“Atlético Madrid aim to reconnect with La Liga against Mallorca”
Atlético Madrid have lost their rhythm in La Liga in the last two games, with a defeat to Leganés and a draw against Villarreal. Simeone’s team needs to wake up to avoid losing the top train, especially with Real Madrid four points ahead and Barcelona just three behind.
The absence of Rodrigo de Paul, suspended for accumulating yellow cards, is a significant loss. Lenglet will return to defense and there may be rotations in the attack, with Sorloth as a possible starter.
Arrasate returns to the Metropolitano with Mallorca, who have lost their four games of the month without scoring a goal. The Balearic team will recover their 5-4-1 to try to restore the defensive strength of the beginning of the season. Simeone will reach 500 games in La Liga against Mallorca, becoming the eighth coach to reach this figure in the history of the competition.

“Arrasate
Jagoba Arrasate, Mallorca’s coach, analyzed the match against Atlético de Madrid at the Metropolitano. Despite the 2-0 defeat, the coach expressed pride in his team’s attitude and performance during the second half.
‘In the second half, the team showed courage and football, and managed to make Atlético fear us,’ he highlighted. Arrasate acknowledged that the team is going through a tough period, with five consecutive defeats without scoring, but emphasized that they had clear chances to equalize in the second half.
‘We need to generate more opportunities, but with what we saw in the second half and with the support of our fans, hopefully, we can reverse this streak,’ he said. The coach also spoke about the importance of the next matches at Son Moix, crucial to overcome this bad run, and praised Jan Salas’ debut, who showed composure and confidence in his first game.

“Julian Alvarez Fit for the Derby; Le Normand Out Due to Suspension”
Julian Alvarez, a key player for Atletico Madrid, will be available for the upcoming derby against Real Madrid. Although he was substituted in the match against Mallorca, he did not receive a yellow card, allowing him to maintain his offensive momentum.
On the other hand, Le Normand will have to serve a suspension after being booked in the same game, opening the door for Gimenez to partner with Lenglet in defense. Julian Alvarez’s presence is crucial, as he is the only Atletico player to have been involved in all 34 of the team’s goals this season. Simeone showed confidence in his key players, even under the pressure of potential suspensions, and now the team is preparing for a crucial match at the Bernabeu.

“The Madrid Quartet
Madrid’s coach, Ancelotti, faces a significant dilemma regarding his team’s lineup. The quartet formed by Mbappé, Vinicius, Rodrygo, and Bellingham has proven to be a true arsenal, scoring 62 goals in the season and being responsible for 14 of the team’s 15 goals in the last four games.
However, including all four players together in decisive matches poses a balance problem for the team. In the 11 games they have started together, Madrid has scored 33 goals, with an average of three per game.
But when one of them has been missing, the production has suffered, and the average has dropped to 2.4 goals per game. With the incomplete quartet, the team has won 66.7%, while with all four, 81.8%. The only loss with the four players together was the 2-5 against Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final. Now, Ancelotti must decide whether to include all four players together in the upcoming decisive matches against Atlético de Madrid and the Champions League tie against Guardiola’s City.

Diego Pablo Simeone has reached a significant milestone in his career as coach of Atlético de Madrid, completing 500 games in the First Division. In a press conference, Simeone expressed his gratitude to his family, his team, and the managers who have supported him throughout his career.
‘Without my family, this would be impossible’, he highlighted. Simeone also spoke about the importance of maintaining defensive solidity and continuing to grow in the offensive phase.
The team has demonstrated its ability to compete in the League, and Simeone highlighted the work of players like Antoine Griezmann, who scored a great goal to secure the victory. The coach also referred to the management of yellow cards and the importance of having a solid team to face the games.
Simeone was grateful to the footballers who have passed through the team and have left a legacy, such as Gabi, Tiago, Godín, Miranda, Juanfran, and Filipe. With 500 games under his belt, Simeone remains a passionate and current coach, thanks to the support of his team and family.

