Letacek and Atlético: Colchonera Passion in the Azulona Stands
The world of football always brings us unexpected moments. This time, the protagonist is Jiri Letacek, Getafe’s goalkeeper, who was caught at the Metropolitano wearing an Atlético de Madrid scarf.
The Czech goalkeeper, in a gesture that could be interpreted as a show of admiration or simply a casual act, was seen as just another fan in the rojiblancas stands. While this fact has generated some controversy among Getafe fans, we cannot deny that it demonstrates the passion that Atleti awakens, even in players from other teams.
Letacek, who arrived at Getafe from Baník Ostrava and has played several Copa del Rey matches, showed his human side and his taste for top-level football. Let us remember that Letacek was the starting goalkeeper in the Copa del Rey match where Atleti demonstrated its offensive power.
Despite that match, the Czech goalkeeper’s gesture reflects that football is much more than rivalries and that admiration for a team like Atlético de Madrid transcends colors. A curious anecdote that demonstrates the universal appeal of the rojiblanco club and the passion it generates among lovers of this sport.
