Atleti Clings to League Dream
Atlético de Madrid faces Real Valladolid at the Metropolitano with the urgent need to add three points. After the victory against Sevilla, the Rojiblancos seek to extend their good streak and continue pressing in the fight for LaLiga.
With the championship entering its final stretch, the margin for error is minimal, and only a series of victories will allow Atleti to keep their aspirations alive. Simeone, who blindly trusts his players, will not be able to count on De Paul, Lino, or Correa for this crucial encounter.
However, the Argentine coach is clear about the starting eleven, with Llorente and Galán reinforcing the defense, Koke and Barrios leading the midfield, and Giuliano and Gallagher providing speed and imbalance on the wings.
The offensive duo will be made up of Griezmann and Julián Alvarez. Despite the Frenchman’s goal drought in LaLiga, Simeone maintains his faith in him, while the Argentine striker arrives in great form, consolidating himself as the team’s attacking reference.
The rival, a Valladolid in a delicate situation, will seek to surprise at the Metropolitano. However, Atlético, driven by their fans, will take the field with the conviction of adding a victory that allows them to continue dreaming of the league title. An intense and exciting match is expected, where Atleti must demonstrate their claw and ambition to get the three points.
