“Musso, at the Forefront in Atlético’s Goal for the Semifinal”
Juan Musso will be Atlético’s starting goalkeeper in the crucial second leg of the semifinals, a decision confirmed by Cholo Simeone, leaving Oblak with no options for this match. This bet on Musso in the Cup reaffirms Simeone’s policy in this competition, where the Argentine has proven to be up to the challenge.
Musso’s arrival has generated healthy competition between the posts, something not seen since the time of Moyá. His performance, reflected in a 79.2% success rate in his seven matches (six in the Cup and one in the League), contrasts with the good level of Oblak, who despite his miracles and a 72.4% success rate last season, has shown some inconsistency.
The second leg of the semifinals is an unbeatable showcase for Musso, an opportunity to prove his worth and establish himself as a reliable goalkeeper for Atlético. The match presents a great challenge for the Argentine, who has in his hands the responsibility of defending the Rojiblanca goal at a key moment of the season.
Simeone’s decision doesn’t stir the debate, Musso will play. In this match, Musso’s performance could be decisive for the team’s future in the competition. His performance will determine whether Atlético’s goal continues to be an undisputed territory for Oblak, or whether Musso has arrived to stay and challenge the established order.

“Atlético de Madrid
The 2024/25 season is proving to be a real challenge for Atlético de Madrid, as it is for all major European teams. The increasingly congested calendar demands a titanic effort from players and coaching staff.

“Atlético
The Metropolitano is preparing to experience an epic night: the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final. Atlético de Madrid, with high morale after the four-all draw in February, faces Barça in a decisive match for a place in the final.
Simeone, with his enthusiasm intact, has been thoroughly preparing for the match, aware that this Copa title is a priority target. The good news is Koke’s return to the squad, a leader who returns to bring experience and solidity to the midfield.
Le Normand will also be available. The only confirmed absence is Correa, who continues to serve his suspension. El Cholo seems to have a clear idea of the starting eleven, with Azpilicueta and Reinildo at full-back, Giménez and Lenglet in the centre of defense.
In midfield, Giuliano Simeone could start on the left wing, accompanied by Llorente on the right, and Barrios and De Paul in the double pivot. Up front, the connection between Julián Alvarez and Griezmann will be key to unbalancing the rival defense.
The Rojiblanco bench will be full of talent, with players like Koke, Lino or Sorloth ready to change the course of the match. The Atleti fans, as always, will play a fundamental role, cheering non-stop to carry the team towards victory and the coveted Copa del Rey final.

“Cholo shakes up the lineup”
Attention, Rojiblancos fans! Simeone is preparing a starting eleven that promises to have a striking effect in the next match, possibly against Barcelona. In the last training session, El Cholo surprised everyone by lining up Azpilicueta, Reinildo and Barrios as starters, leaving out Nahuel Molina, Javi Galán and Gallagher.
The possible starting eleven that is emerging is a statement of intent, seeking a perfect balance between defense and attack. With Musso in goal, the defense would be made up of Azpilicueta, Giménez, Lenglet and Reinildo.
In midfield, Barrios would take the reins alongside Marcos Llorente and De Paul, with Giuliano providing creativity and overflow. Up front, the lethal duo formed by Griezmann and Julián Alvarez will seek to pierce the rival’s goal.
The inclusion of Azpilicueta and Reinildo suggests a somewhat more cautious approach on the wings, prioritizing defensive solidity without giving up offensive projection. Barrios’ entry will bring freshness and dynamism to the midfield. The immovable Marcos Llorente, De Paul and Giuliano will provide consistency and talent in the creation zone, while Griezmann and Alvarez, with their goalscoring nose, will be the main threat in the rival area. An exciting and surprising match is coming! The Metropolitano eagerly awaits this new Atlético.

“Atlético and the Pending Challenge against Barcelona”
Atlético de Madrid, under Simeone’s guidance, faces a new challenge: overcoming Barcelona in a two-legged tie in Spanish competitions. While El Cholo has already tasted victory against the Blaugrana in the Champions League, the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup have historically resisted.
Recently, Atleti broke a streak of almost two decades without winning at the Blaugrana stronghold, a milestone that injects morale and confidence into the team. In the past, Atlético has suffered painful defeats against Barcelona in the Copa del Rey, marked by controversy and bad luck.
Bitter memories of missed penalties, unfairly disallowed goals, and controversial refereeing decisions still linger in the fans’ memory. However, the story at the Metropolitano is different.
The stadium has become a European fortress, a place where Atlético’s fighting spirit and determination rise to their highest expression. Now, the Rojiblanco team has the opportunity to change the course of history and prove its worth against a demanding rival. With the unconditional support of their fans at the Metropolitano, Atlético will seek victory and passage to the next round, consolidating their project and reaffirming their ambition to conquer titles. Will this be the time the Metropolitano delivers a sentence in favor of Atleti also in the Cup?

“Atlético - Valladolid
Despite a difficult season, Valladolid fans are preparing to visit Atlético de Madrid at the Metropolitano. The match, one of the most anticipated by the Valladolid fans, is presented as an opportunity to enjoy the unique atmosphere that is experienced in the rojiblanco stadium.
Although the performance of the visiting team is not the best, the visit to Madrid is always an attraction, especially due to the majesty of the Metropolitano. The match, which will take place on Holy Monday, April 14, at 9:00 p.m., presents some logistical drawbacks for fans due to working hours and the holiday.
However, Atlético de Madrid has facilitated the trip by adhering to the agreement with Aficiones Unidas, offering 400 tickets at a reduced price of 30 euros. Tickets will be available for online purchase from Wednesday, April 2 and will be nominative, requiring the presentation of ID to access the stadium.
Fans who purchase their tickets will receive them by email days before the match. Without a doubt, a great opportunity to support the team and enjoy a great football atmosphere in the Metropolitano.

“Relief at Atlético
Good news for the Rojiblancos fans. After the initial concern about Rosa Otermín’s injury in the match against Valencia, medical tests have revealed that the player is suffering from a grade 2 sprain of the internal ligament in her right knee.
While the injury will keep her away from the field for a few weeks, the diagnosis is much more favorable than initially feared, after the bad gesture and the player’s tears when she was substituted in the 33rd minute.
The club has confirmed that Otermín is already receiving physiotherapy sessions and working on her physical readaptation. Although an exact time off has not been specified, it is estimated that she could be back in a period of a month and a half to two months.
The evolution of the injury will be key to determining her return to the competition. From the club and the fans, we send all our support to Rosa Otermín, wishing her a speedy and successful recovery. Her talent and dedication are essential for the team, and we are sure that she will come back even stronger to continue defending our colors at the Metropolitano. Come on, Rosa! We are with you.

“Atlético and the Super Cup
Attention, Rojiblancos! The fight for the Spanish Super Cup is red hot, and Atlético de Madrid has a lot to say. With the Copa del Rey in its final stage, the teams that, together with the top two in La Liga, will play the tournament in Saudi Arabia are being defined.
The good news? The regulations favor the Copa del Rey finalists, ensuring their presence in the Super Cup. Currently, the league standings place Atlético in a privileged position.
If one of the Copa del Rey finalists is also among the top two in La Liga, the Super Cup spot is deferred! This means that, if the current situation remains, the third-placed team in La Liga (our Atleti!) would have a guaranteed ticket to the tournament.
Therefore, the excitement is served. Every league match is crucial, but the Copa del Rey becomes a direct springboard to the Super Cup. Keep fighting, team! The Metropolitano must roar with every play to secure that coveted place. Forza Atleti!

“Red and White April
Being away from Madrid sometimes softens the blows. A draw away from home or hearing about a decisive penalty from across the pond, in Punta Cana, hurts less. Distance, in a way, protects.
The lost Champions League finals were experienced from Buenos Aires and Monte Carlo, places that, although they do not erase the sadness, make it more bearable. After a stormy March, where names like Jana, Konrad, and Marciniak shook Madrid, April presents itself as a crucial month.
The options for celebrating are reduced, but hope lies in a key match against Barcelona, near the Luis Aragonés Avenue, red and white territory. Winning this match, and the ones that remain to compete for the Cup, would be a balm for the fans.
The season has been a challenge, but the Atlético spirit remains intact. The fans are confident that the team, driven by the encouragement of their people, will give their best in this final stretch.
Singing “Motivos de un sentimiento” and “Partido a partido”, hymns of red and white faith, is the best way to face what is to come. Hopefully, April will bring joy and we will not have to regret what could have been. Good luck to all Atlético fans!

He highlights the energy that the fans transmit in each match at the Metropolitano, a key factor for the team. He acknowledges the annoyance at the results against Real Madrid and Barcelona, but insists on the great season that Atlético is having, competing at a high level in the Champions League, League and Cup.

He also praised Lewandowski, whom he considers an example of perseverance for strikers.

“Alvarez lights up Atlético’s cup hope”
Atlético de Madrid is playing for a place in the Copa del Rey final in a crucial second leg against Barcelona, and the Rojiblancos fans are placing their trust in Julián Alvarez. The Argentine striker, in his first season at the club, has become a fundamental pillar in Simeone’s scheme, proving to be a decisive player.
With 23 goals in 45 games (11 in La Liga, 7 in the Champions League and 5 in the Copa del Rey), Alvarez is the team’s top scorer and has provided 5 assists, establishing himself as one of the most important players alongside Oblak, Marcos Llorente, Barrios, De Paul and Griezmann.
Interestingly, Barcelona seems to be a rival that Alvarez is good at. In the three previous matches against the Catalan team, the Argentine has left his mark. He scored in the Copa del Rey match played in Barcelona, also assisting Griezmann.
In addition, he scored a goal in the last league match between the two teams at the Metropolitano. ‘La Araña’, with a market value of 90 million euros and a contract until 2030, has won over the fans with goals and assists.
After his participation with the Argentine national team, Alvarez entered the field in the last league match, reserved by Cholo for this important match. Now, at the Metropolitano, Alvarez is expected to lead Atlético to the Copa del Rey final, taking advantage of his goalscoring ability and his special connection with the rival goal.

“Barça, King of Cups
FC Barcelona stands as the undisputed master of the Copa del Rey, treasuring an impressive record of 31 titles, a figure that consolidates its dominance in this prestigious competition.
The last cry of culé jubilation in the Copa echoed in the 2020-21 season, when the blaugrana team displayed its power against Athletic Club with a resounding 0-4 in Seville. Barça’s history in the Copa is a tale of constant success, reaching the final on 42 occasions and lifting the trophy in 74% of them.
Over the years, emblematic figures have left their mark on the culé bench, guiding the team to Copa glory. Coaches such as Jack Greenwell, Ferdinand Daučík and Luis Enrique, each in their time, won the hearts of the fans with their winning strategies and their passion for the club.
Others such as Helenio Herrera and Pep Guardiola also managed to add two titles each. Barcelona’s golden years in the Copa del Rey extend throughout the decades, from the first triumphs at the dawn of the 20th century to the modern era. The club’s trophy cabinet proudly displays the trophies won in the seasons 1909-10, 1911-12, 1912-13, 1919-20, 1921-22, 1924-25, 1925-26, 1927-28, 1941-42, 1950-51, 1951-52, 1952-53, 1956-57, 1958-59, 1962-63, 1967-68, 1970-71, 1977-78, 1980-81, 1982-83, 1987-88, 1989-90, 1996-97, 1997-98, 2008-09, 2011-12, 2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18, 2020-21, a testament to Barça’s indelible legacy in the Copa del Rey.

“Areso in sight
Atlético de Madrid continues to seek reinforcements to bolster their defense, and Jesús Areso, a right-back, has emerged as an interesting option. Although Athletic Club is also interested in the player, Cholo Simeone has expressed his need for a reliable full-back, as the position has been covered by players like Marcos Llorente, originally a midfielder.
Areso, due to his price and projection, fits the profile sought by the rojiblanco coach. Atlético is considering paying the player’s release clause to incorporate him into their ranks.
The competition from Athletic is strong, especially with their participation in the Champions League, which requires them to strengthen the squad. The Bilbao club has already shown interest in other players for next season.
Despite this, Atlético could pull off a surprise and secure Areso’s services, adding a valuable asset to the right-back position and providing more tactical options for the team.
The rojiblanca board is determined to support Simeone with signings that raise the competitive level of the team and allow them to face the season’s challenges with guarantees. We will be watching closely in the coming weeks to see if Areso will wear rojiblanco at the Metropolitano. The colchoneros fans eagerly await the arrival of reinforcements that strengthen the team and allow them to continue fighting for their goals.

