Atlético de Madrid's bench: a treasure trove of goals and quality minutes
Atlético de Madrid has found a treasure trove of goals and quality minutes in its bench. The team’s substitutes have scored 10 goals in La Liga and another 4 in the Champions League and Copa del Rey, making them the team with the most substitute goals in Europe’s top leagues.
Simeone is the coach who makes the most use of his reserves, who have accumulated a total of 2,156 minutes of play. The Cholo makes substitutions, on average, in the 64th minute, giving them 26 minutes of play.
The players who have scored from the bench are Correa (2 goals in La Liga, 3 in the Champions League), Sorloth (1 in La Liga), Julián (2 in La Liga, 2 in Copa del Rey), Koke (1 in La Liga) and Lenglet (1 in Copa del Rey). Simeone insists on the importance of all this and has had a talk with the non-starters to show them recognition and gratitude.
