Madrid Derby: A Rojiblanca Opportunity
Atlético de Madrid’s women’s team faces Madrid CFF in a crucial derby for their Champions League aspirations in the Liga F. After a shaky start to the season, with only two wins in the last nine games, the Colchoneras see this match as a golden opportunity to climb positions and regain confidence.
The match, which will be played at Fernando Torres, has a special meaning for Víctor Martín, who returns to his former bench. In the first leg, Atlético won with a resounding 4-0. Players like Gio Garbelini and Luany also face their former club, which adds an emotional touch to the match.
Tatiana Pinto, recently named player of the month of February by the fans, is optimistic and confident that the league break has served to recharge energy and face this important derby with guarantees.
Atlético’s starting eleven could consist of Lola Gallardo in goal; Moraza, Xénia, Lauren Leal, Lloris and Otermín in defense; Gaby García, Boe Risa and Tatiana Pinto in midfield; and Sheila and Ajibade in attack. The Rojiblanca fans are confident that the team will show their claw and achieve a victory that will boost them back towards the top positions. A derby is always more than three points, and this one will be no exception.