“Griezmann to the Rescue
Atlético de Madrid needs Antoine Griezmann at his best to overcome Barcelona. Simeone fully trusts the Frenchman’s talent, highlighting his creativity and hierarchy, and hopes he will be decisive in the upcoming match.
El Cholo has publicly praised Griezmann, acknowledging that, although all players have ups and downs, the forward’s genius is essential for the team. Griezmann will form in the attack alongside Julián Alvarez, seeking to unbalance the culé defense.
The match presents several challenges for the Frenchman, who has yet to score against Barcelona at the Metropolitano. Despite this, Griezmann has demonstrated his scoring ability against Barça in other matches, adding four goals in total.
Griezmann is a pillar in Simeone’s scheme, being the second player with the most minutes played this season, only surpassed by Oblak. So far, he has scored 16 goals in all competitions: eight in La Liga, six in the Champions League, and two in the Copa del Rey.
Although he has been without scoring for some time, his last goal was precisely against Barcelona on February 25. Atlético needs Griezmann to regain his best level, not only in the scoring facet but also in his participation in the team’s play. With sights set on the Copa del Rey final, Griezmann is motivated to finish the season with a title and continue to be a key player in the club’s future.

Simao Sabrosa, a name etched in gold in the history of Atlético de Madrid. After his fleeting spell at Barcelona, the Portuguese winger arrived at the Metropolitano in 2007 to become an undisputed benchmark.
His signing, along with that of Diego Forlán, revitalized a team that needed new figures after Fernando Torres’ departure. Simao quickly won the hearts of the fans thanks to his speed, technique, and, above all, his exceptional set-piece ability.
During his three and a half seasons as a Rojiblanco, Simao demonstrated grit and talent, contributing important goals in La Liga and in European competitions. His commitment and charisma made him a leader on and off the pitch, even wearing the captain’s armband.
One of the most memorable moments was his decisive free-kick in the Copa del Rey comeback against Recreativo, a magical night that will be etched in the memory of Atlético fans.
Simao was a fundamental part of the team that conquered the Europa League and the European Super Cup, titles that marked an era and demonstrated the club’s growth. After his time in Turkey and his brief return to La Liga with Espanyol, Simao retired leaving an indelible legacy at Atleti. Today, his plaque around the Metropolitano is a tribute to his career and the affection that the Rojiblanca fans have for him. A player who undoubtedly left his mark on the hearts of all Atlético fans.

Attention, Atlético fans! The team is ready to host FC Barcelona at the Metropolitano. The Blaugrana team has announced their squad for the crucial match, and Ansu Fati’s name stands out. His inclusion in the list came after Christensen’s absence.
However, the squad also presents important absences. Dani Olmo, Marc Casadó, Marc André Ter Stegen and Marc Bernal will not be available due to injuries and other reasons. Despite these absences, the Catalan team travels to Madrid with a competitive squad determined to give their all on the field.
Players like Szczesny, Peña, Koundé, Araújo, Eric, Cubarsí, Íñigo, Balde, Frenkie, Pedri, Gavi, Pablo Torre, Fermín, Ferran, Lewandowski, Yamal, Raphinha, Fati, Pau Víctor, Kochen, Fort and Martín are part of the expedition.

“Koke
Atlético de Madrid feels the weight of Koke’s absence. The numbers don’t lie: the team suffers when the captain is not on the field. Although his prominence has decreased this season, his absence is noticeable in the overall performance.
Of the last matches in which Koke could not participate due to physical problems, Atlético only achieved some victories, suffering painful defeats, including a Champions League elimination. Although players like Barrios and De Paul have gained ground in midfield, Koke’s experience and leadership remain crucial.
His ability to move the ball and his tactical intelligence are qualities that are missed when he is not there. Koke himself has expressed his enthusiasm to help the team again, especially against a rival in great shape.
He trusts the unconditional support of the fans at the Metropolitano to achieve qualification for the final. Despite having followed some full matches from the bench, Koke remains a fundamental pillar.
At 33 years old and his contract about to expire, Koke is in control: he will continue to wear the red and white shirt until he decides. The captain, the only player who has lived through the entire Simeone era and the one who has played the most games in the club’s history, is back to contribute his experience and leadership on the field.

FC Barcelona has modified its logistics for the match in the capital, prioritizing comfort and minimizing travel. Instead of the traditional Hotel Intercontinental, the Culé team will stay at the Hilton at Barajas Airport, just 10 minutes from the Metropolitano.
This decision, according to club sources, seeks to optimize the team’s rest and preparation before the crucial match. The Blaugrana expedition will land in Madrid shortly before one o’clock in the afternoon on a charter flight, and then head to the hotel to finalize the details before the clash.
It is expected that after the match, Barcelona will return immediately to the Condal City, landing in the early hours of Thursday. This change in the visiting team’s routine highlights the importance they attach to the match against our Atleti. We are confident that our team will know how to take advantage of this situation and give us a memorable victory in the Metropolitano! The Rojiblanca fans are preparing to cheer tirelessly and demonstrate once again why we are the best fans in the world. Aúpa Atleti!

The Metropolitano is preparing for a heart-stopping night in the Copa del Rey. Atlético de Madrid faces Barcelona in a crucial match where there is no room for error. After a vibrant first leg, where both teams showed their offensive power, the fate of the Rojiblancos in the competition is decided in this single match.
Atleti seeks to relive old cup glories, recalling that victory in 2013 with Simeone and Koke against the eternal rival at the Bernabéu. Griezmann, the team’s standard-bearer and with scores to settle against his former team, needs to find his best form to lead the Colchoneros’ offense.
De Paul, key in the transitions, and a Julian in a state of grace will be fundamental to overcome a Barça in great shape. El Cholo is considering the starting eleven, looking for the formula to counteract the Culé’s power and ensure the pass to the final.
After an irregular streak, Atleti needs to find its best version again, the one that allowed it to chain fifteen consecutive victories. A victory against Barcelona would not only mean a pass to the Copa final, but also an opportunity to heal recent wounds and lift a title that would revitalize the team and its fans. The Metropolitano becomes the perfect stage to write a new chapter in the Rojiblanca history.

“Barcelona Trusts Szczesny Against Atlético”
Barcelona faces the crucial match against Atlético de Madrid with optimism, aiming to advance in the Copa del Rey and keep the dream of the treble alive. After the draw in the first leg, the possibility of a penalty shootout looms, and in this scenario, confidence in Szczesny, the Polish goalkeeper, is total.
His history of saving penalties, close to 30% success, generates security in the team. Of the 68 penalties shot against him throughout his career, he has stopped 20, distributed in Juventus, AS Roma, Arsenal, Brentford, and the Polish national team, including one to Leo Messi in the Qatar World Cup.
Szczesny has had a significant impact on Barcelona since his arrival on January 4th, establishing himself as a starter after the trust placed in him by Hansi Flick in the Spanish Super Cup. Despite a somewhat shaky start, his level has been on the rise, showing the great goalkeeper he has always been.
In the 18 games played, he has conceded 17 goals and kept a clean sheet nine times, demonstrating his solidity both in LaLiga and in the cups. At the Catalan club, they are delighted with Szczesny’s performance and his continuity seems almost assured, with a renewal proposal for one year plus another optional that is close to being accepted. The goalkeeper feels comfortable in the team, enjoying football in a young and ambitious environment, with the presence of his friend Robert Lewandowski and the possibility of winning important titles. His adaptation has been excellent, and the idea of retirement can wait.

Their success story in the Cup began in 2009, under the baton of Pep Guardiola, facing Athletic. Despite a complicated start, Barcelona prevailed with a resounding 4-1, with a goal from the Argentine star.
Although they suffered a setback in 2011 against Real Madrid, they made amends in 2012, again against Athletic, with a clear victory (3-0) and another goal from Messi. After a defeat in 2014, the team regained the path to victory at the Camp Nou against Athletic, with a memorable goal from Messi.
The Luis Enrique era further consolidated Barcelona’s dominance in the Cup, with consecutive victories in 2016 against Sevilla, 2017 against Alavés (with a goal from Messi) and 2018 again against Sevilla (with another goal from Messi).
Although they fell in 2019 against Valencia, they achieved their seventh title in 2021 in Seville against Athletic. The match will be remembered as Iniesta’s last. Messi and Busquets, true Culé icons, have left an indelible mark on the history of the Copa del Rey, demonstrating their commitment and talent in every match.

“Chasing the Final
Atlético de Madrid faces a crucial moment of the season with the Copa del Rey on the horizon. After last season’s painful elimination against Athletic, the Rojiblancos fans, along with Simeone and his players, long for a new final.
The match against Barcelona is presented as a golden opportunity to make amends for recent encounters. El Cholo, aware of what reaching this goal would mean, has conveyed to his players the need to show courage and daring on the field.
The Argentine coach wants a team that attacks, that plays Barcelona head-to-head, without complexes or fears. The Metropolitano will play a fundamental role, pushing the team from the first minute.
The fans, always loyal, will respond to the fullest if they see an Atlético plugged in and willing to leave everything on the field.

“Azpilicueta escapes red card
The match between Atlético de Madrid and Barcelona was marked by arbitral controversy from the first minutes. A tackle by Azpilicueta on Raphinha generated controversy and lit up social networks.
In the 7th minute, the rojiblanco defender hit the Barcelona player with his studs on the calf, an action that was initially sanctioned with a yellow card by Munuera Montero. After the VAR review, the referee maintained his decision, unleashing a debate among fans and experts.
Iturralde González, a renowned referee and analyst, assessed the play on the microphones of Carrusel Deportivo. According to Iturralde, Azpilicueta’s action was worthy of a yellow card, although he acknowledged that an expulsion would not have been unreasonable either.
“It’s a yellow for Azpilicueta. Between yellow and orange. He doesn’t catch him and leave the studs on his leg, in that case we would be talking about another action. He hits him very glancingly, not fully.
Yes, if he pulls out a red, you wouldn’t say he’s gone crazy,” explained Iturralde, adding that the key lies in the fact that Azpilicueta does not make full impact with the studs and continues the travel of the foot after contact.
Munuera Montero’s final decision to maintain the yellow card for Azpilicueta generated relief among the Colchonero fans, who feared playing the rest of the match with one less man. Minutes later, De Paul was also booked for a foul on the same Raphinha. An intense match with arbitral decisions that, without a doubt, gave something to talk about.

“VAR
The debate about VAR intervention is back, this time with Atlético de Madrid as the protagonist. After a vibrant match, the absence of VAR interruptions created an authentic football atmosphere, reminiscent of great cup nights.
However, the subsequent review of an Azpilicueta play, instigated from the VAR room, rekindled the controversy about when and how this technology should act.
The play in question, a tackle that the referee on the field considered worthy of a simple yellow card, was reviewed at the urging of VAR, raising doubts about the magnitude of the perceived error.
Was it really such a clear and obvious action as to justify stopping the game? This situation leads us to reflect on the original purpose of VAR: minimal intervention with maximum benefit.
The goal was never to turn it into a tool to correct every possible error, but to intervene in blatant situations that change the course of the match. Just as in the past a referee was praised for going unnoticed, now we should aspire for VAR to only be remembered at the end of the match, a sign that its intervention was fair and necessary. Hopefully we will see more Atleti matches where the refereeing technology allows us to enjoy the game without unnecessary interruptions.

