Musso, the red and white wall in the Cup
Juan Musso is living a dream at Atlético de Madrid. The Argentinian goalkeeper, who arrived this summer, has established himself as the guardian of the Metropolitano in the Copa del Rey, a competition where he has demonstrated his worth and commitment.
Diego Pablo Simeone himself has confirmed that Musso will be the starter in the important first leg of the semi-finals against FC Barcelona, ratifying the trust placed in him throughout the tournament.
Musso has played every Cup match so far, adding five convincing victories: 0-2 against Vic, 1-3 against Cacereño, 0-1 against Marbella, a resounding 0-4 against Elche and a 5-0 thrashing against Getafe.
In these five matches, the goalkeeper has only conceded one goal, showing impressive defensive solidity. Now, he faces the challenge of keeping his goal clean against a Barcelona with great scoring ability. A task that, if achieved, would be a true feat.
His performance in the Cup has been fundamental for the team and has generated positive expectations about his future at the club. The possibility that Musso will continue at Atlético de Madrid, either through an extension of his loan or a definitive purchase, is becoming increasingly real thanks to his performance and the trust that Cholo Simeone has placed in him.
