Azpilicueta: A Bitter Sweet Goal and an Eye on the Future
César Azpilicueta, Atlético de Madrid defender, was the key player in the match against Espanyol, a game that ended in a 1-1 draw. The Navarrese player’s goal, a spectacular volley into the top corner, sparked euphoria, although it was not enough to secure victory.
After the match, Azpilicueta shared his feelings on Movistar, describing his goal as unusual in his career, recalling that he had not scored since his debut with Osasuna almost two decades ago.
Despite his personal joy at debuting as a rojiblanco goalscorer, he acknowledged the bitter taste of the draw, especially at this crucial stage of the season where every point counts.
Aware of the importance of each match, Azpilicueta lamented that this bad run in LaLiga is complicating the achievement of the main objective. The player, with his experience and professionalism, is always available to the coach, ready to contribute his bit when the team needs it.
Despite the disappointment of not achieving the objectives, the defender remains hopeful and confident that the team can recover soon. Looking ahead to the next match, Azpilicueta expressed his desire to bring joy to the fans, offering a memorable night at the Metropolitano.
