“Pablo Pérez, the colchonero cannon with historic lineage”
Pablo Pérez Rico, left-back for Atlético de Madrid B, has proven to be a key player on the left side of the team. With his first goal with the red and white shirt, celebrated after controlling a pass from Mariano in motion and finishing with a good cross shot, he has shown that he is a player with great potential.
In addition, Pablo Pérez is related to Lorenzo Rico, the legendary former handball goalkeeper who defended Atlético’s nets between 1976 and 1987, giving him a historic colchonero lineage.
After his training in Sevilla’s youth academy, Pablo Pérez opted for the red and white offer and has been a starter in the 28 games in which Tevenet has used him, being the defender with the most minutes and the third player in the squad only surpassed by Gismera and goalkeeper Iturbe.
Pablo Pérez is in charge of stretching the team and is one of the best players of the season for Atleti B in Primera RFEF. Although his promotion to the first team is complicated by Simeone’s system, which has stopped using traditional full-backs, Pablo Pérez continues to make a name for himself and his great season has not gone unnoticed.

“Muriqi, the Atletico’s bogeyman in Son Moix”
Mallorca’s striker, Vedat Muriqi, has scored again after two and a half months without doing so. His last goal was against Cádiz and was key to adding a point in the fight for permanence.
In total, he has scored 6 goals this season, but his season has not been as good as the last one, in which he scored 15 goals and was very dominant in attack. However, this Saturday Atlético de Madrid arrives in Palma, one of his favorite teams.

The club plans to make four or five signings this summer, depending on economic possibilities and departures. Koke, Griezmann and Oblak are considered essential for their performance, charisma and winning character.
Other players such as Marcos Llorente, Samuel Lino and Giménez are also fundamental for the team. Qualifying for next season’s Champions League is the club’s top priority, which seeks to maintain its status and continue to have top-level players in its squad.

“Atlético without Griezmann
Griezmann is a key player for Atlético de Madrid, being the team’s top scorer and assist provider. His absence in the match against Mallorca is a setback, as the team has won 59.2% of games with him and only 40% without him.
However, statistics show that the team concedes more goals without the Frenchman on the pitch, but also scores more. Simeone knows that when Griezmann is in top form, he brings much more than just numbers. Correa will have the chance to prove his worth in the starting lineup.

“Pablo Barrios, a key piece in the renovation of Atlético de Madrid”
Pablo Barrios started the season as a pivot, a position that is not his natural one, but he played it successfully due to Koke’s injury. Atlético de Madrid trusted him and rejected the signing of Hojbjerg. However, two muscle and meniscus injuries forced Barrios to start over.
Despite this, Barrios remains a key piece in the renovation of Atlético de Madrid’s squad, which has had difficulties in consolidating in the fourth place of the League. With just 18 years old, Barrios has already played more than 50 games with Atlético’s first team.

In the Copa and Champions League, Atlético has had similar performances, with good results at home but disappointing away.

Atletico Madrid secured their third consecutive victory thanks to a controversial penalty scored by Ludmila, who has now scored her fourth goal of the season. The red and white team remains in European positions and continues to keep up with the Champions League pace.

“Summary of Mallorca’s match against Atlético
Mallorca couldn’t stand up to Atlético de Madrid in a match where they had no clear goal opportunities. Rajkovic didn’t have much work in goal, while Maffeo and Lato tried to attack from their respective sides, but couldn’t combine with the attacking players to create superiority situations.
Mascarell and Darder didn’t feel comfortable on the field and didn’t connect with the forwards. Muriqi was faithful to his work of intensity and struggle, but lacked the shot on goal. Larin entered for Abdón and was very dynamic, but couldn’t find the goal. In short, a match without gunpowder or spark for Mallorca.

“Atlético
Atlético de Madrid put in a great performance against Mallorca, a tough and rugged team. The team was solid and competitive, with a game plan very much in the style of Cholo Simeone. The early goal from Riquelme, a homegrown player, put the game in favor of Atlético from the start.

“Simeone has doubts in defense for the game against Celta”
Atlético Madrid trained on Saturday ahead of their league game against Celta. Argentine coach Diego Simeone has recovered two important players for the match: defender José María Giménez and forward Memphis Depay. However, Simeone has doubts in the starting lineup, especially on the right wing.
In training, Simeone tried César Azpilicueta as right-back, while Marcos Llorente played with the reserves. Giménez also trained with the reserves, while Stefan Savic, Axel Witsel and Mario Hermoso occupied the center of defense.
The most likely lineup to face Celta would be Oblak; Azpilicueta, Savic, Witsel, Hermoso, Riquelme; Barrios, Koke, Lino; Correa and Griezmann. Atlético will concentrate tonight before the match, which will be played in the afternoon at the Cívitas Metropolitano. A full house is expected at the stadium for Children’s Day.

