Correa: Champions for Redemption
Ángel Correa seeks redemption in the Champions League after the expulsion suffered in the match against Getafe. The red card, which will carry a heavy sanction in Liga and Copa, has generated discomfort in the club and among the fans, and the player has expressed his apologies.
The Champions League presents itself as the ideal scenario for the Argentine striker to demonstrate his worth and make up for his mistake. A great game against Real Madrid could be the first step to heal the wound.
Interestingly, this season in the Champions League, Correa has shown a goalscoring version never seen before. In his first nine seasons with Atlético, the ‘10’ played 69 games in the European competition, scoring only three goals.
However, in the current edition he has equaled that figure in just seven matches. Highlights include his double against Sparta Prague and, above all, his decisive goal in the victory against PSG, a goal of great prestige this season.
Although he is usually a resource in the second half, the match against Madrid at the Metropolitano presents an opportunity for Correa to demonstrate his worth and begin to reconcile with the fans. His performance in the Champions League, where he has broken his goal drought, invites optimism and belief in his ability to make amends and return to being a key player for the team.