“Griezmann, the Engine of Atlético”
French striker Antoine Griezmann is in top form, which worries his next opponent, Mallorca. In the last eight matches against the Balearic team, Griezmann has participated in five goals, with two scored and three assisted.
His coach, Diego Simeone, highlighted his performance in the Champions League match against Salzburg, calling it ‘one of the best of the last month’. Griezmann starts February in high spirits, after a spectacular start to the season, with 18 goals and eight assists.
Despite an injury that kept him off the pitch for a while, the Frenchman has returned to his level and is seeking to reach the 200-goal mark with Atlético. With 14 goals in the current season, the next five do not seem far away.
Mallorca should be worried, as Griezmann has a history of great performances against them. The rojiblanco team faces a major challenge, but with Griezmann in form, anything is possible. The striker is crucial for Atlético, and his coach knows that if he is doing well, the team can achieve great things.
Last season, Griezmann reached a goal tally that seemed unattainable, and now he is seeking to surpass it. With his current level, it does not seem that the five goals needed to reach the 200-goal mark with Atlético will take long to arrive.

Atlético de Madrid will face Mallorca this Saturday at 18:30 hours at the Metropolitano with a change of VAR referee. Hernández Hernández, initially designated, has been replaced by Figueroa Vázquez due to medical leave.
This change comes in a week marked by criticism from Mallorca coach Jagoba Arrasate and some of his players, who have felt disadvantaged in the last games against Villarreal and Betis in some decisions not taken from the VAR.
The Mallorcan fans feel disadvantaged by seeing that dubious plays in their favor are not reviewed, while those against are. Figueroa Vázquez’s record with Mallorca before becoming a specific VAR referee is being closely watched on the island, as the balance in 23 games directed at Mallorca is 3 wins, 3 draws and 17 losses.

“Atlético de Madrid aims to reconnect with La Liga against Mallorca”
Three days after their match in Salzburg and three days before facing Getafe in the Copa, Atlético de Madrid needs to get back on the winning track in La Liga after only earning one point from their last six games.
Simeone’s team, which is no longer the winter champion, has Real Madrid four points ahead. Winning against Mallorca is a way to re-present their candidacy in a match that is the prelude to the league derby at the Bernabéu.
Simeone has had little time to work with his players and the starting lineup is a mystery, although it is known that De Paul will not play and Barrios will return after serving a one-game suspension. Lenglet will also return to the defense after serving a suspension against Villarreal. The lineup that Simeone could field is: Oblak; Llorente, Giménez, Lenglet, Azpilicueta; Giuliano, Barrios, Koke, Gallagher; Griezmann and Sorloth.

“Atlético Stumbles in Granada and Moves Away from European Spots”
Atlético de Madrid suffered a new setback in Liga F, losing in Granada and moving away from the Champions League spots. The red-and-white team, led by Víctor Martín, showed an uneven performance and relied heavily on key interventions from Patri Larqué.
Despite the efforts of Gio and Boe Risa, the team failed to find the goal, and Arturo Ruiz’s Granada, a former Atlético coach, knew how to take advantage of counterattacks to create danger. With this stumble, Atlético has dropped 21 points out of the last 36, keeping Víctor Martín under pressure. The defeat leaves the team in a complicated situation in the standings, far from the European competition spots.

Atlético B failed to secure points in their match against Ceuta, showing weaknesses in both defense and attack. Despite local dominance in the first half, the red-and-white reserve team didn’t create enough clear chances.
In the second half, Ceuta took advantage of Atlético B’s defensive frailties, with Dani Aquino opening the scoring after a 60-meter run without opposition. The 2-0 score came shortly after, with Redru and Aquino as key players.
Although Atlético B managed to reduce the deficit with a goal from Joaquín, the final result was insufficient. Despite the loss, the red-and-whites still have options to fight for the playoffs, but they need to improve their defensive solidity and attacking efficiency.

With two important derbies against Getafe and Real Madrid ahead, Lino is in top form, ready to help the team fight for the lead.

However, after an appeal by the club, on October 17, the sanction was reduced to a single game closure of sectors 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, and 133, along with a fine of 3,000 euros. Atlético complied with this sanction in the league match against Leganés, which they won 3-1, and decided not to appeal further.

“Giuliano Simeone’s Magical Bandage”
Giuliano Simeone has become a key player for Atlético de Madrid, standing out for his goal-scoring impact. At just 22 years old, the Argentine has scored a brace against Getafe and a goal in Salzburg, showing great form.

Like his father, Cholo Simeone, Giuliano has inherited not only football skills but also the superstitions that unite them. This bandage, which was initially a joke, has become a symbol of his success and connection to the team’s greats.

“A Derby of Changing Winds”
The derby between Atlético de Madrid and Real Madrid ended in a draw, a fair result after a match of changing winds. Madrid had to make amends during the game, as they failed to break down Simeone’s conservative proposal in the first half.