“Atletico Madrid face Celta Vigo with Griezmann back”
Atletico Madrid will face Celta Vigo in the penultimate game of the season at the Metropolitano. Griezmann will return to the team after serving a yellow card suspension in Mallorca. Although the Frenchman has scored three goals in 16 games in the second half of the season, he remains a reference in the attack.
The team will be more reinforced defensively with the new 5-4-1 formation. The doubt of Cholo is on the right: to place Azpilicueta or Llorente. Giménez is out and his place will be taken by Savic.
The left wing with Riquelme and Lino and the continuity of Correa in the eleven are other ideas of the Argentine coach against Celta. The Atletico Madrid eleven could be formed by Oblak; Azpilicueta, Giménez or Savic, Witsel, Hermoso, Riquelme; Correa, Barrios, Koke, Lino; and Griezmann.

“Koke, the pillar of Atlético de Madrid”
Koke is a fundamental player for Atlético de Madrid, being one of the most used by Cholo Simeone. This season, he has played 45 consecutive games, being the fourth field player with the most minutes. His absence is felt in the team, as Simeone loses his compass and his rudder.
Koke is a player who sacrifices himself for the team and the shield, being the captain for five seasons. In his role 23-24, he has assumed the role of necessary anchor for Cholo’s team. Despite the departure of Kondogbia and the non-arrival of Hojbjerg, Koke continues to be the solution to all of Cholo’s problems. With numbers like those he has completed this season, Koke has earned the respect and admiration of his teammates and Atlético de Madrid fans.

“Atlético Madrid seeks tranquility against Celta”
Atlético Madrid could almost definitively embrace calm on their Children’s Day, turning off the noise of a season that could have been great but fell short. Being fourth, a position that Simeone has never occupied in all his years at Atleti on the bench, cannot yet be mathematically certain, but it is virtually palpable.
Giráldez arrives at the Metropolitano rubbing Iago Aspas’ back like a genie rubbing his lamp. Giráldez has achieved in Celta what Benítez could not: making them react, putting points between themselves and the positions that send them to the Second Division.
As always, Iago Aspas is his best argument: in the last two victories of Celta, he scored three goals and provided as many. Both with a comeback, by the way. Atleti has only scored two goals against him (in 18 games) and none as a visitor.
Giráldez, who was a youth player at Cerro and this is the first time he faces Atleti, recovers Tapia but loses Swedberg, Carles Pérez, and Ristic, all with discomfort during the week. It has been 17 years since Stoichkov coached Celta in 2007 that the Galicians have not beaten Atleti at their home.
The Metropolitano has been the most faithful image of a fortress this season: it has won 15 games out of 17 played in the League (only one defeat, against Barcelona). The first 15 minutes of the game could be key.
Those in which Celta is the team that has scored the least (two goals, like Rayo) and Atleti the most in the League (nine, like Girona and Sevilla). Griezmann returns to Atleti, after completing his yellow card cycle at Son Moix.
Griezmann is no longer the same as at the beginning of the season, when he scored 18 goals in 28 games (in all competitions) and broke the historic record of 173 in Atleti de Luis.
The sprain in the round of 16 against Inter makes him finish each game with a giant bag of ice around his joint, with fatigue palpable in his body like the heat of these spring days in Madrid. Three goals in the last 16 games. Although against Celta, he is usually a storm.
11 goals in 22 games. He returns to a more reinforced Atleti with his new drawing and with Correa: the Argentine has scored 11 goals this 23-24. Morata, dry, one goal in 17 games, will wait on the bench.

“Atlético Madrid returns to Champions League ‘unocerismo’”
Atlético Madrid has returned to the style that gave Simeone and Fernando Morales so much joy: ‘unocerismo’. With a 5-4-1 formation and Griezmann back, Cholo’s team started combining against a Celta team dedicated to defending themselves.
However, Atlético could not break the Galician umbrella and the game became a heavy and long digestion. Giráldez centered Aspas for Celta to be something more than a robust umbrella, but Cholo reorganized his pieces without success.
Celta continued to grow and Atlético seemed to weigh on their legs. In the second half, Morata entered for Lino and Llorente positioned himself on the right flank, but the sensations were the same. Celta continued to move the ball better and with more precision against the red and white lethargy.
Finally, De Paul pulled off a masterstroke in a corner rebound and exploded Guaita’s umbrella. Atlético secured the Champions League and dedicated the victory to all those children in the stands and also to the adults who were children at another time.

