Atleti Women: Chasing Champions League Spot from Alcalá
Atlético de Madrid Women face Valencia this Saturday in Alcalá de Henares with the aim of consolidating their valuable third place, the last one that grants a coveted spot for the next Champions League. The Colchoneras, with 42 points, are only one point ahead of Athletic, making each game a final.
A victory is crucial to maintain their privileged position. Víctor Martín’s team has an enviable streak of nine games without a defeat, the result of four wins and five draws. Despite this good moment, Atleti cannot afford to relax.
Valencia, in need of points to escape from the bottom of the standings, will be facing them. While they are not having their best season, the Valencians come to this match with morale boosted after achieving two consecutive victories in the last few games.
In the first leg, Atlético demonstrated their superiority by thrashing Valencia with a score of 0-4, thanks to goals from Ajibade (2), Gaby and Sheila. The Rojiblanca fans are confident that their team will repeat the feat and continue firmly on their path to the Champions League.
