Thank you, Angelito! Correa Says Goodbye as a Legend
The Metropolitano bowed down to Ángel Correa in his emotional farewell after ten seasons of total dedication to Atlético de Madrid.
The Argentinian, visibly moved and tearful, received the unconditional affection of the Rojiblancos fans after a match in which, true to his style, he scored a goal, the 88th with the Atleti shirt, equaling Mendonça as the seventeenth top scorer in the club’s history.
One more goal to the legend of a key player, especially remembered for that crucial goal that brought us closer to the League title in Valladolid. Correa, who arrived in 2014 and overcame a difficult personal situation, has earned an indelible place in the hearts of the fans.
His 465 matches with Atlético place him as the sixth player with the most appearances in the club’s history, only surpassed by legends such as Koke, Adelardo, Oblak, Tomás and Collar. An enviable record with a Europa League, a European Super Cup and the longed-for League.
Although his departure is definitive, Angelito still dreams of one last title: the Club World Cup. In a message on social media, Correa expressed his deep gratitude to the club, his teammates and the fans, assuring that he takes every applause and every moment in his heart. Thank you for everything, Angelito! You will always be one of us.