“Atletico Madrid leaves everything open for the return in Madrid”
A great goal from Rayane Belaid leveled the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Champions Cup. Atletico found a vein on the left wing, with Rayane Belaid leading inside and Julio Diaz doubling with great force and consistency.
Levante counterattacked with muscle and danger with second-line incursions. In a maximum equality duel, Carlos Martín’s goal came in the added time of the first half. But Torres’ team had a reaction and found a golden draw.
The ball headed by Omar Janneh, Rayane’s run into space, the cut and the left-footed shot. A great goal with the participation of two key pieces. Belaid already has 18 goals this season, 13 in the League, four in the Youth League and the first of Atletico in the Champions Cup. Madrid will dictate sentence in the return duel of two champion teams.

But the most important thing is that Simeone reaches 400 victories as Atlético’s coach, being the only one in Spain to achieve it with a single club. In total, the red and white team has achieved 20% of all its official victories in history under the orders of the Argentine coach.
In addition, Simeone becomes the coach with the most points obtained in the history of the League: 976 compared to 973 from Luis with almost 300 fewer games. Although it has not been the most prosperous season for Atlético, with two faces: excellent at home and failing away, his data continues to make history in the League.

He is a key player in the team’s defense and was the preferred central defender of Simeone in the youth academy. With his great aerial game and his millimeter precision in long passes, Kostis is a great value for the team. Although he was previously in the plans of Cyprus, he enjoys both nationalities.

Atlético de Madrid has one of the best players in the league, Antoine Griezmann, who has been key in the team’s qualification for the Champions League. Despite playing with pain from an ankle injury, Griezmann has scored 24 goals in all competitions, his best season since the 2017-18 campaign.
He has also added eight assists, directly participating in more than 30 goals for the sixth time as an Atlético player.

“Arrasate trusts in Osasuna’s victory against Atlético de Madrid”
Osasuna’s coach, Jagoba Arrasate, has called up 20 players to face Atlético de Madrid at the Civitas Metropolitano. Despite having lost in the last nine encounters, Arrasate trusts that his team will find victory after six rounds without achieving it.
The red team recovers Pablo Ibáñez after serving a one-match suspension and it is expected that undisputed starters such as Sergio Herrera or Areso will return. In addition, it is very likely that Budimir will have a few minutes in the penultimate match of the season after a month out due to injury. It is expected that the 4-2-3-1 system that has been used recently will be employed again.

Atlético B could not cope with Ceuta in a game where the locals came out to bite and the red and whites to settle in their obligatory modifications. The locals took the lead in the third minute of play and sealed the game in the second half with an own goal from Dani Martínez.
Despite the fact that Dani Romera launched a penalty to the crossbar, Atleti B opened up and left huge gaps for Pablo and Dani to kill the game on the counterattack. The 4-0 guarantees Ceuta a place in the promotion playoffs. The best news for Tevenet was to see Kostis back on the grass for a few minutes, recovered from a long-term injury, and the debut of Taufik, just 16 years old.

“Oblak returns to top form with Atlético de Madrid”
The Slovenian goalkeeper of Atlético de Madrid, Jan Oblak, has returned to his best form after a difficult season in which he has conceded goals in 13 consecutive games. The team has had defensive problems and has conceded many opportunities to the rival, but coach Diego Simeone has moved his pieces and has had success.
Oblak has reached 200 victories in the league and has played all the team’s games this season. Although his statistics are not as good as in previous seasons, he has had outstanding performances, such as his exhibition against Inter in the penalty shootout.
Oblak is a pillar of the team and the second captain with the most games in the history of the club. The club has the obligation to strengthen the defense this summer to return to being solid at the back.

“Lemar returns to Atlético’s squad after eight months out”
Atlético Madrid has announced its squad for the match against Osasuna, with the inclusion of Lemar as the main novelty. The Frenchman, who injured his Achilles tendon last September, returns to the list for the first time since then.
Although Lemar is already thinking about next season, he has been included in the 21-player squad after participating in the latest training sessions at a good pace. However, Simeone will not be able to count on Nahuel Molina and Barrios due to injury, nor on Witsel and Giménez due to suspension.
In the face of absences in defense, the coach has called up Marco Moreno and Gomis to accompany the 19 available players from the first team. The expected lineup is expected to be very similar to the one that won in Getafe, with mandatory changes in the backline, where Paulista and Savic will enter, probably in their last match at the stadium.