“Atleti
The Rojiblancos’ season, marked by elimination from the Cup, calls for a thorough analysis. Despite the blow, the team has shown character and competitiveness, especially in the most demanding duels.
The defeat against Barcelona, although painful, should not overshadow the effort and dedication shown throughout the year. After a difficult start to the match, Cholo’s tactical modifications revitalized the team in the second half, generating clear opportunities to change the course of the match.
Now, focused exclusively on the League, the primary objective is to maintain intensity and commitment to ensure the best possible position in the table. The victories against Athletic and the ability to compete against direct rivals such as Madrid and Barça are proof of the team’s potential.
Looking ahead, key reinforcements are envisioned to take a leap in quality and consolidate the project. However, the present demands total concentration in each game, starting with the visit to Seville.
The season, categorized as more cruel than disappointing, has been plagued with adverse moments, from missed penalties to untimely expulsions. Despite this, the team has shown resilience and fighting spirit, laying the foundations for a promising future. The path has been traced, and with determination and ambition, Atleti will seek to close the year with their heads held high, looking towards new challenges.

“Atlético’s Month of Ordeal
Atlético de Madrid has experienced a month to forget, marked by elimination in the Copa del Rey and Champions League, in addition to practically saying goodbye to the fight for the League title. What promised to be a historic season after a great start has become a journey through the desert.
The team, which had finished the first round as winter champion and had positioned itself among the top eight in Europe, has deflated in key moments. The elimination in the Champions League against Real Madrid, with an agonizing and controversial ending in the penalty shootout, left a deep wound in the team.
The subsequent defeat against Barcelona at the Metropolitano, both in the League and in the Cup, evidenced a lack of solidity and consistency. The distance with the blaugranas in the League is considerable, and Real Madrid is also ahead, which makes the fight for the championship difficult.
Individual errors, lack of intensity and a disappointing performance in rival fields have been constant. Unnecessary penalties, key expulsions and failures from the penalty spot have weighed down the team, which has scored few points in recent matches. Despite this difficult moment, the fans are confident that the team will rise and fight with determination in the remaining competition, looking to the future and the Club World Cup.

The Colchonero stronghold has witnessed the celebrations of FC Barcelona. After their league victory (2-4) a few weeks ago, a group of Blaugrana players jumped into the jacuzzi in the away dressing room of the Metropolitano to celebrate the triumph and maintain the lead.
Names like Koundé, Araújo, Iñigo Martínez, Gavi, Eric García, Raphinha, Pedri, and Casadó did not hesitate to take a good dip. The celebration was spontaneous and festive, although not the entire squad participated.
However, the recent victory in the Cup (0-1) has triggered an even bigger celebration. Almost the entire squad joined the celebration in the jacuzzi, with the notable exception of Olmo, absent due to injury. Even Casadó, with an orthopedic knee brace, was present.
On this occasion, figures such as Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal, Balde, Cubarsí, and Ferran Torres joined the aquatic party to celebrate the passage to the final. Casadó, for obvious reasons, and Szczesny, fully dressed, approached the pool, but did not jump in. Ansu Fati, who is not having a good season, was not present at the celebrations, as was the case after the match against Girona. The Metropolitano, an unexpected scenario for the Culé celebration.

A curious event has caught the attention of fans: Getafe goalkeeper Letacek was seen at the Metropolitano cheering on Atlético de Madrid during the Copa del Rey semifinal.
The Czech goalkeeper, enjoying a day off, didn’t hesitate to show his support for the Red and White team with an Atleti scarf around his neck, as captured by Movistar cameras.
While for many Atlético fans this is just another example of the passion that the club inspires, a section of Getafe fans has expressed their dissatisfaction. They believe that this gesture, however anecdotal, is a lack of respect for the Blue colors.
Letacek, who until Getafe’s elimination had been a starter in the Copa del Rey, putting in good performances and keeping a clean sheet in several matches, seems to have generated controversy with this public display of support for Atlético. His time at the Metropolitano, beyond the quarter-final match, has given much to talk about. What is clear is that the passion for Atleti transcends borders and professions.

Diego Godín, a legend of Atlético de Madrid, has come out in defense of Diego Simeone after the team’s elimination in the Copa del Rey. At an event where LaLiga presented its special ‘Orbyta Fuego’ ball for the end of the season, Godín, along with Guti and Negredo, analyzed the present and future of the championship.
Despite the cup setback, Godín was optimistic about Simeone’s ability to lift the team. ‘If anyone is capable of lifting the team it is Simeone. He has always pulled the boat and straightened the course’, he said.
The Uruguayan emphasized that Cholo’s cycle at Atlético will last as long as he has the enthusiasm and desire to continue. ‘Cholo’s cycle will last until he wants to’, Godín sentenced, highlighting the quality of the current squad.

“The Left Flank
The left flank of Atlético de Madrid has been a source of instability for Simeone during the season, generating constant tactical and player changes. Reinildo and Galán have been the most used at full-back, although with varying performances, while Azpilicueta has also occupied that position in some matches.
The bet on Reinildo and Giuliano in the match against Barcelona did not give the expected results, leading Simeone to make quick adjustments in the scheme. Players like Lino and Gallagher, who had been prominent in other matches, saw their minutes reduced, highlighting the coach’s constant search for solutions.
This situation reflects Simeone’s doubts and the need to reinforce that area of the field in the future. The lack of a consolidated left-back has become a priority for the club ahead of the transfer market.
As for the left winger, the alternation between Gallagher and Lino has not been convincing, added to the lack of continuity of Riquelme and the brief experiment with Giuliano. Faced with this panorama, Atlético de Madrid has the task of finding a left-back who provides defensive solidity and offensive projection, as well as a winger who unbalances and generates scoring opportunities. Solving this “hole” on the left flank presents a key challenge for the future of the team.

The International Union of Atlético de Madrid fan clubs has raised its voice against UEFA, accusing it of manipulating a key video from the Champions League match against Madrid.
According to a forensic report commissioned by the group, the video of Julián Álvarez’s penalty would have been edited, raising serious doubts about the transparency of the European organization.
The Union demands a public explanation and the disclosure of the original video and audio to clarify what happened. The report, prepared by expert engineers, points to anomalies in the file structure, alterations in the image sequence and the absence of sound content, indicating that the video was processed or recoded after its initial capture.

The team, led by Fernando Torres, showed a great reaction after complicated weeks, surpassing Intercity in a match where the youth academy shone brightly.

Atlético de Madrid has experienced a complicated month, marked by elimination in three key competitions. A slump that contrasts with the brilliant streak of 15 consecutive victories between October and January.
The Champions League, with the elimination against Real Madrid, has been an emotional blow difficult to overcome. The individual performance of some key players has been below expectations. Antoine Griezmann, despite being the player with the most minutes, has seen his scoring ability decrease.
Others like Lino, De Paul and Giuliano have also shown lower performance than usual. Specific errors and the lack of effectiveness of the bench have contributed to this slump. Missed penalties and controversial referee decisions have affected the team in crucial moments.

Despite an uneven performance, Saúl stands out as one of Sevilla’s most productive attacking players, accumulating six assists and one goal in LaLiga.
Coach García Pimienta left him on the bench in the derby against Betis due to physical discomfort, recalling that in the first leg at the Metropolitano, recently recovered from an injury, he only played the final minutes.

Atlético de Madrid faces Sevilla at a crucial moment in the season, seeking to recover from their recent Champions League elimination and improve their position in the table. The team travels to the Sánchez-Pizjuán with low morale, but with the opportunity to close the gap in the league.
Cholo Simeone is forced to make significant changes to the starting eleven due to injuries to Lino and De Paul, and suspensions to Giménez and Correa. In goal, Oblak returns after Musso’s participation in the Copa.
The defense features Le Normand and Lenglet in the center, while on the flanks, Galán could have the advantage over Reinildo on the left. The right side will depend on Llorente’s position, with Azpilicueta and Nahuel as alternatives.
In midfield, De Paul’s absence opens a gap that Barrios could fill, possibly accompanied by Koke, if he is fit. Otherwise, Llorente could occupy that position, creating a vacancy on the right flank. Giuliano Simeone aims for the right wing, while Gallagher has the advantage on the left.
In attack, Julián Alvarez is a definite starter and could be accompanied by Griezmann or Sorloth, who is looking for an opportunity as a starter. Atlético will have to be careful with yellow cards, as Julián, Koke, Barrios and Reinildo are one booking away from suspension and would miss the next home game against Valladolid if booked.

Atlético de Madrid receives a tough blow: De Paul and Lino join the list of injured players! Simeone will have to find creative solutions to replace these sensitive absences in the crucial match against Sevilla.
De Paul, a key player in the Rojiblanco midfield, suffered discomfort at the end of the match against Barcelona in the Cup, and tests confirmed the muscle injury. El Cholo must now decide who will accompany Barrios in the center of the field, with Llorente, Gallagher and Koke as possible alternatives.
The situation of Lino is different, since he did not participate in the Cup match, but he also has physical problems that prevent him from being available. The Brazilian has not managed to find his best form and Simeone has doubts about who will occupy the left wing, both in defense and in attack.
Several options have been tested, but none have managed to consolidate. Despite Koke’s recovery, the absences of Correa (sanctioned) and Giménez are added to these new setbacks. The team has no midweek commitments and will not compete again until April 14, when they host Valladolid at the Metropolitano. De Paul and Lino are awaiting evolution for that match.

According to Monchi, Cholo Simeone had managed to consolidate a project that allowed Atlético to compete head-to-head with the two giants and aspire to the League title. Monchi aspired for Sevilla to emulate that success, consolidating close to the leaders to take advantage of their weaknesses.
While Sevilla, after a brief period of glory and a title in 2023, has moved away from the leading positions and its economy has been affected, Atlético, under Simeone, has maintained a line of consistency and ambition.
Although the 2021 league title seems like a distant memory, the Colchoneros continue to be a formidable rival in every competition they play, demonstrating that Simeone’s project is a model of success and stability in Spanish football. Atlético has been able to build its own identity and a philosophy of play that have made it a respected and competitive team at national and international level.

“Isaac Romero
The young striker Isaac Romero presents an interesting challenge for Atlético de Madrid’s defense. Although his season has not been the most prolific in goals, the match against Atleti at the Metropolitano marked a turning point in his campaign.
It was in that match that the player was able to debut as a scorer, demonstrating his potential and ability to find the back of the net, although it was not enough to take the three points.
While it is true that after that match he has not had the expected goal-scoring consistency, with only two more goals in the League and one in the Copa del Rey, his dedication and fight on the field are undeniable.
In addition, his great goal against Valladolid was chosen as the goal of the day, demonstrating the quality he treasures in his boots. It is important to note that the problem of lack of goals is not exclusive to Isaac Romero, but affects other forwards on the team.
However, the Sevilla youth player is presented as one of the main hopes to reverse this situation. His motivation and desire to prove his worth will be an important weapon to try to beat Atlético de Madrid’s goal and bring joy to his fans. Atleti will have to be attentive and not underestimate this young talent who seeks to consolidate himself in the elite of Spanish football.

“Rayane Belaid
Atlético de Madrid’s youth academy continues to bear fruit. Rayane Belaid, the young midfielder, is getting closer and closer to his debut with the first team. After a standout performance with the reserve team, where he demonstrated his vision and assist capabilities in the last match, Rayane has been called up by Cholo.
His talent and dedication have not gone unnoticed, establishing himself as a key player in Atlético B and now with the opportunity to showcase his worth in La Liga.
Rayane, an international and champion of the Under-19 European Championship last summer, has already been called up on several occasions, including the match against Salzburg, Mallorca, and Cacereño.
Although he has not yet had the opportunity to take the field, his inclusion in the squad for the match against Sevilla is a clear sign that his debut is getting closer. His ability to generate play and his vision on the field make him a player to watch closely.
With his dynamic play and his ability to find spaces, Rayane brings freshness and creativity to the midfield. His recent performance with two assists demonstrates his potential to influence the game and create scoring opportunities. The Rojiblancos fans eagerly await to see him display his talent at the Metropolitano.

