Javi Galán and his 'pseudo derby' with Atlético de Madrid
Javi Galán, left-back for Atlético de Madrid, could have a special game today at the Príncipe Felipe against Cacereño. Born in Badajoz, Galán began his career with Flecha Negra and CD Badajoz before moving on to Huesca and Celta.
The Atlético de Madrid player could face a fierce rivalry in this match, as Extremadura has historically had a strong rivalry between its two provinces. Although the Cholo had planned to give opportunities to the less frequent players, Galán could be a starter in the left-back position, as he has been in recent games. The player has convinced the Cholo that he can stay and be important to the team, despite having been on the verge of leaving this summer. Now, he will have a warm welcome in his native Extremadura.
