Atleti: World Cup Preparation and 'Judge' in the League
Atlético de Madrid, with their LaLiga objective achieved, face the last rounds of the championship as preparation for the Club World Cup. Simeone’s team will visit El Sadar to face Osasuna, in a match where Los Rojiblancos will seek to adjust details, refine their defense, and recover key players.
Beyond the collective aspect, the match presents individual challenges, such as Jan Oblak’s fight for the ‘Zamora Trophy’. Simeone could take advantage of these matches to test tactical variants and give minutes to players who need to get in shape.
Osasuna, for their part, are playing for the possibility of qualifying for the Conference League. The match marks Vicente Moreno’s penultimate match as coach, who hopes to say goodbye by achieving a European place for his team.
El Sadar is preparing for a full house in this crucial match. Atlético arrives at the match with the possible return of Julián Álvarez to the starting eleven, forming an attacking duo with an Alexander Sorloth in a state of grace after his recent four-goal haul.
Koke Resurrección could enjoy his second consecutive start. Atleti will look to extend their streak of six consecutive league wins at El Sadar, an unprecedented milestone in the history of the competition.