Atlético collaborated with a dubious defense of the area, highlighted by Giménez, but still, there was a significant improvement in a Madrid that made Oblak bring out his best.
The white team managed with another energy, moved the ball with greater liveliness towards the bands, and the one-on-ones of Rodrygo and Vinicius created plays of real danger. The best defense for Madrid is to be a good attack in this current situation, and their growth put Atlético in suffering mode. Although Simeone’s team also had their chances, the draw was the final result at the Bernabéu, a result that belonged to no one, only to Barcelona.

“The Penalty Polemic
After the controversy generated in the match between Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid, the audio of the conversation between the main referee, Soto Grado, and the VAR referee, De Burgos Bengoetxea, has been made public.
In the 29th minute, De Burgos Bengoetxea claimed to Soto Grado to warn him of a potential penalty from Tchouameni to Lino after a lateral center. The conversation reveals that Soto Grado assessed the action and decided to whistle a penalty in favor of Atlético de Madrid.
The main referee considered that Tchouameni’s stepping on Lino inside the area was enough to concede the penalty. Iturralde, an arbitration expert, agrees with the decision and recalls that the CTA dictates that stepping inside the area in dispute of the ball is a penalty.
This decision is consistent with other similar ones, such as the 1-0 of Athletic that came from another stepping. Atlético de Madrid benefited from this decision and the team’s fans can breathe easy thanks to arbitration justice.
The Metropolitano was witness to this controversy and Atlético de Madrid players can feel satisfied with the decision made by the referees. The penalty controversy has generated a great debate in the world of football and Atlético de Madrid fans can enjoy this moral victory.

“The controversy over Ceballos’ non-expulsion”
Atlético de Madrid is perplexed by the non-expulsion of Ceballos in the derby against Real Madrid. The play, which occurred in the 24th minute of the match at the Bernabéu, was considered by many to be deserving of a red card.
However, referee Soto Grado did not sanction it and the VAR, led by De Burgos Bengoetxea, did not intervene. Atlético’s official stance is to support the referees, but behind closed doors, the club questions the decision.
The team believes that the pressure exerted by Real Madrid on referee Soto Grado throughout the week was very great and influenced his decision. Ceballos’ non-expulsion could have been decisive in the derby, which ultimately ended in a 1-1 draw. Atlético recalls that Real Madrid unleashed a media storm when Mbappé suffered a similar action and wonders if they will now do the same with Ceballos’ entry. The controversy continues and Atlético does not forget the play it considers unfair.

“Giuliano Simeone, put to the test at the Metropolitano”
Atlético de Madrid is preparing for a new challenge at the Metropolitano, where Giuliano Simeone is presented as one of the team’s main offensive weapons. The young attacker, in great form, will be a headache for the rival defense.
Celta de Vigo, the next opponent, is studying different options to stop Giuliano’s talent. Celta’s coach, Claudio Giráldez, handles several tactical alternatives, including the possibility of lining up Sergio Carreira, who already faced Giuliano in the first round with good results.
Carreira, known for his speed and precision in passing, could be key to countering the Argentinian’s game. Another option is Marcos Alonso, although this would imply changes in defense. The match promises to be an exciting duel, with Giuliano Simeone looking to prove his worth and Celta trying to neutralize his danger.
The Rojiblanca fans are confident that Giuliano’s talent and determination will be decisive in achieving an important victory at home. Atlético will seek to take advantage of its strength at the Metropolitano to add three vital points.

“Koke, the captain who keeps setting the pace for Atlético”
Koke, the captain of Atlético de Madrid, has seen his space in the team reduced in recent months. Despite being one of the leaders in the dressing room, his role on the pitch has been more secondary.
Since his substitution in Prague, he has played only 48.2% of the minutes, compared to 78.3% in the first 19 games of the season. However, his contract situation has not changed, and his link with Atlético expires formally on June 30, but in reality, the midfielder will wear the rojiblanco jersey until he wants to.
Simeone considers him useful for giving air in the second halves and for participating in rotations in this intense part of the season. Koke is still a legend in the club and has raised the historical record of games played to 671.
Atlético fantasizes that their captain will retire at home, as a one club man, but will let him choose. For now, Koke is focused on the next game against Celta. His adaptability and leadership continue to be fundamental for the team, and his presence at the Metropolitano is always a key factor for Atlético’s success.

