oblak: Atlético searches for lost regularity

Jan Oblak, goalkeeper of Atlético de Madrid, expressed his frustration after the last match, acknowledging the team’s difficulty in maintaining the necessary consistency in LaLiga. “We dropped two important points, a shame,” he lamented, underlining the irregularity that prevents them from competing for the title.

The goalkeeper emphasized that, although everyone wants to win, the lack of regularity is costing valuable points and allowing their rivals to get closer in the table. Despite the disappointment in LaLiga, Oblak looks optimistically at the next Copa match, seeing it as an opportunity to raise a title.

He acknowledged the difficulty of the clash against FC Barcelona, ​​recalling the recent league match where Atleti, after winning 2-0, ended up giving up the victory. “We must get together, do our best and try to get to the final, to fight, at least, for this title,” he said. Although he reached a personal milestone by becoming the third player with the most games in Atlético’s history, Oblak played down the achievement in a moment of adverse results: “Thanks, but when you don’t win, it doesn’t matter.” Regarding the penalty awarded to Espanyol, Oblak trusts the arbitration decision, pointing out that the clarity of the referee and the lack of VAR review suggest a clear foul. He concluded by recognizing Espanyol’s needs and lamenting the loss of points for his team.

Azpilicueta shines, bittersweet draw for Atleti

Atlético de Madrid drew against Espanyol in their return to LaLiga, a result that, barring a major surprise, distances them from the title fight. The match, played at the Metropolitano, left mixed feelings for the Colchoneros.

The Rojiblancos came out with ambition, seeking to dominate from the start. A great goal from Azpilicueta, with a spectacular volley from outside the area, put Atleti ahead. However, Espanyol reacted and Puado equalized the score from the penalty spot after a foul by Lenglet.

In the first half, Atlético showed superiority in the game, with an active Gallagher and a Sorloth who generated danger. However, Espanyol remained organized at the back, looking for opportunities on the counterattack.

After the break, the changes introduced by Cholo Simeone sought to revitalize the team, but Espanyol knew how to take advantage of their opportunity. Despite having players like De Paul and Griezmann, Atlético failed to maintain the lead and were overtaken by an Espanyol who made the most of their chances. The draw leaves a bitter taste in the mouth of the Colchoneros fans, who see their chances of fighting for LaLiga diminish. Now, all eyes are on the Copa del Rey, where Atleti will look to give their all to reach the final.

Worry at the Metropolitano! Le Normand Forced to Leave the Field

Alarms went off in the match against Espanyol when Le Normand had to be substituted after an accidental collision on the field. A game incident, a clash of heads with Roberto, forced the central defender to retire prematurely, just 25 minutes into the match.

The medical services of Atlético de Madrid, acting with the utmost caution, decided that the player should leave the field to undergo the relevant tests. The decision was made taking into account the traumatic brain injury with subdural hematoma that the player suffered at the beginning of the season, keeping him away from the fields for 67 days.

Remember that his recovery was a gradual process that required gym, ball exercises and the use of a rugby helmet to protect him. Although fortunately it was not more serious, the incident generated concern among the Colchoneros fans, who hope that the talented central defender will recover soon and can return to defend the red and white. José María Giménez entered the field in his place. From here, much encouragement to Le Normand and a speedy recovery!

Goalkeeping Duel and Reunions in Espanyol-Atleti

The clash between Espanyol and Atlético de Madrid promises to be one of the most attractive matches of the day, with a lot at stake for both teams. Beyond the points, the goalkeeping duel between Joan Garcia and Oblak adds a special ingredient.

In recent days, Atlético’s interest in the young Espanyol goalkeeper, Joan Garcia, whose performance has attracted attention, has resurfaced. Although there has been speculation about the possibility of a loan to Espanyol after his possible signing by Atleti, this option seems unlikely from the perspective of the Catalan club.

However, Joan Garcia’s performance against Atlético will be closely watched. On the other hand, Oblak, always under the microscope, will seek to reaffirm his solidity. Espanyol fans will remember with frustration Griezmann’s controversial goal in the past, but also the presence of Lino on the field, who, as a Valencia player, scored the goal that sealed Espanyol’s relegation to the Second Division in a match played in Mestalla. This match promises to be a clash full of emotions and reunions for both fan bases.

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.
