Atlético: League Closure and a Look to the Future
Atlético de Madrid closed their league season with a match in Montilivi, a pause before facing new challenges, such as the Club World Cup in the United States. For Simeone’s team, this end of the League is a short break, while the future is already being planned.
The continuity of important players is being negotiated. Oblak continues to make history by achieving his sixth Zamora trophy. The match against Girona served as a farewell for several players who will not continue in the team.
Some loaned players such as Musso and Lenglet, Witsel and Azpilicueta who end their contract, Riquelme who will leave and De Paul who could also leave, in addition to Correa who said goodbye. Griezmann has expressed his desire to continue at the club.
After a season with ups and downs, Atlético finished on the podium, although the bronze left a bittersweet taste, especially after having been winter champion. The visit to Montilivi was presented as an opportunity to close the League with a victory, although Atlético’s balance in that stadium is not entirely favorable. Atlético is preparing for a summer of changes and adjustments, with an eye on the future and new goals.