“Rayane Belaid
Atlético de Madrid has reasons to smile. Rayane Belaid, the talented midfielder who turns 20 today, is dazzling at Atleti B under the watchful eye of Fernando Torres. His quality and vision are proving key to boosting the reserve team in their fight for the playoffs.
Rayane, a differential player, has already caught the attention of Simeone, who is closely following his progress. Although he has not yet debuted with the first team, El Cholo is aware of the potential he possesses.
His adaptation to the Primera RFEF has been meteoric, demonstrating the same quality that led him to be the star of the youth team that won the Copa de Campeones and the League. Torres has asked him to contribute goals, and Rayane is responding handsomely, being decisive in several matches.
“When he has the ball, things happen,” says Fernando Torres, acknowledging the impact of the young midfielder. With a contract until 2027, Rayane has become a fundamental pillar for Atleti B. His absence is noticeable, and his presence on the field makes a difference.
With five goals in the League and three in the Youth League, Rayane is, without a doubt, one of the biggest promises of the Rojiblancos youth academy. Simeone knows he has a gem being forged at home, a player who grows game by game and who could be key to Atlético’s future.

“Sevilla, in the shadow of the giants”
Sevilla has shown a worrying face against LaLiga’s heavyweights, conceding half of their goals in duels against Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Atlético de Madrid. Of the 34 goals conceded so far, 17 have come in these four matches, highlighting a marked difference in performance against the most powerful teams.
Both Real Madrid and Atlético scored four goals against them in the first round matches. In the remaining 20 LaLiga matches, Sevilla has conceded only 17 goals, averaging less than one goal per game. However, this statistic is overshadowed by the fragility shown against the big teams.
No other club in LaLiga has managed to score more than two goals against Sevilla, except for Almería in the Copa del Rey, who achieved a 4-1 victory that eliminated the Nervionenses in the round of 32.

Of the seven remaining home games, direct rivals such as Barcelona and Athletic will have to visit the red and white stronghold, a scenario where Atlético is unyielding. The home record is impressive: nine wins and three draws in twelve games, with 23 goals scored and only seven conceded.
The team has shown itself to be the best home team in the championship. Only Espanyol, Real Madrid and Villarreal managed to scrape a point. Although in some matches victory was resisted, as against Getafe, Osasuna, Sevilla or Alavés, the team always found a way to add three at home, driven by the passion of its fans.
Now, the challenge is to maintain solidity at home and improve performance away to avoid giving ground to its competitors. The calendar will bring visits to Valencia, Getafe, Espanyol, Sevilla, Las Palmas, Alavés, Osasuna and Girona, grounds where Atlético must show its best version to continue dreaming of the league title.

“Griezmann
Antoine Griezmann continues to build his legend at Atlético de Madrid. The match against Real Madrid was not just another one: the Frenchman reached 300 La Liga games defending the red and white shirt, a figure that places him among the great names in the club’s history.
A milestone that allows him to enter a select group of historic players, tied with Calleja and with his sights set on surpassing Arteche (308 games). Correa (324) and Collar (329) are still far away this season. Oblak (355), Tomás (367), Adelardo (401) and Koke (475) occupy the places of honor.
Of those 300 games, Griezmann has proven to be a fundamental pillar, starting in 270 occasions. His 136 goals and 62 assists are proof of his quality and commitment to the team. His future is uncertain for next season, with the possibility of continuing at the Metropolitano or even making the leap to MLS.
However, the Frenchman’s desire is clear: to lift his first La Liga as an Atlético player. The club has given him freedom to decide his future, trusting in his criteria and dedication to the team. Griezmann, a player for the history books of Atleti!

“Atleti
Atlético de Madrid is once again comfortable in its role as the ‘dark horse’ in La Liga. After a start to the season with ups and downs, Simeone’s team has regained its characteristic competitiveness, rubbing shoulders with Real Madrid and Barcelona.
‘Cholo’ Simeone feels comfortable with the media spotlight on the other two big teams, which allows the Rojiblancos to work with less pressure and focus on their game. This ‘underdog’ role benefits the team, the fans, and the coach himself.
After overcoming difficult moments, Atlético has demonstrated its ability to fight and its resilience. The goal now is the Copa del Rey, a competition highly valued by the club, after the painful episode last season.
While Real Madrid faces the Champions League play-off, Atlético takes the opportunity to catch its breath and prepare conscientiously. The team managed to qualify among the top eight in the qualifying phase of the European tournament, exceeding initial expectations.