“Atleti vs. Sevilla
Atlético de Madrid faces Sevilla in a crucial moment of the season, seeking a revitalizing victory after a difficult period. The team arrives at the Sánchez-Pizjuán with low morale, but with the opportunity to move closer to the top spots in the table.
Simeone is forced to rethink the starting eleven due to the injuries of Lino and De Paul, as well as the suspensions of Giménez and Correa, which generates uncertainty in several lines of the field. In goal, Oblak is expected to return, seeking to reaffirm his position.
The defense will present forced changes with Le Normand and Lenglet in the center. On the flanks, Galán could have an advantage on the left, while Llorente’s position will be key to defining the right flank. The midfield also suffers modifications due to the absence of De Paul.
Koke could return to the eleven to lead the team, accompanied by Barrios. Giuliano Simeone is shaping up to occupy the right wing, with Gallagher as an option on the left. In attack, Julián Alvarez seems a sure starter, with the question of whether Griezmann or Sorloth will accompany him.
The match against Sevilla is presented as an important challenge for Atlético, who need to rediscover their best version and add three vital points. In addition, the team must be careful with cards, as Julián, Koke, Barrios and Reinildo are cautioned and could miss the next match at the Metropolitano against Valladolid.

Atlético de Madrid faces a new challenge in their visit to the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán. A crucial match where Los Colchoneros will seek to demonstrate their grit and ambition.

Sevilla, for its part, recovers important players such as Juanlu Sánchez and Suso, who overcame physical discomfort and are available for the match. In addition, García Pimienta will once again be able to count on Agoumé and Sow, after serving their suspension.
However, Atleti is not intimidated and trusts in their defensive solidity and offensive power to impose their game in the Sevilla stronghold. This match promises to be a clash of titans, where strategy and dedication will be decisive.

“Atlético Seeks Victory in Seville with Strategic Changes”
Atlético de Madrid is preparing for a crucial match in Seville, where they will seek to break the home team’s losing streak and consolidate their position in LaLiga. Sevilla’s coach, García Pimienta, plans a revolution in midfield after the derby, betting on the freshness and motivation of key players.
Sow and Agoumé are expected to return to the starting eleven, providing solidity and balance to the midfield. One of the big novelties could be the inclusion of Saúl, who would face his former team, adding extra intensity and experience to the match.
This tactical decision seeks to revitalize the Sevillian attack and generate scoring opportunities from the midfield. Although no further drastic changes are expected, there is a possibility that Ejuke will refresh the left wing, depending on Vargas’ physical condition.
In the attack, Akor Adams could compete for the position with Isaac, seeking greater punch and effectiveness in front of the opponent’s goal. Atlético arrives at this match with the mentality of adding three important points in their fight for the leading positions. A disputed encounter is expected in which strategy and intensity will be decisive for the final result.

Atlético de Madrid resurges in the Pizjuán with an agonizing victory against Sevilla. A hard-fought match, where the red and whites found light in the youth academy and the grit to not surrender.
After a complicated start, with an early goal from Sevilla, the team clung to a penalty transformed with mastery by Julián Álvarez, tying the score and renewing hope. The match, far from being a stroll, demanded the best version of players like Llorente and Gallagher, who did not stop running and pressing.
However, the match remained tense and with few ideas until Cholo’s changes, who sought revulsives on the bench. The entry of Koke brought solidity and control in midfield, while Riquelme injected freshness and boldness to the attack.
When the draw seemed inevitable, the figure of Pablo Barrios emerged. In added time, the youth player unleashed euphoria with a left-footed screamer that gave Atleti the victory. A goal worth gold, not only for the three points, but also for the injection of morale it means for the team and the fans.

“Atlético
Atlético de Madrid seeks to rise after a complicated month of March, where they said goodbye to the Champions League and the Copa del Rey, and saw their league aspirations jeopardized.
Cholo Simeone’s team travels with the imperative need to add points and regain sensations, especially after a league performance below expectations in the second round, which has diluted the illusion generated by the summer signings.
The match comes at a delicate moment, with important absentees such as Giménez and Correa due to suspension, added to other last-minute absences. Simeone will have to recompose the team and motivate his players to leave behind recent setbacks and focus on the nine remaining League matches and the Club World Cup.
On an individual level, the spotlight is on the goal, where Oblak seeks to consolidate his candidacy for the Zamora, despite having received a high number of goals in recent matches. Also noteworthy is the situation of Saúl, on loan at Sevilla, who seeks to rediscover his best version after an irregular period. Atlético needs a victory to heal recent wounds and face the immediate future with optimism.

“Vitolo
Vitolo, a name that resonates strongly in the memory of Spanish football fans, especially among Sevilla and, of course, Atlético de Madrid supporters.
This talented player, after shining brightly at the Seville club, where he conquered three Europa Leagues and established himself as a fixture in the Spanish national team, sparked the interest of ‘Cholo’ Simeone, who incorporated him into the Red and White project.
His arrival at Atlético generated great expectation, seeking to replicate the imbalance and quality he demonstrated at the Sánchez Pizjuán. However, his trajectory at the Madrid club was marked by inconsistency and, above all, by injuries.
After a difficult start, with a loan to Las Palmas, Vitolo never managed to reach his full potential at the Metropolitano. Despite flashes of quality and effort, injuries prevented him from establishing himself as an undisputed starter and showing the level that had catapulted him to the elite.
After a brief stint at Getafe and a return to Las Palmas, where he also failed to find continuity due to his physical problems, Vitolo moved away from the pitch. In 2024, he confirmed his retirement from professional football, ending a career that, while full of brilliant moments, was marked by constant injuries. Today, away from professional football, Vitolo enjoys other activities and has focused his energies on sports projects for young talents.

“Barrios, the Red and White Lighthouse in the Storm”
In a complicated month for Atlético de Madrid, with painful eliminations and adverse results, the figure of Pablo Barrios emerges as a ray of hope. The youth player has proven to be a fundamental pillar in midfield, exhibiting personality, talent, and commendable physical display against rivals of the stature of Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Barrios has played a large number of minutes in key matches, adapting perfectly to the pivot position and demonstrating maturity beyond his age. His ability to recover balls, distribute the game, and offer solutions in moments of pressure makes him a vital player for the team.
In the Metropolitano derby, Barrios was Atlético’s player with the most passes and the second-highest ball winner, forming a great duo with De Paul. Against Barcelona, both in the League and in the Cup, he also stood out as one of the top passers and ball winners, contributing both in the creation of the game and in defensive solidity.
His commitment and dedication are undeniable, making it clear that he holds nothing back in each game. Barrios fights every ball, offers oxygen to his teammates, and shows himself as a key piece in the team’s scheme.
With a promising future ahead, the club has the pending task of improving his contract. He currently has 94 appearances with Atlético, approaching his presence on the Paseo de los Centenarios, in addition to being taken into account by Luis de la Fuente for future calls with the Spanish national team. Undoubtedly, the emergence of Barrios is one of the best news for Atlético, a light that illuminates the path in difficult times.

Atlético de Madrid isn’t giving up! A late goal by Barrios in Sevilla has injected a new dose of optimism into the Rojiblancos fans. Although the road is difficult, the victory, added to the stumbles of their rivals, adds up to eight points of hope.
The current standings show Barça with 67, Madrid with 63 and Atlético with 60, but with eight games remaining, anything is possible! For the illusion to become reality, Atleti must win all their remaining matches.
Fortunately, the schedule seems favorable, with away games to Las Palmas, Vitoria, Pamplona and Girona. But success doesn’t depend only on Atlético; their rivals must also yield.
And here lies the hope: Barça and Madrid have important distractions, including a direct clash in LaLiga, the Copa del Rey final and their possible commitments in the Champions League. Meanwhile, Atlético will focus on LaLiga match by match, taking advantage of their rivals’ distractions.
The championship has been a roller coaster, but Atleti is back in the fight. Barça seemed unstoppable, but they have stumbled. Madrid has shown irregularity. LaLiga is more alive than ever, and Atlético is willing to give it their all until the end!

Atlético de Madrid achieved an important and well-deserved victory at the Sánchez-Pizjuán, a balm after the tough blows suffered in recent matches. Despite a difficult start with Agoumé’s goal, the Rojiblancos showed character and rebellion to reverse the situation.
The first half was discreet, but in the second half, Cholo Simeone’s successful tactical changes energized the Colchonero attack, overwhelming a Sevilla that did not know how to react. The entry of Javi Galán and Llorente provided depth on the wings, while Koke provided clarity and order in the midfield.
Sorloth, fixing the central defenders, freed Julián, generating constant problems for the Sevilla defense. Julián’s versatility is an important asset for the future, a player capable of adapting to different roles in the attack.
The Rojiblancos’ siege found its reward with a great goal from Barrios, who demonstrated his quality and power after weeks of uncertainty. Roro also brought freshness and boldness in the minutes he played.
Atlético demonstrated personality and ambition, seeking the match with determination despite recent defeats.

“Worry in Seville
A bittersweet match for Atlético de Madrid on their visit to Seville. Beyond the result, the match left a worrying image: the injury of Rubén Vargas, the Swiss winger of Sevilla.
The player, who had starred in a brilliant play by inventing a heel pass that led to the first goal of the match, had to leave the field just ten minutes later due to a muscle tear in the hamstrings of his right leg. The technical gesture, of great quality, ended up taking its toll.
Although medical tests are still awaited to determine the exact extent of the injury, the concern is evident, as he could miss the rest of the season. Despite the bad news, Sevilla has alternatives in that position, such as Ejuke and Idumbo. In addition, sporting director Víctor Orta has closed the incorporation of Alfon, who can also play on that wing, from next season. However, Vargas’ absence represents a major setback for the Sevillian team.

Atleti doesn’t give up and shows that they will fight every match. After a few stumbles, this victory is a shot of energy for the Rojiblancos. The team showed character and overcame the stadium jinx.
Julián Alvarez, with composure and precision, scored from the penalty spot, proving that pressure doesn’t affect him. He already has 24 goals this season and his performance continues to rise. Gallagher also left good impressions, causing the penalty and contributing his power to the attack.
Although he had a couple of mistakes, his energy is vital for the team. Great news the return of Koke! The captain returned to the starting eleven and his hierarchy and experience in midfield were noticeable. His return is essential to give balance to the team in this final stretch of the season.
In addition, Lemar added minutes and Riquelme showed his quality in the time he was on the field. There is a lot of talent in this Atleti! Great Saúl, who showed his commitment to Atleti in the most difficult moments. Keep fighting, Atleti! It’s not over yet!

The meeting is at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán, where a massive demonstration of discontent is expected. The fans feel that their demands are ignored and that the club is on a dangerous course. The recent Shareholders’ Meeting, where José María del Nido Carrasco surpassed his father, has not calmed the spirits.

Let’s dream of the semi-finals, which grant an additional 15 million euros, and the grand final, where the finalists will pocket 18.5 million euros, with a bonus of 6.5 million for the champion!

Barrios described the goal as the most important of his career, reflecting the personal and collective significance of the moment. The coaching staff, led by Simeone, and his teammates, like Koke, had pointed out the need for Barrios to contribute goals to the team.
Koke, who gave him more passes than anyone else in the game, joked that it was about time Barrios scored, celebrating his growth and his role in the team.

“Puado in Atlético’s sights
Atlético de Madrid has set its sights on Javi Puado, Espanyol’s striker whose contract ends next June 30. The player, who has not yet renewed with the Perico club, is valued by the Rojiblanca sports management as a possible market opportunity to strengthen the attack.
Although not an absolute priority at this time, the club is attentive to his situation, especially given possible movements in the squad, such as Correa’s situation. Puado, Espanyol’s top scorer with ten goals in the League, is a player with a lot of poster and suitors, including Sevilla and Premier League clubs.
Atlético already knows his conditions and has him monitored, aware of his potential and that he would arrive at zero cost. It is known that the sports management, headed by Carlos Bucero, is planning the next season, and the arrival of reinforcements will be conditional on the departures that occur.
The club needs to reinforce several positions, including the defense and midfield, but the attack is a priority, especially if there are important casualties such as Griezmann or Correa.
In this context, the figure of Puado emerges as an interesting option, a player with a present and future who could contribute a lot to the Rojiblanco team. Although he is not considered a first sword, his profile fits with the club’s philosophy and his arrival at zero cost would be a great opportunity for Atlético.

