Showing face at the Bernabéu! Atlético, with the Champions in mind
Atlético de Madrid faces a crucial week, having successfully overcome the challenges against Barcelona in the Cup and Athletic in the League. Now, Real Madrid in the Champions League and Getafe in the League test the solidity of Simeone’s team.
Although cautious, the Red and White optimism is palpable, especially after overtaking their eternal rival in the league standings. The main objective is to reach the return leg of the Champions League at the Metropolitano with options, aware of the importance of a good result at the Bernabéu.
Atlético’s strength lies in its defensive solidity and the great form of key players such as Julián Álvarez, without forgetting the valuable contribution of the substitutes.
Despite the absence of experienced players such as Koke and Azpilicueta, which do not significantly diminish the team, the Colchoneros squad relies on their collective game, where names such as De Paul, Julián Álvarez and Griezmann stand out.
Atlético knows how to compete and adapt to each match, staying alive in all three competitions. The key for Simeone is to maintain the intensity and the high pace, since a downturn against Real Madrid could be fatal. At the club, they are aware of the danger posed by the Madrid team, especially playing at home and in the Champions League. Atlético feels prepared to face this great challenge.