Jan Oblak, Atlético de Madrid’s guardian, is experiencing a sweet moment. His performances in key matches, such as the derby and the visit to Barça, confirm him as a guarantee between the posts. With an impressive save percentage of 78.3%, Oblak is positioned as one of the best goalkeepers in La Liga.
His security and reflexes have been fundamental in keeping a clean sheet in ten games, surpassing the records of the previous season. This individual improvement is complemented by the team’s defensive solidity. Oblak receives fewer shots per game, which speaks to the good collective work.
His goal is clear: to win the Zamora trophy, an award he has already won five times and that would allow him to make history by surpassing legends such as Víctor Valdés and Ramallets. The arrival of Musso has been an additional stimulus for Oblak.
Simeone fully trusts the Argentine goalkeeper, giving him minutes in the Cup and generating healthy internal competition that benefits the team. The Slovenian is ready to face the challenges ahead in all competitions, with the confidence of knowing that he has the support of a solid team and an unconditional fan base.

However, an unexpected goal from Rapid Vienna tested the Rojiblancos’ strength. Far from being discouraged, Bueno’s pupils showed character and were quick to react. The offensive bombardment resumed, led by Janneh and Castillo, with the latter hitting the crossbar.
The persistence paid off and Jano Monserrate, after a great assist from Julio Díaz, equalized the score before halftime. The second half maintained the same tone, with an Atlético fully committed to attack.
Omar Janneh, after several missed opportunities, finally found the net thanks to another brilliant assist from Julio Díaz, electric on the left wing. Rapid tried to react, but Álvaro Moreno stood as an impenetrable wall in the goal, stifling any Austrian attack attempt.
Although Atleti failed to extend their lead, they knew how to control the match and secure the victory, thus sealing their qualification to the round of 16. The Janneh-Díaz duo was fundamental for the triumph, demonstrating the quality and potential of the Rojiblanca youth academy. The future of Atleti is assured!

“Atleti’s Iron Defense
Simeone’s Atlético de Madrid has regained its hallmark: defensive solidity. And much of this success is due to the abundance of top-level center-backs. Giménez, Le Normand, and Lenglet, each with their own strengths, compete for a place in the starting eleven, creating a ‘blessed problem’ for Cholo.
Simeone values the speed of Giménez and Le Normand, while highlighting Lenglet’s positioning and placement. The season has seen an equitable rotation among them, with Giménez leading in minutes played, followed closely by Lenglet and Le Normand.
Witsel has also contributed his grain of sand when he has had the opportunity. Statistics reveal the particularities of each center-back. Lenglet excels in long and progressive passes, Giménez dominates in clearances and defensive duels, and Le Normand excels in duels won and fouls received.
This diversity of skills allows Simeone to adapt his defense according to the rival and the circumstances of the match. The competition between these three elite center-backs raises the level of the team and guarantees an iron defense for Atleti.

“The Metropolitano, an Impenetrable Fortress for Atlético”
Atlético de Madrid is proving to be unbeatable at home, establishing themselves as the best team in La Liga playing as hosts. The Metropolitano has become a real fortress, where the Rojiblancos have accumulated nine victories in twelve games, without knowing defeat.
This great performance at their stadium reflects the solidity and the great moment that the team is experiencing. One of the most relevant facts is the difficulty for rivals to score at the Colchonero stronghold.
The fans play a crucial role, turning each match into a cauldron that drives the team to victory. The atmosphere in the Metropolitano is unmatched, and the players feel it in every play.
Although Iago Aspas, Celta’s forward, has good memories of the Colchonero stadium, where he scored with Spain, the Metropolitano resists him as a scorer in La Liga. Celta has not achieved victory in their visits to the Metropolitano, reaping only two draws.
Celta’s numbers in Madrid territory are unfavorable, with only three wins in 47 League matches since their last promotion to Primera in 2012. This shows the added difficulty of facing Atlético in their own stadium.
Atlético, backed by their unconditional fans, continues to work to maintain this level and continue adding victories in the Metropolitano. The goal is clear: to consolidate themselves as one of the strongest teams in La Liga and aspire to great things. Come on, Atleti!

