De Paul and Julián: Atlético's Formula for the Cup

2025-03-31 Marca

Atlético de Madrid is preparing for a crucial Copa del Rey clash, seeking to reach a final that has eluded them since 2013. To overcome FC Barcelona, the team is relying on the excellent form of two of its key figures: Rodrigo De Paul and Julián Álvarez.

After their outstanding performance with Argentina, both players have become fundamental pillars in Simeone’s scheme. De Paul has established himself as the undisputed leader of the midfield, overcoming the irregularity shown in previous seasons.

His vision of the game and distribution skills are vital for the team’s balance. For his part, Julián Álvarez has proven to be a wise investment, more than justifying his signing. His goal-scoring instinct and ability to finish in key moments make him a constant threat to opposing defenses.

While the individual talent of other players such as Griezmann, Sorloth, and Oblak is undeniable, the combination of De Paul’s leadership and Julián’s effectiveness is presented as Atlético’s main asset for this important match.

The team is confident that both world champions will be able to replicate their success with the Argentine national team and guide Atlético to the long-awaited final. A victory would allow the Rojiblancos to fight for a title that has been escaping them for years, with a squad that now has the best version of De Paul and a lethal ‘Spider’ in big games.
