Koke turns 33 with his future at Atletico still uncertain
Koke, the captain and emblem of Atletico Madrid, turns 33 with his future still uncertain for the second consecutive season. Although he has lost his status as an undisputed starter, he remains a vital player for the team.
With 664 games with the rojiblanca, he is the fourth field player with the most minutes in the season (1,608), after Griezmann, Giménez and Julián Alvarez. Despite not being a starter in the big games, his role remains important and his quality of minutes is highlighted by Simeone himself. Barrios is the future and also the present, but the captain remains tireless.
