“The shield that survived the mud
The history of Atlético de Madrid is a story of survival and epic, especially for the fan clubs of Paiporta and Utiel, affected by the DANA in October. The club has shown its support and other fan clubs have raised funds to help in the reconstruction.
One of the most emotional moments was when a group of legionaries found a wooden shield of Atlético in the mud of Paiporta and returned it to its owner, a member of the Paiporta fan club. This shield that survived the mud has become a symbol of hope and resistance for the affected fan clubs.

“Atletico Madrid
The winter market opens and four Atletico Madrid players can commit to other clubs for next season: Koke, Reinildo, Witsel and Azpilicueta. Koke, the captain, has a unique clause and could extend his contract for another year.
Azpilicueta and Witsel have performed well, but their veteran status weighs on the balance. Reinildo has had less prominence since his knee injury and could look for a new destination. Atletico will negotiate an extension for those players whose contracts expire on June 30 to extend their stay until the end of the Club World Cup.

“Atlético Madrid rule out signing Dani Olmo”
Atlético Madrid have ruled out the possibility of signing midfielder Dani Olmo in the winter transfer window. According to sources from the club, they are not considering any signings in this transfer window and they will not be reinforcing the attacking area, where Olmo plays.
The experience of distributing minutes among five forwards was not very satisfactory two years ago for Simeone. Currently, Cholo has four forwards (Julián Alvarez, Griezmann, Sorloth and Correa), as well as Giuliano, Lino, Riquelme and Lemar.
The rojiblanco squad is made up of 23 players and has led the team to the top of the table just before the Christmas break. Although the player’s representative is moving him or looking for solutions, the Metropolitano will not be a stop for Olmo. The rojiblanco door is closed at the moment for a player like him, a great player, but far from their plans.

La Rosaleda stadium will forever be linked to Diego Simeone, when the Argentine coach took the field for the red and white team thirteen years ago.
The 0-0 draw that ended that Málaga-Atlético match of the 18th round of the 11-12 season was the beginning of the long road of the coach who has won eight titles with the red and white team and was named best coach of the past decade by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS).
However, his time at La Rosaleda, which he last visited on February 2018, in his last encounter against Málaga in the first division, did not always bring him joy. Because the stadium of his debut is a field where the Cholo has scored as many draws (three) as victories (three more), in addition to a defeat.
After that first 0-0 came another (in the 12-13 season) before the first victory (13-14, goal by Koke). In the 14-15 season he scored his third draw (2-2, with goals from Samu García and Torres in his own goal and two from Griezmann).
The 15-16 season was the year of his only defeat (Godín’s own goal), before the victories of the 16-17 (0-2, goals from Filipe and Koke) and the 17-18 (0-1, from Lemar). Today he will return to a full Rosaleda, with all 30,000 seats sold to see him back, now against Marbella.
