Atlético Madrid aims to equal their best ever winning streak without Correa and Lemar
Atlético Madrid bids farewell to 2024 with a smile and a desire to continue their winning streak, which now stands at 12 after defeating Barcelona at Montjuïc. If they beat Marbella in Málaga, they will equal their best ever winning streak of 13 consecutive victories, also with Cholo Simeone on the bench.
However, the coach does not want any relaxation in the return to competition and the Copa del Rey, where lower-ranked teams have put the team in trouble on several occasions. Simeone will not be able to count on Giménez, injured against Barça, and also did not have Lemar and Correa in the last session of the year.
The Frenchman trained in the gym due to a contusion, while Correa worked separately, but is expected to be in good condition for the cup match. One of the big news in the third session of the return to training after the Christmas break is the continuity of Le Normand without the need for a helmet when heading the ball. The Spanish international can regain his place in the starting lineup at the Rosaleda with the absence of Giménez.
