Koke: Undisputed Legend of Atleti
Koke is synonymous with Atlético de Madrid. His career, forged from the youth academy, has made him a symbol and a red and white legend. He has rejected millionaire offers from major clubs, including FC Barcelona, to defend the colors of Atleti, demonstrating an unwavering commitment.
He is the player who has worn the club’s shirt the most times, surpassing all others in a centenary history. It is incomprehensible and unfair to observe the criticism directed towards him on social media. In a world where loyalty is scarce, Koke embodies the values of Atlético.
Perhaps the familiarity of his face generates weariness in some, but his figure deserves respect and recognition. His detractors seem to forget the value of ‘One Club Man’, admiring figures like Gerrard or Totti in other teams, while questioning the ‘Colchonero’ captain. Koke, born in Vallecas, has earned the right to decide when to end his career, a moment that will undoubtedly move the Atlético world. His legacy is already indelible and his name will remain engraved in the club’s history.
