Atlético de Madrid is at its best moment, with eight consecutive victories, the last time this figure was exceeded was in 2015. Cholo’s team has found its rhythm and presents itself as one of the candidates to pursue the League.
Saúl returns to the team literally and metaphorically, after having played two seasons in Sevilla. The Atlético that receives him is very similar to that of 2015, where Saúl became strong. Saúl’s history in Atlético was 427 games and an unforgettable goal.
García Pimienta’s team has doubts on the left and its forwards have not scored yet. In his place, Lukebakio does it, the team’s top scorer, with six goals. Cholo has Julián, with eleven goals in 17 shots on target. Today he will play in the lead with a Grizi back. His right side is immovable and Lenglet and Galán, who point to the starting lineup, are making their way. In the middle, Koke may continue and De Paul or Barrios may rest.

With his intensity, his ability to win duels and his ability to join the attack, Galán has been one of the standout players in Atlético’s recent matches. His evolution has been such that he has displaced Reinildo from the starting lineup, and everything points to him continuing to be an important player in the red and white team in the upcoming matches.

“Simeone fields his best eleven against Barcelona”
Atlético de Madrid is preparing to face Barcelona this Saturday with the league title at stake. The team trained in Majadahonda, where the main novelty was the absence of Correa, who suffered a blow and did not train as a precaution.
Gallagher will be the big novelty in the starting eleven, which does not present great surprises. The Englishman will enter the midfield as a left interior in place of Lino.
The Atlético eleven to face the Catalan team seems very clear: Oblak; Marcos Llorente, Giménez, Lenglet, Javi Galán; Giuliano, De Paul, Barrios, Gallagher; Julián Alvarez and Griezmann. Simeone worked on pressing movements in the training session to pressure Barcelona’s attacks in the best possible way.

“Atletico Madrid aims to end 18-year winless streak at Barcelona’s home”
Atletico Madrid visits Montjuïc with the aim of ending a streak of more than 18 years without being able to impose themselves in Barcelona’s home. Neither in Liga, Champions, Copa del Rey or Supercopa de España have they been able to overcome one of the great challenges that still lies ahead for Simeone.
The red-and-white team achieved the draw that served to be champions in 2014 and also obtained two results that were ultimately useful to advance to the next round of Champions in 2014 and 2016 (1-1 and 2-1), winning in the return match at the Vicente Calderón by 1-0 and 2-0.
In total, Atletico has played 17 matches in Barcelona’s home: 12 in Liga, with eight defeats and four draws, two in Copa with one defeat and one draw, two in Champions with one defeat (2-1) and one draw (1-1) and one in Supercopa de España closed by 0-0, although Barcelona took the title for the 1-1 in the first leg.
To remember the last Atletico victory, we must go back to February 5, 2006. At that time, Atletico was living a completely different moment than the current one, as a mid-table team and already established in Primera División (it was their fourth season after promotion), but with few aspirations and the challenge of finishing in UEFA positions, something that they would not achieve until the following season (when they finished seventh).

Atlético de Madrid visits Barcelona’s stadium with the aim of taking the three points and leading the table. It will be the last game of the year and Simeone’s team could end it as leaders.
The Cholo faces a great challenge, as in the years he has been in charge of Atlético he has never been able to beat Barcelona in the azulgrana club’s stadium. Simeone has won at the Bernabéu and other great European stadiums, but has not yet achieved a victory in Barcelona.
He has faced the azulgrana team in the League, Cup, Champions and Supercopa. And he has never returned to Madrid with a victory, although on one occasion, in the 2013-14 season, he achieved a 1-1 draw that gave him the league title.
An Atlético victory would be a blow to the table for the rojiblancos’ aspirations for the league title. Simeone arrives at Montjuïc with the worst record of results in azulgrana territory, having suffered three consecutive defeats.
The last time Simeone got something positive against Barcelona as a visitor was in the 2020-21 campaign, where a 0-0 draw was registered. In that season, Atlético was proclaimed league champion.

The last case was that of Carrasco, who was the subject of a purchase option of 20 million euros that Barcelona did not execute.
