The Metropolitano, an impregnable stronghold for Atlético
Atlético de Madrid has turned the Metropolitano into a fortress, especially against Real Valladolid. Los Rojiblancos have won all four matches played at their stadium against the Castilian team, keeping a clean sheet in all of them.
The last match, in January 2023, ended with a resounding 3-0 victory for Atlético, thanks to goals from Morata, Griezmann, and Hermoso in the first half. While Valladolid has achieved historic victories against Atlético, all of them took place at the old Calderón.
The last Pucela victory dates back to the 2008-09 season, with Mendilibar on the bench, where the team won 1-2. A previous victory dates back to the 1995-96 season, when Valladolid beat Atlético of the ‘double’ 0-2. However, at the Metropolitano, the story is different.
Atlético has demonstrated its superiority, keeping its goal untouched and adding important victories. Despite Valladolid’s efforts, the Rojiblancos stronghold has become an elusive scenario for visitors, where Atlético’s defensive solidity and offensive power have made the difference. Colchoneros fans are confident that this positive streak will continue, consolidating the Metropolitano as an impregnable bastion.
