Red and White Blood: Luca Villa Dreams of the Metropolitano
Atlético de Madrid’s youth academy continues to bear fruit, and now it’s Luca Villa, son of the legendary David Villa, who excites the fans. At just twelve years old, Luca already shines in the Alevín rojiblanco, demonstrating a talent inherited from his father, that striker who left an indelible mark on the club during the conquest of the League.
Luca, wearing the number ‘2’ and sporting flowing hair, doesn’t shy away from the cameras. During the Crevillent Cup, he made his goal clear: to be better than his father.
His prodigious left foot and his scoring instinct are reminiscent of the best, and he himself acknowledges having role models both at home and at the club, also admiring Fernando Torres. But beyond his skills, what really captivates the fans is his passion for Atlético.
In a recent interview, Luca confessed that his biggest dream is to debut at the Metropolitano, a desire he shares with thousands of young rojiblancos players. His enthusiasm is as great as that of Giuliano Simeone, another youth player with Atlético blood, when he saw his father triumph at the Calderón.
With heirs like Luca, Atlético’s future is assured. The colchonera youth academy continues to demonstrate that the rojiblanco feeling is transmitted from generation to generation.