Atleti’s schedule is lightening, while Barcelona and Real Madrid face European and cup commitments that could take their toll. A direct clash between them on matchday 35 could be key. Atleti, focused on its own path, avoids talking about long-term goals.
Simeone insists that La Liga is decided in the final matches, and the team is now focused on the match against Valladolid. Good news also comes from the infirmary. The team is recovering important players. Captain Koke returned showing a good level.
The team also appreciates the good minutes of Riquelme and Lemar, always willing to give it their all. Correa is about to return after his suspension.

Philipp Lahm, a Bayern Munich legend, has praised Diego Simeone’s Atlético de Madrid in a recent opinion column, highlighting the Rojiblancos as a role model for Italian teams looking to regain their prominence in Europe.
Lahm, after analyzing the Bayern-Inter Milan tie, reflects on the current state of Italian football, pointing to a lack of intensity, commitment, and athletic ability compared to other European leagues such as Spanish, English, French, and German.
The former Bavarian captain laments that Italian teams have lost dynamism and competitiveness, which is reflected in the absence of world-class players like Baggio, Del Piero, or Maldini. However, Lahm offers a solution inspired by Simeone’s Atlético de Madrid.
He recalls the 2016 Champions League tie, where Atlético eliminated Bayern with relentless intensity over 180 minutes. Lahm emphasizes that defensive football can still be successful, but it must be combined with recovery power, constant activity in possession, and a relentless spirit of conquest and attack, in the Simeone style. Ultimately, for Lahm, Italy should play like Atlético, learning from the passion and commitment that characterize Cholo’s team.

This measure seeks to isolate the team from external tensions and foster a serene and focused working environment. All training sessions until the match will be held behind closed doors, allowing the team to work on strategy and cohesion without distractions.
The rival team faces a complicated streak, but will seek to spring a surprise at the Metropolitano. The match, scheduled for Monday at 9:00 PM, is vital for the aspirations of the rival team and promises to be an intense and disputed clash.
Atlético, with the support of its fans, will seek to impose its game and add three important points in this decisive stage of the season. The rival has a series of important matches ahead, both at home and away, but the match against Atlético is presented as a major challenge.

The International Union of Atlético de Madrid Fan Clubs is not giving up its fight against UEFA. After the controversial penalty incident involving Julián Álvarez at the Metropolitano, the Union is considering suing the European body, arguing alleged manipulation of the images of the incident.
According to the Union, forensic reports commissioned reveal that UEFA edited the images released after the match between Atlético and Real Madrid, with the aim of justifying the decision of referee Marciniak.
This issue has resurfaced on social networks after a Champions League match, where a possible double hit of the ball by Rice, an Arsenal player, was pointed out. Atlético fans, with good humor and without forgetting the Álvarez penalty scandal, believe that the situation deserves a strong response from the club.
The Union and various Atlético de Madrid groups are considering meeting to make a final decision on whether or not to file a formal complaint against UEFA. The general feeling among supporters is to support taking the case to the ultimate consequences, seeking to clarify what happened and defend the interests of the club. The ‘colchonera’ fans, always loyal and combative, hope that justice will be done.

“Colchonero Target
Atlético de Madrid has set its sights on two Espanyol talents who promise to strengthen the Colchonero squad. Joan García, the young goalkeeper, has proven to be a wall between the posts, attracting attention for his outstanding performances and reflexes.
His possible arrival would bring security and competition to the Rojiblanca goal. But he is not the only Perico player that interests the Madrid club. Javi Puado, the captain and striker, has reached ten goals this season, showing his goalscoring ability and versatility in attack.
His profile perfectly matches Cholo’s philosophy: hardworking, fighter and adaptable. In addition, his father has Madrid roots and a football career in the First Division, a plus that adds appeal to his possible signing.
Puado, described as the “perfect son-in-law” for his commitment and dedication, already demonstrated his loyalty to Espanyol by rejecting an offer from Real Madrid Castilla in the past. Now, with the possibility of becoming a free agent, Atlético could have a unique opportunity to acquire his services. His winning character and ability to overcome adversity make him an ideal player for the club’s competitive spirit. Undoubtedly, two names to follow closely.

“Pucela Fans Present at the Metropolitano”
Despite the unfavorable schedule and league position, Real Valladolid fans will be present at the Metropolitano to support their team on matchday 31. Atlético de Madrid made 400 tickets available at a price of 30 euros, but ultimately 189 brave souls will travel to Madrid.
The schedule set by La Liga, a Monday at 9:00 PM in the middle of Holy Week, has made the trip difficult for many fans, considering it is a working day. However, the passion for the team remains intact, once again demonstrating the unconditional support of the Blanquivioleta fans.
To facilitate travel, the supporters’ club federation has organized a bus trip with affordable prices of 10 euros for members and 15 euros for the general public. Departure is scheduled for Monday at 3:30 PM from the Trade Fair, ensuring the return after the match. Despite the adversities, Pucela fans will be present at the Metropolitano, cheering on their team with their usual passion. An example of loyalty and commitment!

Atlético de Madrid, with high morale after the recent victory, is already focused on its next challenge: the match against Valladolid at the Metropolitano. Simeone and his technical team have returned to work with the aim of refining the strategy and maintaining the intensity that characterizes the Rojiblancos.
Despite the initial absences of De Paul and Lino due to physical discomfort, the coaching staff remains hopeful of having them in the near future. De Paul, a key piece in midfield, could rejoin soon, although unnecessary risks will be avoided.
Lino is also recovering favorably. Regarding absences, Correa will serve his last match of suspension, while Giménez returns to the team after overcoming his suspension. With the elimination from the Champions League, Simeone has more time to experiment and find the best possible lineup.
The team will take advantage of these days to refine tactical and physical details, seeking to arrive in optimal condition for the match against Valladolid. The squad is optimistic and determined to continue fighting in each game, with the illusion of bringing joy to the Atlético fans.

“Koke
Koke, the eternal captain, remains crucial for Atlético de Madrid. Despite not always being in the starting eleven, his influence on the field is undeniable. After an injury that kept him away for nine matches, the Rojiblancos suffered key defeats that highlighted his absence.
While Atlético achieved some important victories without him, including one against Real Madrid, Koke’s absence was especially felt in the Champions League and Copa del Rey elimination. His return to the team, in a match that was tied, injected new energy into the midfield.
In just 35 minutes, Koke led the team in recoveries and demonstrated his passing accuracy, allowing teammates like Barrios and Gallagher to deploy more freely in attack. His experience and leadership are fundamental to guide the team and for the growth of young talents like Barrios, who is learning to master the pivot position.
Koke not only brings tactical rigor and work, but also restores automatisms and harmony in Atlético’s game. With the captain at the helm, the team recovers its identity and solidity in the Metropolitano and away from it. His return excites the fans with the possibility of fighting in the final stretch of the League.

Legends of Atleti! We remember a historic milestone that makes the Rojiblanca fans proud: the conquest of the Intercontinental Cup in 1975. A world title with the flavor of a feat, since Atlético, led by the unforgettable Luis Aragonés, won the trophy without having won the European Cup.
After a brilliant season that culminated with winning the League title in 1973, the team qualified for the 73-74 European Cup, where they demonstrated their claw eliminating renowned rivals. However, they failed to lift the coveted trophy.
The Intercontinental Cup was presented as a unique opportunity. Bayern Munich, European champion, declined to participate, opening the doors to Atlético. The team was not at its best, but the illusion of a world title was a powerful incentive.
The first leg in Argentina was difficult (1-0). But the return leg at the Calderón was a magical night. With a spectacular atmosphere and a plugged-in team, Atleti came back with goals from Irureta and Ayala (2-0), sealing a historic victory and proclaiming themselves world champions. An unforgettable memory for all Atlético fans, which demonstrates the greatness and fighting spirit of our club.

Since winning the Intercontinental Cup, Atlético de Madrid has undergone a spectacular transformation. The club has established itself as a European giant, expanding its trophy cabinet with four La Liga titles, six Copa del Rey titles, two Spanish Super Cups, three Europa League titles, and three European Super Cups.
An enviable record that demonstrates the team’s ambition and fighting spirit! Atleti has proven capable of competing head-to-head with the big teams, snatching titles and leaving its mark on continental football.
In addition, the club has adapted to the new times, with a powerful women’s section that is a source of pride for the fans. The women compete at the highest level, winning titles and demonstrating the club’s commitment to equality and female talent.
The Metropolitano, modern and spectacular, has become a symbol of this new era. With a capacity of 70,000 spectators, the stadium vibrates with every match and hosts world-class events. And what about the fans…
simply unmatched! From those 50,000 members dreamed of by Vicente Calderón, today we are 150,000 red and white souls who carry Atleti in our hearts. A loyal and passionate social base that grows day by day, spreading its love for the club to new generations.

Brazilian flavor with Red and White DNA! Gio and Luany, Atlético de Madrid players, were key in Brazil’s historic victory over the United States. The forwards shone brightly in the match played in San José, demonstrating their excellent form.
Gio, an undisputed starter, assisted Kerolin for the 1-1 with a spectacular play, while Luany, in her debut with the senior national team, gave a goal pass to Amanda Gutierres for the definitive 1-2 in added time.
Brazilian social networks celebrated the victory with enthusiasm, highlighting that Brazil broke the streak of not being able to beat the United States on their own territory. This triumph was even more significant for Gio and Luany, who demonstrated their connection and talent at the service of the ‘Canarinha’.
Previously, Brazil had lost to the United States, a match in which Gio started, but Luany did not have minutes. In the second match, Luany debuted and demonstrated her worth by assisting Amanda Gutierres.
Gio, with her dribbling and vision of the game, had already provoked the tie with an assist to Kerolin. But it was Luany who, in added time, sealed the victory with a precise pass to Amanda Gutierres. The Red and White samba resonated strongly on the field. With ten goals and seven assists combined this season with Atlético, Gio and Luany arrive in an optimal moment for Sunday’s crucial match against Barça.

“Luis and Simeone
The history of Atlético de Madrid is written with proper names: Luis Aragonés and Diego Pablo Simeone. Two legends who have marked the club both on and off the field. Aragonés, with 982 matches between player and coach, conquered the Intercontinental Cup, a milestone that placed Atleti at the top of world football.
Simeone, with 900 matches and counting, now seeks to emulate that feat in the upcoming Club World Cup. Aragonés, after suddenly hanging up his boots, took on the challenge of leading the team and quickly led them to the Intercontinental title.
Now, Simeone has the opportunity to achieve something similar. Atlético will participate in the Club World Cup, a tournament with a renewed format. Although different from that final against Independiente, Cholo aspires to add another world title to the club’s history.
While the Champions League has been resisted, with two finals lost in a cruel way, Simeone does not cease in his efforts to continue taking Atlético to the top. The legacy of Luis and Cholo is indelible at the Metropolitano and in the hearts of every rojiblanco fan.
Their passion, dedication and love for the club have made them eternal symbols. Atleti would not be understood without them, two figures who represent the essence of the Atlético sentiment.

Atlético de Madrid is preparing to host its rival in matchday 31, a crucial game where every point counts. To officiate this important match, Isidro Díaz de Mera Escuderos has been appointed, a referee with experience in the top flight.
This will be the third time this season that Díaz de Mera has coincided with the other team. In the 14 matches he has refereed this season, Díaz de Mera has already crossed paths with Atlético de Madrid on two occasions: a 1-1 draw against Real Sociedad and a 1-0 home victory against Osasuna.
Díaz de Mera, who is in his fifth season in the First Division, is characterized as a referee who does not hesitate to show yellow cards. In the 14 matchdays he has directed so far, he has shown a total of 76 cautions, which is equivalent to an average of 5.4 per game.
Figueroa Vázquez will assist in the VAR. We are confident that, with the unconditional support of our fans at the Metropolitano, the team will achieve a positive result and continue to add important points in the fight for its goals.

