Atlético: A Rival with a Heart of Steel
The season presents challenges for Atlético de Madrid and its fans, following the Champions League elimination and the league setback against FC Barcelona at the Metropolitano. This difficult moment has not gone unnoticed among their rivals.
Szczęsny, goalkeeper of the blaugrana team, after experiencing firsthand the decline of Atlético in the final stretch of the match, acknowledged the colchonero’s effort. ‘We achieved this victory and we are happy, although I admit that I feel some pity for the rival,’ Szczęsny declared to Elevem Sports after the match.
The Polish goalkeeper pointed out the lack of strength of Atlético at the end of the match. ‘Football is brutal and it was noticeable that Atlético lacked strength at the end and in this sport you have to be brave to take advantage of opportunities,’ he added. Despite the adverse result, Atlético de Madrid remains a team that fights bravely in every match, seeking to reverse the situation and achieve its goals.
