Llorente: The Rojiblanco Hero at the Bernabéu
Marcos Llorente, the Atlético de Madrid player, has proven to be a hero for the team at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium. In his last visit to the stadium, Llorente was the protagonist of the match, scoring a goal in the 93rd minute to rescue a draw for Simeone’s team.
This goal was especially significant for Llorente, as he had spent part of his sports career at Real Madrid and had been treated as a traitor by the white fans when he left to play for Atlético de Madrid.
However, Llorente has found his place at Atlético and has proven to be a key player for the team, becoming an absolute international with Spain and playing in a World Cup.
Although this season has been somewhat anomalous for Llorente, who has seen his position in the team change with the reconstruction of the system, he remains an important player for Atlético, with 1,747 minutes played in 26 games and four goals scored. His goal at the Bernabéu was a moment of vindication for Llorente, who demonstrated that his decision to join Atlético de Madrid had been correct.
