Correa: An Athletic Legend Forged with Humility
Ángel Correa, a name etched in gold in the history of Atlético de Madrid, departs leaving an indelible legacy. After eleven seasons defending the red and white, the Argentine stands as the sixth player with the most appearances (465), surpassed only by legends like Collar, Tomás, Oblak, Adelardo, and Koke.
Correa has been much more than just a player; a game-changer, a talisman, another fan on the field. His 88 goals and 58 assists are only part of his contribution. He was a key piece in winning a League title, a Europa League, and a European Super Cup.
Two moments will be etched in the memory of the fans: his toe-poke goal in Valladolid that paved the way for the league title in the 20-21 season, and the last official goal scored at the Vicente Calderón.
Despite fierce competition with forwards of the stature of Griezmann, Fernando Torres, and Luis Suárez, Correa always found his place, contributing his grit and quality in crucial moments. His dedication and commitment made him an idol for the fans. With one more year of contract, the world champion with Argentina leaves with the affection of the fans and the recognition of having built an exemplary career at the Metropolitano. His story, forged with humility and passion, is already part of the legend of Atlético de Madrid.