Atlético de Madrid closed their season at the Metropolitano with a 1-4 defeat against Osasuna. The red and white team did not show their best version and the defense was one of the main problems. Osasuna, on the other hand, played a flawless game and took advantage of their opportunities.
Atleti woke up in the second half with the entry of Morata, who scored the goal of 1-2, but it was not enough to avoid defeat. Simeone’s team ends the season with 16 wins and only two defeats at home, but the last one was against an Osasuna that easily beat them.

The game could also be the farewell of important players such as Savic, Correa and Morata. The Cholo’s team could have achieved a record of home wins in LaLiga, but they missed it. Atlético have nothing left to play for in their visit to San Sebastián and will focus on Fernando Torres’ youth team, who want to say goodbye with the Champions Cup.

“Farewell, Metropolitano
Today’s match at the Metropolitano is a farewell game. Up to seven Atlético Madrid players could say goodbye to the rojiblanco stadium. Among them, central defender Savic, who has been a key player for Simeone for nine seasons.
Despite the Argentine coach wanting him to continue, it seems unlikely that the central defender’s decision will be reversed. Another player who could say goodbye is Carrasco, who has suffered a painful trigeminal neuralgia and has gone from being a starter to a substitute. In addition, the match will also serve to say goodbye to physical trainer Óscar Ortega, who has been key to the strength of the rojiblanco team.

Atlético Madrid face Osasuna in their final home game of the season. Cholo Simeone’s team have achieved their goal of qualifying for the Champions League, but they want more. With only four points separating them from Girona, third place is within reach.
The team has had a record-breaking season at home, with 16 wins in 18 Liga games, but they have struggled away from home, with more defeats than victories. Cholo will have to change his defense, as Witsel and Giménez complete their cycle, and two players who will not continue with the team next season will enter.
The rest of the team remains, with Koke and De Paul in the center, Llorente on the right, and Roro and Lino on the left. There will also be farewells, such as that of Osasuna’s coach, who says goodbye to the Metropolitano after eight years.

Players like Hermoso, Paulista, Savic and Memphis will leave. The club will have to decide the future of important players like Correa, Morata and Saúl. Atlético has loaned players like João Félix and Samu, who could be under Simeone’s orders in preseason.
Atlético will sign at least two central defenders, a midfielder and a couple of forwards. The idea is clear: to rejuvenate the squad. Simeone is clear, as are the directors of the red and white club. It’s not about making a revolution for the sake of it, but about having patience and making the right moves for the Cívitas Metropolitano team.

“Atlético ends season with discontent and disappointment”
Atlético de Madrid ended their home season with a loud boo from their fans after losing 1-4 to Osasuna. The defeat, which offered a poor image of the team, was the worst way to end a season that has been very good at the Cívitas Metropolitano.
The anger was not only from the fans, but also from the club’s leaders, who believe that the fans deserved a better farewell. Simeone himself admitted to disappointing his fans in a game that should have ended in celebration.
Atlético could have set a historic record if they had beaten Osasuna and won their 17th home game in LaLiga. The maximum number of wins was, and will remain, 16. Cholo’s team equaled the Atlético team of the 91-92 season with Luis Aragonés at the helm.
Another reason to beat Osasuna. The image cannot be that. The fans have filled the stadium throughout the campaign and the team cannot show the indolence it showed in the early stages of the game.

Savic was fundamental in the team that won the league title in the 20-21 season and now leaves with the satisfaction of duty fulfilled. Atlético is looking in the market for a new Savic, a young player, with desire and many years of performance ahead.

Atlético de Madrid is facing a major overhaul ahead of the 2024-25 season. The team has suffered unprecedented defensive problems in the Simeone era, with 68 goals conceded in 53 games. Despite having two strikers with over 20 goals, Griezmann (24) and Morata (21), the team has failed to achieve the expected success.
The lack of intensity and strength in defense has been a generalized problem. The sports management, led by Andrea Berta, has been working for months on the incorporation of central defenders with projection, with the idea of bringing in at least two.
Mosquera (19), who has been evolving in Valencia, and who is liked for his qualities in Bologna. Market opportunities are also being studied, such as Laporte (29) if the doors to Saudi Arabia open.
In midfield, the continuity of Saúl (29) and Lemar (28) is being monitored, and reinforcing the pivot is a clear objective. The forward line is also being strengthened, with Santi Giménez (23) as a possibility and author of 26 goals in 41 games.

Piñedo stands out for his capacity and professionalism in the design of individual tasks for each player and in gym work.