In the morning training session in Majadahonda, the Argentine coach could not count on De Paul and Lino, whose recoveries are being managed with caution to ensure their availability in the near future, possibly for the match against Las Palmas.
The rest of the squad worked with great intensity, divided into groups to fine-tune the strategy. The eleven that is shaping up for the crucial match at the Metropolitano includes Oblak in goal, a solid defense with Llorente, Giménez, Lenglet, and Javi Galán.
In midfield, Koke returns to contribute his experience, accompanied by Giuliano, Barrios, and Gallagher, who continues to play as a left interior. The attacking duo would be formed by Julián Alvarez and Griezmann, seeking the connection that drives the team towards victory.
Simeone was very active during training, closely monitoring every detail and demanding maximum intensity in the exercises. The team is aware of the importance of adding the three points to continue aspiring to the top of the table. Atlético is going all out in search of the comeback!

50 years ago, Atlético de Madrid conquered the world. On April 10, 1975, the Metropolitano vibrated with an epic victory against Independiente de Avellaneda, granting the club the title of Intercontinental Cup.
After falling 1-0 in Argentina, the team led by Luis Aragonés came back with determination and passion at home. The starting eleven, with names like Pacheco, Heredia, Irureta, and Ayala, will be engraved in the red and white memory.
Irureta leveled the tie, but it was Ayala’s goal in the 85th minute that unleashed euphoria. A goal that, as the anthem says, resonated from the stands when kissing the net. Ayala remembers with emotion how he felt that this final was destined to be theirs.
Aragonés’ strategy was key, nullifying the key figures of Independiente and allowing Gárate and Ayala to shine in attack. Iñaki Pacheco, son of goalkeeper José Pacheco, recalls his father’s pride in having been a starter in a match he defined as “for the brave”.
That Atlético showed courage by traveling to Argentina in a complicated geopolitical context and overcoming the initial defeat. It was a team that shook off the thorn of the European Cup final. A title that crowned Atlético as the best team in the world, a feat that continues to inspire generations of Atlético fans.

“Mario Martín
Mario Martín, on loan to Real Valladolid, has become a name that resonates strongly among Atlético fans, although not exactly for playing at the Metropolitano. The young midfielder, despite his talent and dedication, leads the ranking of expulsions this season.
His recent red card against Getafe prevents him from facing Atlético, a special match for any Real Madrid academy player. This is the fourth suspension he has faced this season, adding three direct expulsions and one for accumulation of yellow cards.
His first expulsion came on matchday 5 against Celta, followed by another against Real Madrid, his parent club, and the one mentioned against Getafe. Despite these forced absences, Mario Martín has been an important piece in Valladolid’s scheme, totaling 1,553 minutes in 25 matches, under the baton of three different coaches.
In fact, he is the sixth player with the most minutes played in the team, surpassing other teammates. Beyond the cards, Mario Martín demonstrates commitment and claw in each match, qualities that Atlético fans know how to appreciate in a player.
His intensity on the field, although sometimes it plays tricks on him, reflects the passion he feels for football. Without a doubt, a player who generates debate and emotions, and whose future promises to be interesting, regardless of the color of his shirt.

“Riquelme resurges and claims prominence in Atlético”
Rodrigo Riquelme, a homegrown player, has re-emerged in Simeone’s plans in this final stretch of the season. After a period with little participation, Riquelme has played minutes in the last league matches, demonstrating his value and commitment to the team.
Although he ranks 21st in minutes played in the squad, Riquelme has taken every opportunity to show his verticality, speed, and generosity in effort. His positive attitude and constant search for the goal make him an important boost for the Colchoneros’ attack.
His playing style is reminiscent of Griezmann’s, making him a valuable option for Simeone. The season has not been easy for Riquelme, who saw his participation reduced after an incident in a match against Mallorca. However, his professionalism and dedication in training did not diminish.
Despite receiving offers in January, Riquelme chose to stay at the club and fight for a place in the team he loves. Now, with the coach’s renewed confidence, Riquelme is focused on making the most of this end of the season and contributing to Atlético’s goal in La Liga.

Atlético de Madrid is finalizing details for its next match, with Simeone fine-tuning the strategy in a waterlogged training session. The good news is the partial reincorporation of De Paul, who, although absent against Valladolid, is progressing in his recovery for future commitments.
El Cholo tested variants in the starting eleven, highlighting the inclusion of Sorloth in place of Griezmann during part of the training, hinting at the only doubt in the starting lineup.
Oblak is shaping up as the safe bet under the posts, backed by a defense made up of Marcos Llorente, Giménez, Lenglet, and Javi Galán. In midfield, Giuliano, Barrios, Koke, and Gallagher provide balance and creativity, while in attack, Julián Alvarez accompanies Griezmann or Sorloth, depending on Simeone’s final decision.
In addition to the already known absences of Lino and Correa, the absence of De Paul is added. Simeone has insisted on the importance of mobility and speed in the circulation of the ball, seeking to destabilize a rival who will predictably set up with a solid defense in the Metropolitano. The rojiblanco team faces the match with maximum respect towards Valladolid, aware of the need to add important points.

The Atlético family is united in defense of its interests. The International Union of Fan Clubs, in a gesture of unity and strength, has added three important rojiblancos groups – Señales de Humo, the rojiblanco Senate, and Los 50 – to undertake joint legal actions against UEFA.
The goal is clear: to defend Atleti against controversial decisions that, in their opinion, harm the club. The spark that ignited this initiative was the controversial play of the Julián Alvarez penalty in the match against Madrid.
The Union, from the first moment, raised its voice demanding explanations from UEFA. Now, with the support of Señales de Humo, the rojiblanco Senate, and Los 50, the fight intensifies. A marathon meeting sealed the agreement between the parties, who have decided to join forces and file a formal complaint.
Both the Union and Señales de Humo have presented expert reports that supposedly confirm the manipulation of the penalty images by UEFA. To carry out this legal battle, a working group composed of prestigious lawyers has been created, who will design the most appropriate legal strategy to file the complaint as soon as possible. The Atlético fans, more united than ever, hope that this joint action will clarify the facts and defend the rights of the club.

“Atleti Remembers the Intercontinental Feat
Atlético de Madrid proudly celebrates the 50th anniversary of its Intercontinental Cup, a title that signified sweet revenge after the bitter end in Brussels. That goal by Schwarzenbeck in the last gasp of extra time, which equalized Luis’s formidable free-kick goal, left the team psychologically affected.
The defeat in the play-off match was a hard blow. This fact led to the dismissal of Juan Carlos Lorenzo, and the arrival of Luis Aragonés to the rojiblanco bench. With a firm hand, Luis imposed new rules, marking the beginning of an era.
The Intercontinental was presented as his first great test. Atleti accessed the tournament due to the resignation of Bayern, European champion. In an era where South American teams imposed a very physical game, some European champions declined to participate.
However, Atlético, with its large presence of Argentine players, was not intimidated. After falling 1-0 in Argentina against Independiente, the rojiblanco team came back in the Manzanares with goals from Irureta and Ayala, conquering the title.
The image of Adelardo lifting the Intercontinental, on Capón’s shoulders, is an unforgettable symbol in the athletic memory. The club does well to remember this moment, because collective memory is the essence of the institution.

During the presentation of the IX edition of the Vicente del Bosque Villa de Alalpardo Cadet Football Tournament, Cerezo expressed his incomprehension at the referee’s decision, arguing that there are no clear images to justify the annulment.
Cerezo was critical of VAR, pointing out that it is not fulfilling the objectives for which it was designed. Despite elimination from the Champions League and Copa, and with La Liga seemingly uphill, the Atlético president conveyed an optimistic and combative message.
“A few days ago they were writing us off, and now it turns out we’re back in it,” Cerezo declared, reaffirming the team’s ambition to fight for the league title. The president concluded with a motivating phrase, reflecting the fighting spirit that characterizes Atlético: “The harder it is, the easier for us.”

“Lenglet
Atlético de Madrid is seriously considering the possibility of acquiring Clement Lenglet on a permanent basis. The French central defender, on loan from Barcelona, has gained prominence in Simeone’s scheme, becoming an important player in the team.
His good performance, especially after Le Normand’s injury, has opened the doors to the starting eleven, where he has demonstrated his value. Lenglet, with 29 games played and 2 goals, provides a clean ball exit from the defense, a plus for Atlético’s game.
Despite some isolated errors, his overall performance has convinced Cholo, who values his commitment and professionalism. The Rojiblanco club faces a summer of important decisions, with the Club World Cup on the horizon. Lenglet’s continuity is a priority.
Barcelona, for its part, needs to release the player, which could facilitate the negotiation. However, Lenglet’s good performance at Atlético has revalued his card, which could complicate negotiations.
The next few weeks will be decisive in determining whether Atlético decides to make an economic effort to ensure the permanence of the French central defender. His starting position in recent games is a sign of the confidence that Simeone places in him and a clear message to the club’s board about his importance in the team.

Miguel Ángel Moyá, former goalkeeper and current commentator, reflects on his career and his present away from the pitch. After his retirement in 2021, the Balearic Islander enjoys commentating on football, an activity that allows him to remain linked to his passion, albeit in a more relaxed way.
Moyá claims to enjoy life more now than when he was a professional footballer. He values the freedom that his new stage gives him, allowing him to dedicate time to his family, hobbies such as paddle tennis, and other plans.
He fondly remembers his time at Atlético, where he arrived after rejecting previous offers. He highlights the confidence that Cholo gave him, allowing him to play important matches until an injury halted his progress. He cherishes the Spanish Super Cup he won.
His departure from the club was unexpected, but he positively values his experience at Real Sociedad. Asked about Atlético’s present, Moyá acknowledges that the season has been unfair, as the team has experienced a downturn at key moments.
However, he highlights the high level shown by Oblak, who has recovered his best form. However, he believes that the League title is practically out of the team’s reach, although he does not rule out any surprises. Moyá regrets not having been able to be an international player, something he would have liked to experience. However, he is satisfied and grateful for his professional career.

Atlético de Madrid’s reserve team faces a crucial derby against Castilla, with both teams fighting to secure a spot in the promotion playoff to the Second Division. The match is presented as an all-or-nothing affair, especially for Castilla, who need to break their streak of draws to keep their aspirations alive.
With six consecutive draws, Los Blancos are in urgent need of a victory to avoid saying goodbye to the playoff. Atlético B, led by Fernando Torres, arrives at the match with a slight advantage in the standings, three points ahead of Castilla.
Torres could repeat the starting eleven that defeated Intercity in the previous matchday, relying on the talent of Rayane, a key player in the Colchonero scheme. Atleti B stands out for its defensive solidity, being one of the teams that concedes the fewest goals in the category, although it has room for improvement in the scoring aspect.
The key to the match will be effectiveness in front of goal. Castilla needs its top scorer, Gonzalo, to regain his scoring touch after several games without scoring. Raúl recovers Manuel Ángel, his captain, for this important match. Atleti B will seek to take advantage of its balance between defense and attack to take a step forward in its playoff aspirations.

The coach has emphasized the importance of maintaining the unity and fighting spirit that characterize Atleti, especially at home in the Metropolitano, where the fans always play a fundamental role.
The coach has been working on strengthening the defense and enhancing the attack, seeking a balance that allows the team to be solid at the back and dangerous up front.
The opponent’s strengths have been analyzed, but above all, the emphasis has been on exploiting our own virtues, in that high-pressing game, quick recoveries, and dizzying transitions that the Colchonero fans love so much.
The squad is fully committed, aware of the demands involved in wearing the red and white. The players are ready to give their all on the field, fighting for every ball as if it were their last. The goal is clear: to score three points in each match and continue climbing positions in the table.

“Galán
Javi Galán’s season at Atlético has been a real rollercoaster. After a difficult start, the extremeño full-back managed to carve out a place in Simeone’s plans, becoming an important player in the Rojiblanco scheme.
However, a match in the Champions League against Madrid marked a turning point, causing him to lose the place he had worked so hard to earn. After that match, the left lane of Atlético became a carousel of names, with Reinildo and even Azpilicueta occupying that position.
Despite this, Galán did not give up and continued working to regain the confidence of the Argentine coach. With the season reaching its final stretch, Atlético seeks to consolidate its position in the League and take advantage of any opportunity that arises.
In this context, Galán faces the challenge of becoming a fixture again at left-back. Simeone needs him and trusts his ability to close the wing and provide security to the team. His first big test will be against Valladolid, where he will seek to prove that he is ready to recover his best level.
His opportunity to consolidate is there, ahead of other players like Lino or Julián. The fans are confident that Galán can resurge and become a key piece in Cholo’s scheme for the remainder of the season.

