“Homage to ‘Cholo’ Simeone with victory for Atlético de Madrid”
Atlético de Madrid defeated Sevilla FC 6-1 in a match that paid tribute to coach Diego Simeone. Although Sevilla was not up to par, Atlético played a great game and showed their potential to challenge FC Barcelona for LaLiga.
Antoine Griezmann stood out, assisting Menphis Depay and scoring a stunning goal before embracing Simeone. Griezmann is considered one of the best players in Atlético’s history and his play is crucial for the team. He is also a role model for his teammates and has a contagious effect on the field.

“Simeone defends 1-0 as a beautiful result”
After Atlético de Madrid’s victory against Girona, Diego Pablo Simeone declared that “to strategists who like beautiful football, I have to say that 1-0 is also beautiful.” It is unclear if he was referring to his critics or coaches like Xavi Hernández, who has criticized his style of play in the past.
He also spoke about Atlético’s loaned player at Girona, Rodrigo Riquelme, and his growth in the rival team. Simeone suggested that Riquelme will return to Atlético next season, but it is unknown if he will have the same prominence in the team and if he will play in the same position.

“Riquelme and Arnau, two players to watch at Atlético de Madrid”
The match between Girona and Atlético de Madrid was not only important for the three points, but also because two players from the Catalan team could have a future in the Madrid club.
Rodrigo Riquelme, a homegrown player from Atlético and on loan this season, had a good performance and could be a free transfer for the 2023/24 season. On the other hand, Arnau Martínez, a 19-year-old right-back, is an option to compete with Molina in that position. Arnau showed his versatility and good level in the match against Atlético. Both players could be important for the future of the red and white team.

“Atleti continues their positive streak with beautiful play”
Atlético de Madrid achieved a great victory and played great football in their match against Valencia, maintaining their positive streak of 10 games without defeat. Antoine Griezmann is a perfect candidate to be chosen as the best player in LaLiga.
The team of Diego Pablo Simeone is playing a dizzying and first-touch football, drawing lines of pass from their own area to the opponent’s goal. Although they scored three goals, they had more football than goals, especially in the first half. If Memphis Depay had been more accurate in front of goal, Atlético would have gone into halftime with a 4-0 lead. The Metropolitano showed a united and dedicated fan base solely focused on supporting the team.

“Captains of Atlético Madrid in the Spanish National Team”
The presence of Atlético Madrid players in the Spanish National Team has been scarce, despite often demonstrating better form and merits than players from Real Madrid or Barcelona. Being named captain of the team is even more difficult for Atlético players. In the last 50 years, only a few Atlético players have led as captains of Spain, including Koke Resurrección, who has the second most international appearances with 70 so far, David Villa, who debuted as captain of La Roja in 2011, and Fernando Torres, who has a record with the team of 110 international matches.

“Simeone recovers players for the match against Betis”
Atlético de Madrid is preparing to face Real Betis in a direct duel for the Champions League spot. Diego Pablo Simeone has been able to count on some of his internationals, including Antoine Griezmann, who showed himself to be happy and a leader within the team.
Jan Oblak and Geoffrey Kondogbia also joined the squad, although Oblak trained in the gym. Menphis Depay, who returned injured after his match with the Netherlands and Gibraltar, is in the process of recovery and is practically ruled out for the match. The match will take place this Sunday at the Metropolitano at 9pm.

“Canales sanctioned and will not play against Atleti”
Sergio Canales, a player for Real Betis Balompié, will miss the next four games, including the match against Atlético de Madrid, due to a sanction imposed by the competition committee. The sanction is due to the words Canales spoke after the game against Valladolid, in which he was expelled by Mateu Lahoz.
The player questioned the impartiality of the referee, which was considered as an attack on the integrity of the arbitration collective. Although the club has filed an appeal with the Appeals Committee, Canales will not be able to play against Atleti this Sunday.

“Controversial referee for Atleti-Betis match”
The Technical Committee of Referees has appointed Juan Martínez Munuera to officiate the match between Atlético Madrid and Real Betis. This referee has a history of clashes with the red and whites, including a penalty not awarded to Griezmann in 2017 that led the player to call him “coward”.
On another occasion, Martínez Munuera awarded a penalty against Atlético that resulted in a defeat. In addition, in other seasons, the referee did not signal clear handballs inside the area and annulled a penalty in favor of Atlético. Mateu Lahoz will be in the VAR, adding more intrigue to the match.
