Atlético Closes the Season in Montilivi with an Eye on the Future
Atlético de Madrid ends the season visiting Girona in Montilivi. A match, to be played on May 25, where both teams have little at stake. Simeone’s team, already with Champions League qualification secured, seeks to close the season with a victory, despite their irregular away performance.
Girona, on the other hand, will try to say goodbye to their fans with a triumph against a strong opponent. For this match, Simeone is expected to make rotations in the lineup, giving minutes to players who need playing time and dosing efforts ahead of the Club World Cup.
Antoine Griezmann is expected to return to the starting eleven, while other players will rest. The coach has insisted that the priority is the match against Girona and to line up the players who are in the best shape to achieve victory and close the season in the best possible way.
Names like Marcos Llorente and Koke sound like fixed starters, accompanied by other players who have had less participation in the starting eleven. In goal, Juan Musso could have his opportunity.
For their part, Girona, already saved from relegation, will seek a victory led by Cristhian Stuani, their top scorer in recent matches. This match marks the end of a bittersweet season for both teams. Atlético, although qualified for Champions League, has not managed to compete for the league title. The goal now is to face the future with optimism and prepare for the challenges to come, with their sights set on the Club World Cup.