Atlético de Madrid is preparing for its next match with high morale and renewed confidence. Simeone and Griezmann had a chat on the training ground, showing the coach’s total support for the French striker, who has started the last 13 matches despite recent criticism.
El Cholo is confident that Griezmann will redeem himself against Valladolid, forming a striking partnership with Julián. The starting lineup will feature important changes.

In midfield, Giuliano, Barrios and Koke will lead the way, while Gallagher will accompany the attacking duo Julián-Griezmann in the creation of the offensive game. The team will seek victory with a balanced formation and a renewed attack, where the connection between Julián and Griezmann promises to be key to overcome the bottom team.

“Doubts in Valladolid Ahead of Atlético
The week in Valladolid has been marked by the incident between Luis Pérez and Latasa during the match against Getafe. The club has opened a file on both players and has removed the captain’s armband from Luis Pérez.
Although both players apologized, they face a fine for their behavior, which is considered very serious. The big question is whether Luis Pérez will be called up for the crucial match against Atlético.
Coach Álvaro Rubio has maintained the uncertainty, stating that he will make the final decision at the last moment. “Until tomorrow (for today) I will not make that decision. I always make the decisions at the end, I like to get to the last day.
I will have to make a list because I now have more players than can enter,” said Rubio. In recent games, Luis Pérez has not been a starter in Zorrilla, with Candela taking his place, although he has played as a visitor.
The player’s possible poor relationship with the fans could influence the coach’s decision. Atlético fans are expecting a hard-fought match, regardless of Valladolid’s final line-up. The professionalism and dedication that characterize Atlético will be key to facing this match.

In addition, he stands out in duels, both defensive and offensive, demonstrating his commitment and dedication in every action. With the competition in the squad, Gallagher is not satisfied and seeks to continue growing.
His connection with the fans and his desire to feel valued encourage him to give his best in every match.

“LaLiga Schedules
LaLiga schedules have generated controversy, especially for teams competing in Europe. A worrying trend has emerged: Spanish teams, including Atleti, often have to face LaLiga matches on Sunday before important Champions League commitments on Wednesday.
This contrasts with other major European leagues, such as the French or German, which tend to protect their teams more, bringing matches forward to Friday or even postponing them altogether.
This season, a high percentage of teams that played in the Champions League on Wednesday had played their LaLiga match on Sunday, with Spanish clubs being the most affected. This situation creates a considerable physical and strategic disadvantage for Atleti and other Spanish teams in European competitions.
Despite the RFEF regulations contemplating the possibility of bringing matches forward to Saturday when there are European commitments the following week, this option is not always applied equitably.
Specific cases show an inconsistency in the application of this regulation, generating unease and questioning the scheduling planning. The recent controversy with the Copa del Rey final schedule is a clear example of the need for greater attention to this issue, seeking a balance that benefits all teams and ensures the best possible representation of LaLiga in international competitions. Forza Atleti!

Atlético de Madrid left its mark in Zorrilla in a first-round match that had direct consequences on Real Valladolid’s bench. The resounding victory not only added three important points for the team, but also precipitated the departure of Paulo Pezzolano as coach of the blanquivioleta team.
The match, corresponding to matchday 15 of La Liga, highlighted the shortcomings of a Real Valladolid that was already going through a delicate situation. The defeat at home acted as the straw that broke the camel’s back for a board that saw the team sink in the standings.

Álvarez has proven his worth in all competitions, scoring 14 goals in La Liga, 7 in the Champions League, and 5 in the Copa del Rey. In addition, he has contributed with 5 assists, proving that he is a complete and key player for the team.
His goals and passes have been essential for Atlético to compete at the highest level. Let’s remember that Hasselbaink, Salva, and Falcao left an indelible mark on Atlético with their spectacular goalscoring debuts.
Now, Julián Álvarez seeks to emulate them and build his own legend at the Metropolitano. At 25 years old, a market value of 90 million, and a contract until 2030, he has everything to succeed. Álvarez has integrated perfectly into the team, earning the affection of his teammates and the fans. His adaptation to Cholo’s style has been remarkable, exceeding expectations in his first year. Without a doubt, we have a star in Atlético for a long time!

“Pucelano Analysis
Real Valladolid faces a bleak future, with relegation to the Second Division practically certified. Despite the efforts and isolated goals, the lack of assertiveness and the scarcity of quality in the squad have been decisive.
The team has accumulated a worrying string of defeats, surpassing negative historical records. The situation is critical, and the squad’s planning has been revealed as a failure. The club could break the record for most defeats in a season, surpassing the mark set decades ago.

“Areso in Atlético’s sights
Atlético de Madrid is closely monitoring the situation of Jesús Areso, Osasuna’s right-back. The player, whose contract expires in 2026, has rejected several renewal offers from the Navarre club, which has aroused the interest of several teams, including Atlético.
Although Athletic Club seems to be in the lead in the bid for Areso, the player’s profile is very pleasing to Simeone. His possible incorporation could be an important reinforcement for the rojiblanca defense.
The Osasuna board, aware of the interest that Areso is arousing, is already exploring options to reinforce their right-back. Meanwhile, at the Metropolitano, the possible arrival of the young defender is being considered, who could bring solidity and projection to the team. Colchoneros fans eagerly await news about this possible signing that could further strengthen the squad. Atlético, always ambitious, seeks the best talents to continue competing at the highest level.

“Real Valladolid Fights Unrewarded at the Metropolitano”
Real Valladolid showed spirit and courage in their visit to the Metropolitano, even taking the lead and leveling the match at one point, but ultimately could not avoid defeat. Despite the effort, defensive errors proved decisive once again, preventing the team from earning valuable points.
Ferreira, in goal, made some fine saves, although he conceded four goals. The defensive line, with Aidoo standing out in ball distribution, failed to contain the opposition’s attack. Javi Sánchez, who scored a free-kick, had a difficult match.
Henrique was overwhelmed on several occasions. In midfield, Juric and Anuar fought to win back balls, while Grillitsch tried to provide quality. Chuki and Machis looked to unbalance on the wings. Sylla, who scored Real Valladolid’s first-ever goal at the Metropolitano, fought hard in attack.
From the bench, Iván Sánchez created danger with his passes, while Moro failed to convert his chances. Nikitscher and Amath brought freshness to the team, and Amallah tried to connect with his teammates. Despite the commitment of all the players, Real Valladolid returned home empty-handed, but with the conviction to keep fighting in every match.

In addition, the federation has announced internal measures, such as the elimination of the possibility of buying tickets for those supporters who allow access to buses organized with local team emblems.

Simeone himself has expressed surprise at his performance, highlighting his ability to change the dynamics of matches with his energy and commitment. Giuliano, with his undeniable devotion to Atleti, has earned a place in the starting eleven through effort and good performances.
After successful loan spells at Zaragoza and Alavés, where he was always a key player, he has proven his worth in the Rojiblancos team. His resilience was also evident after overcoming a fractured fibula and dislocated ankle he suffered during his loan to Alavés.
His influence on the team’s game is undeniable, providing key assists and showing great intelligence in the final third. Giuliano is synonymous with hard work, effort, and determination, infecting his spirit to his teammates.

Atlético de Madrid’s youth academy continues to bear fruit, and now it’s Luca Villa, son of the legendary David Villa, who excites the fans. At just twelve years old, Luca already shines in the Alevín rojiblanco, demonstrating a talent inherited from his father, that striker who left an indelible mark on the club during the conquest of the League.
Luca, wearing the number ‘2’ and sporting flowing hair, doesn’t shy away from the cameras. During the Crevillent Cup, he made his goal clear: to be better than his father.
His prodigious left foot and his scoring instinct are reminiscent of the best, and he himself acknowledges having role models both at home and at the club, also admiring Fernando Torres. But beyond his skills, what really captivates the fans is his passion for Atlético.
In a recent interview, Luca confessed that his biggest dream is to debut at the Metropolitano, a desire he shares with thousands of young rojiblancos players. His enthusiasm is as great as that of Giuliano Simeone, another youth player with Atlético blood, when he saw his father triumph at the Calderón.

The good news is that De Paul, a key player in midfield, is accelerating his recovery. The player has already joined the group and has shown a good pace in ball training. Although there are still a few sessions to assess his sensations, the hope that he can be in the squad is high.
Another player who could join the team is Samuel Lino. Although he has not yet trained with the group, the Brazilian is working hard on his recovery. The team is aware of the importance of adding victories in the remaining league games, looking to put pressure on Barcelona and Real Madrid in the fight for the top spots.

“Romero, the Kaiser who longs for the Metropolitano”
Atlético de Madrid has set its sights on Cristian ‘Cuti’ Romero to strengthen their defense for the upcoming season. The club considers the Argentine center-back as their number one target, aware of the difficulty of negotiating with Tottenham, but confident in the appeal of Simeone’s project and the player’s desire to wear the red and white shirt.
After a season of transition in the backline, with the arrival of Le Normand and Lenglet, and the departures of Savic and Hermoso, Atlético seeks to rejuvenate and consolidate its defense.
The possible departure of Witsel and Azpilicueta opens the door for the arrival of a reliable center-back, and Simeone sees in Romero the necessary leap in quality. Atlético is aware that Tottenham will not facilitate the operation and will demand a high sum for the transfer of the player, who has a contract until 2027.
However, Romero’s willingness and the good relationship he maintains with several Argentine players on the team, such as De Paul, Nahuel Molina, and Julián Álvarez, could be key to finalizing his arrival at the Metropolitano.
The club would be willing to make a financial effort to complete the signing and allow Romero to play in the Club World Cup as a red and white player. His leadership, aggression, and quality make him a highly coveted center-back, and Atlético is confident that they can count on him to strengthen their defense and aspire to great goals next season.

Alexander Sorloth has become a key player in Cholo Simeone’s scheme, standing out as a luxury substitute. The Norwegian striker, with 16 goals this season, has broken records by scoring 11 goals coming off the bench, nine of them in La Liga, surpassing historical marks.
His ability to change matches and bring freshness to the Rojiblancos’ attack is undeniable. Despite not being an undisputed starter, Sorloth has proven his worth and goal-scoring instinct, generating internal competition and raising the team’s level.
Sorloth has equaled Griezmann’s goal tally, albeit with far fewer minutes played, highlighting his efficiency and lethality in front of the rival goal.
While Griezmann, a fundamental pillar in Simeone’s scheme, has seen his performance slightly affected, Sorloth emerges as a real and effective alternative, generating a debate about who should accompany Julián in the attack.
Although Simeone values Griezmann’s experience and game, Sorloth’s push is undeniable. The Norwegian arrived at Atlético to be a key player, and he is achieving it with flying colors, establishing himself as a valuable asset for the team. His impact from the bench and his goal-scoring ability make him an important asset for Atlético in the pursuit of their objectives.

Great news for the Red and White fans! Simeone has the entire squad available for the next match, with De Paul and Samuel Lino recovering from their minor injuries. In addition, Ángel Correa returns after serving his suspension, which increases the options and competition in a team that seeks to climb positions in La Liga.
El Cholo surprised in training by testing a new attacking duo formed by Sorloth and Julián Alvarez. The Norwegian, in great form with 16 goals, could earn a place in the starting eleven ahead of Griezmann, who is not going through his best moment.
Sorloth has proven to be a key revulsive coming off the bench, scoring 11 goals as a substitute. In defense, Le Normand could accompany Lenglet in the center. In midfield, Koke and Barrios would repeat as the Academy duo, with Giuliano and Gallagher completing the line.
The possible starting eleven that Simeone tested would be: Oblak; Llorente, Le Normand, Lenglet, Javi Galán; Giuliano, Barrios, Koke, Gallagher; Julián Alvarez and Sorloth. With the infirmary empty and a renewed attack, Atlético is preparing to face the final stretch of the season with the ambition to continue pushing in the fight for the title. Aúpa Atleti!