“Lino Takes Off
Attention, Rojiblancos! Samuel Lino is establishing himself as a key pillar in Cholo’s scheme. After a season start with ups and downs, the Brazilian has strung together starts and taken over the left wing, proving to be a key player in the Colchonero attack.
In recent matches, Lino has exploded his potential, adding goals, assists and generating dangerous plays. The player himself has recognized that Simeone demands him to be more decisive, and the results are visible.
With four goals and five assists in the 24-25 season, Lino is exceeding expectations and gaining the fans’ trust. His overflow and dribbling are a breath of fresh air for Atlético’s attack, providing a different alternative compared to other players in the squad.
Competition for the position is fierce, with other players looking for their opportunity, but Lino is proving that he has what it takes to succeed at Atlético. His progression is evident and his adaptation to the team’s playing style is increasingly noticeable.
Simeone bet on him after his loan at Valencia, and the player is responding handsomely to that trust. With Lino in a state of grace, Atlético’s left wing has an undisputed owner. Keep enjoying his talent and dedication, Rojiblancos!

“Atlético Focused
Atlético de Madrid continues its preparation for the crucial league match against Celta, aiming to stay in the title race. The team trained in an evening session, fine-tuning details to ensure a home victory.
Marcos Llorente, absent from training for personal reasons, will rejoin the group and start. Azpilicueta trained normally, so in principle, Simeone has all his players available. El Cholo seems to have a clear idea of the starting eleven, with the return of Le Normand after serving his ban.
In training, Simeone has emphasized attacking and defensive exercises, paying special attention to tactical movements both offensively and defensively. The coaching staff shows great respect for Celta, recognizing their ability to generate danger. The team will train again in the final session before the match, finalizing the details for a clash that presents itself as a key challenge in Atlético de Madrid’s aspiration for the league title.

“Manquillo
The situation of Javier Manquillo, a product of Atlético de Madrid’s youth academy, raises questions. The defender, who debuted in the first team in 2011 and played 16 games under Simeone’s management, currently finds himself in an uncertain situation at his current club.
Despite having started the season as a starter, his presence in the team has decreased dramatically, being left out of the squad in several recent matchdays. The official explanation, according to his coach, is due to technical decisions, although this justification raises doubts.
After ruling out his departure in the winter market, and despite the absences in defense, the coach opted to use players from the youth team instead of Manquillo. This situation is even more surprising considering the good atmosphere in the locker room and the positive attitude shown by the player since his arrival at the club.
Manquillo, whose contract expires on June 30, is preparing to embark on a new stage in his career after having defended the colors of Liverpool, Olympique Marseille, Sunderland and Newcastle. Colchoneros fans fondly remember his time at the club, where he demonstrated his worth and commitment, and wish him all the best in his professional future.

That match, corresponding to the seventh matchday, was his first big opportunity in the starting eleven. Despite the difficulties encountered in that match, where Celta exploited his wing, the experience served him to grow and strengthen.
Subsequently, his performance was on the rise, especially highlighting in the match against Leganés, where his play led to a key goal by Griezmann that culminated the rojiblanca comeback. Then, against Las Palmas, came his first goal, consolidating himself on the right wing.

His performance in the derby against Real Madrid, where he was Atlético’s player with the most interventions and accurate passes, evidenced his personality and commitment.
Barrios not only stands out for his physical display and recoveries, but also for his passing accuracy and his ability to ask for the ball at crucial moments in the match. His evolution has been such that Simeone prefers to keep him on the field even before other important players.
His recent debut with the senior national team is a clear indicator of his progression. With a rising market value and starting in most matches, Barrios has become one of the great news for Atlético. His renewal is a priority for the club, aware of the interest of major European clubs.

In midfield, the return of Ilaix Moriba, after serving his suspension, strengthens the double pivot alongside Fran Beltrán. The attack presents various options, with Iago Aspas ready to enjoy his first start of the year, likely accompanied by Alfon and Pablo Durán.

Since then, ‘La Araña’ has established himself as a starter alongside Griezmann, relegating Sorloth and Correa to the bench. At 25 years old and under contract until 2028, Álvarez, valued at 80 million, has demonstrated his goal-scoring ability in La Liga, also scoring against Real Sociedad, Mallorca, Valladolid, Osasuna, and Real Madrid.

Koke assumed his role with professionalism, Reinildo stood out in recovering balls, and Sorloth scored a great goal that changed the course of the match, proving to be a key game-changer. Correa and Gallagher also injected energy into the team.
This Atlético, if it cannot win, draws, but always leaves its soul at the Metropolitano. Resistance against adversity is their hallmark, and faith in the fight for the title remains intact. A team of gladiators who believe and fight to the end.

“Atleti B
Atleti B failed to prevail in their visit to El Palmar, losing a valuable opportunity to get closer to the playoffs. An early penalty at five minutes, transformed by Álex Guti, put Sanluqueño ahead, complicating the match for the Rojiblancos.
Despite attempts by Rayane and Bri to energize the game, the subsidiary lacked clear ideas in attack. Jano, Diego Bri and Janneh created some chances, but without the necessary forcefulness to equalize the score.
In the second half, Atleti B struggled with difficulty, resorting to long balls and showing inaccuracies. The triple change implemented by the coach in the 60th minute did not achieve the desired effect, and the team continued to show difficulties in creating danger near the rival area.
Sanluqueño, meanwhile, maintained control of the match, neutralizing the attempts of the Rojiblancos subsidiary. In the final minutes, Atleti B failed to generate a decisive attack. A cross from Kostis finished by Martín was diverted, showing the lack of clarity in the attack.
Sanluqueño celebrated a crucial victory for their fight for permanence, while Atleti B wasted a valuable opportunity to advance towards the playoffs. Keep working, team! There is still a way to go and we are sure that with effort and dedication they will achieve their goals.

“De Paul Enters Atleti’s Historical Top 100”
Rodrigo de Paul, voted Atlético de Madrid’s best player in January by the fans, continues to establish himself as a key piece for Simeone. After a period of adaptation, the Argentine midfielder has demonstrated his worth and consistency in the rojiblanco team.
In the recent match against Celta, De Paul played in midfield alongside Barrios, although the latter’s early dismissal forced Simeone to readjust the team with the entry of Koke. Beyond the result, this match marked a milestone for De Paul, reaching his 168th game in an Atlético shirt, equaling Simao.
This achievement places him among the 100 players with the most games in the club’s history, a list led by his teammate Koke, with 672 appearances. De Paul has the opportunity to climb positions on this prestigious list if he continues to add minutes in the remainder of the season, and could even reach the top 80. Undoubtedly, a well-deserved recognition of his effort and commitment to the team. Atleti fans recognize his dedication on the field and his importance in Cholo’s tactical scheme.

“VAR and Atleti
Atlético de Madrid’s season continues to generate debate, especially regarding the use of VAR. On matchday 24, VAR intervened on several occasions that directly affected Atleti. One of the most notable moments was the match against Celta, where Barrios was sent off after a VAR review.
In the derby against Real Madrid, VAR also played a crucial role in awarding a goal to Correa that had initially been disallowed for offside. This decision allowed Atleti to add a valuable point in a high-tension match.
Another match where technology influenced the outcome was against Rayo, where VAR awarded a goal to Isi that had been incorrectly disallowed. These refereeing decisions have had a significant impact on the team’s results and their position in the table.
The use of VAR continues to be a subject of controversy in Spanish football, and Atleti has been no stranger to these controversies. Rojiblancos fans hope that, as the season progresses, refereeing decisions will be more consistent and fair, allowing the team to display its best game and achieve its goals.

“Sorloth
Atlético de Madrid has found an unexpected savior in Sorloth. The Norwegian striker, with twelve goals this season (nine in La Liga and three in the Copa del Rey), has become a key weapon for Simeone, especially coming off the bench.
His recent goal against Celta, which salvaged a point for the team, is just the latest example of his impact. Despite not being a guaranteed starter, with Griezmann and Julián Alvarez being regulars, Sorloth has known how to take advantage of his opportunities, proving to be decisive in crucial moments.
In fact, six of his league goals have come after entering as a substitute, adding a total of seven direct points for the team. From his goal against Las Palmas in matchday 12, to his decisive goal against Barcelona at the Metropolitano, Sorloth has left his mark on several important matches.
His ability to make a difference from the bench makes him a unique and valuable player for Atlético. At 29 years old and with a contract until 2028, Sorloth has established himself as one of Atlético’s great successes this season.
Simeone values his commitment and ability to resolve matches, highlighting the importance of having all players plugged in. Sorloth has equaled José Mari as one of the players who has scored the most goals coming off the bench for Atlético, surpassing Correa. Without a doubt, the Norwegian is pure gold for the ‘Colchonero’ team.