“Lenglet
Clement Lenglet’s season at Atlético de Madrid has been a rollercoaster of emotions. The French center-back, who arrived with a low profile, earned a place in the starting eleven after Le Normand’s injury, providing clarity in the build-up play and contributing to the team’s spectacular performance.
His vision of the game and ability to initiate the attack were key to the winning streak that thrilled the Rojiblancos fans. However, his performance has been marred by a high number of penalties conceded, becoming the Atlético player who has committed the most this season.
This situation has raised doubts about his continuity in the team. Despite his overall good performance, these specific mistakes could influence the club’s decision to negotiate his permanent transfer with Barcelona, the club to which he currently belongs.
Initially, the idea was clear: to make an effort to keep Lenglet in the team beyond the Club World Cup. However, the recent penalties have opened a debate in the Metropolitano offices. Now, the coach must decide whether to bet on the reliability of other players in the squad. The next few games will be crucial in determining the future of the French center-back at Atlético.

However, the Rojiblanca hope lies in Fiamma, the young attacking midfielder who is having a great season. With 30 games already played, Fiamma has become a fundamental pillar of the team, providing dynamism, vision of the game and that necessary spark to unlock complicated matches.
Her four goals and five assists consolidate her as one of the most influential players in the Colchonero attack. The coach, Víctor Martín, will bet on her in the starting eleven, trusting in her ability to unbalance and generate danger in the rival area.
Along with Sheila Guijarro, Gaby García and Medina, Fiamma will lead the attack in search of victory. The match promises to be exciting, with an Atlético focused on recovering the path to victory and a Fiamma willing to shine with its own light. Let’s go for the Champions League, Atleti!

Atlético de Madrid faces the final stretch of the season with high morale and the team almost complete. Simeone recovers key players like Correa, De Paul, and Lino, who return after overcoming their respective injuries, ready to contribute their quality to the team.
The return of Correa, suspended for several matches, is especially important for El Cholo, as his grit and ability to unbalance matches are fundamental. The Argentine, with seven goals and six assists, is always a valuable resource.
In addition, the good form of players like Riquelme and Lemar provides an additional boost to the team. Riquelme has taken advantage of his opportunities, showing his quality on the pitch, while Lemar has regained his best form in recent matches.
With these reinforcements, Simeone has more options to shape his starting eleven and face the upcoming challenges with confidence. With Champions League secured, Atlético de Madrid looks upwards in the table, aiming to put pressure on Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Back in the starting eleven, Janneh has responded with important goals against Intercity and Real Madrid Castilla, establishing himself as a key piece in the attack. His effort and dedication have not gone unnoticed, attracting the attention of Simeone, who included him in the squad for the match against Valladolid.
Despite not having debuted yet with the first team, Omar is getting closer to fulfilling his dream. Following in the footsteps of youth players like Barrios, Riquelme, and Giuliano, Janneh already has 11 goals this season, proving his worth both in the League and in the Youth League.
His story is an example of perseverance and talent, a reflection of the fighting spirit that characterizes Atlético de Madrid. With hard work and determination, Omar Janneh is emerging as one of the club’s great promises, ready to leave his mark on the Rojiblanco team.

“Álvarez emulates Luis García! Rojiblanco milestone after 31 years”
How great is Atleti! Last league matchday left us with a historic moment. Julián Álvarez became the first Rojiblanco player in 31 years to score two penalties in the same La Liga match at the Metropolitano.
A record that had resisted since the 1993-94 season, when Luis García achieved the feat against Athletic at the Calderón. Álvarez, with his precision and composure, converted the two penalties awarded to Atlético against Real Valladolid, the first committed on Giuliano and the second on Marcos Llorente, unleashing euphoria among the fans.
This achievement breaks a drought since that match against Athletic. Since then, Atleti had up to four opportunities to repeat the feat, but luck was not on our side. We remember the 2009-10 season against Mallorca, with a penalty goal by Forlán after having missed another.
In 2013-14, against Valencia, Diego Costa also scored a penalty after having missed the first, and in that same season he repeated the story against Elche after Villa’s miss. The last occasion was in 2016-17 against Osasuna, where Carrasco and Thomas failed to materialize their shots. Congratulations, Julián, for this milestone! Let’s continue adding moments to the history of Atleti!

Although the memory of the last match in Gran Canaria, with a defeat that marked a turning point last season, still lingers, the team travels with the firm intention of adding three vital points in their fight for the title.
Cholo has been testing a possible starting eleven with some new features. Although the coach has not yet confirmed the final lineup, a competitive team is expected with the grit that characterizes Atlético de Madrid. The fans are confident that the team will give their best to continue adding points and get closer to the leadership. Aúpa Atleti!

“Barrios Unleashes His Potential with Koke”
Young academy player Pablo Barrios is shining brightly at Atlético de Madrid, especially after Koke’s return to the starting lineup. Barrios has demonstrated in recent matches that he has the ability to arrive in the box and make runs from the second line, contributing a goal and an assist in the last two games.
His connection with Koke in midfield allows him to play with greater freedom and approach the rival area more frequently, displaying his full offensive potential. Against Sevilla, he showed his great shot, something he had already displayed in the lower categories, scoring an important goal.
Against Valladolid, he was key in assisting Giuliano, contributing to the team’s victory. This season, Barrios has accumulated one goal and three assists, showing his growing influence on Atlético’s game.
Accustomed to playing as a pivot, Koke’s presence alongside him frees him from defensive responsibilities, allowing him to exploit his more creative and offensive side. His left-footed shot in the area against Valladolid, which almost ended in a goal, is a sign of what Barrios can contribute to the team. Despite his youth, he is already approaching 100 games with the red and white shirt, establishing himself as a key piece in Cholo’s scheme.

From the start, Atlético imposed their rhythm, with prolonged possession that culminated in Moraza’s goal, who joyfully celebrated her first goal as a Rojiblanca. The team gave no respite to their rival, with Fiamma and Moraza generating constant danger.
The connection between Gio and Tatiana resulted in a save from the opposing goalkeeper, whose rebound was taken advantage of by Gaby García to extend the lead. The Brazilian forward came close to scoring again, but the goalkeeper and the post prevented it.
In the second half, the pace of the match slowed down. Despite the changes and some isolated chances from Ana Vitória and Sheila Guijarro, who hit the crossbar, the score remained unchanged. Atlético demonstrated solidity and control, securing a victory that keeps them in the top positions of the standings.

After the defeat against Las Palmas, Atlético de Madrid coach Diego Simeone appeared before the media to analyze the match. He acknowledged that the team failed to display their best game, especially in the second half.
“If we had any chance of winning the League, it was by making perfect numbers. Today we didn’t,” lamented the coach, aware of the difficulty now represented by the fight for the title. Simeone highlighted a “quite correct” first half, where the team generated chances, although without the fortune to materialize them.
However, the second half did not meet expectations, and the opponent’s goal reflected the lack of ideas and fluidity in the game. Despite the adverse result, Cholo defended the attitude of his players, pointing out that the problem lay in the lack of associative play.
“I was not bothered by the attitude, we played badly,” he stated. Looking to the future, Simeone reaffirmed his commitment to the project and the club’s philosophy. “It’s been 14 years at the club, we’re going to take care of and die for what we’ve built,” he assured.
The goal, according to the coach, is to continue working and looking for players who adapt to the team’s demands. While acknowledging the lack of defensive solidity in recent games, he expressed confidence in reversing the situation and recovering the strength that has always characterized Atlético.
The changes introduced during the match did not achieve the desired impact, and the team could not find the expected reaction. Despite the emotional blow, Cholo remains focused on the rest of the season, with the same enthusiasm and dedication as always.

“Agonizing Defeat in the Canary Islands
Atlético de Madrid suffered a painful defeat against Las Palmas in a match where the lack of intensity and ambition were evident. The match, lacking great chances on both sides, was defined in the last breath with a goal by Javi Muñoz that unleashed local euphoria and sunk the Colchoneros.
From the beginning, Las Palmas showed more need and determination, insistently seeking the goal defended by Oblak. Atlético, for its part, was apathetic, without clear ideas in attack and with an exasperating slowness in the circulation of the ball.
Key players like Koke and Barrios were overwhelmed by the intensity of the rival, while the attack, with Sorloth as a starter, failed to generate danger. Simeone tried to revitalize the team with changes in the second half, giving entry to De Paul, Riquelme, Azpilicueta and Griezmann.
However, the reaction did not come. Las Palmas’ goal in added time was a severe blow for an Atlético that seems to have lost the spark and enthusiasm in this final stretch of the season. Despite the defeat, the Rojiblanca fans are confident that the team will recover its competitive spirit and close the season with dignity. Aúpa Atleti!

“Atleti
Atlético de Madrid faces the end of the season with its sights set on La Liga, taking advantage of the less busy schedule to arrive fresh for each match. After a spectacular first half of the season that crowned them winter champions, Cholo Simeone’s team seeks to string together victories and keep the flame of the championship alive.
The next challenge: a vital match against a Las Palmas fighting for permanence. Atleti, an expert in comebacks, has demonstrated enviable resilience this season, adding more points after losing than any other team in the major European leagues.
In addition, they have an impressive scoring streak, scoring in their last 11 league matches, the best since April 2023. Although Oblak faces the challenge of keeping a clean sheet, the team is confident in its offensive capacity.
With the infirmary empty, Simeone recovers key players such as Lemar and Roro, who have taken advantage of their minutes greatly. Sorloth, a luxury revulsive, has become a fundamental pillar in the forward line, surpassing Griezmann’s goalscoring records in his first season.
Julián, the star signing, leads the team in this final stretch. Keep fighting, Rojiblancos! The title is at stake and the Metropolitano trusts in the Atleti’s claw and indomitable spirit.

“Vitolo
A few months ago, Vitolo, that player who generated so much expectation, retired from football. His recent history is marked by that signing for Atlético de Madrid in the summer of 2017, a strategic move at a time when the club could not immediately register players.
The idea was brilliant: Vitolo, an old desire of Cholo Simeone, would play on loan at Las Palmas until January, returning to the club that saw him born. However, the reality was very different. His departure from Sevilla was surrounded by controversy, which affected his subsequent performance.
Once at Atlético, injuries became his worst enemy. After chaining few injuries from 2013 to 2016, he began a series of physical problems that prevented him from finding regularity. Even in his loan to Las Palmas, injuries prevented him from playing continuously.
He arrived at Atlético without rhythm and had to adapt to Cholo’s system, coinciding with the return of an already adapted Diego Costa. Despite the difficulties, when Vitolo managed to be healthy, Simeone trusted his talent and imbalance.
However, injuries prevented him from chaining many consecutive games. Even the subsequent loans to Getafe and his return to Las Palmas failed to relaunch his career. That promising Vitolo of 2017 never exploded at the Metropolitano, leaving the feeling of a missed opportunity. A journey between Las Palmas and Atleti that aimed high, but unfortunately, did not come to fruition.

“Atlético
The recent defeat against Las Palmas has left a bitter taste at the Metropolitano, but the Rojiblancos fans are confident that the team can close the season in the best possible way.
Despite the result, we value the effort and dedication of players like Giménez, who reached 250 games in La Liga defending the Atlético shirt, establishing himself as one of the foreigners with the most appearances in the club’s history.
We also celebrate the return of Correa to the team after his suspension, a key player with the ability to change the course of matches.
Although the match against Las Palmas was not as expected, with an inspired Horkas denying goal-scoring opportunities, especially to Sorloth, it is important to remember that Atlético has the quality and character to overcome this hurdle.
The fans continue to support the team unconditionally, demonstrating once again their loyalty and passion for the Rojiblancos colors. It’s time to leave the setbacks behind and focus on what’s to come. We are confident that the team will recover and once again show its best version. Aúpa Atleti!
19.04.2025 06:02 / Diario As
“Surprise Lineup
Atlético de Madrid prepares to face Las Palmas with a potential surprise in the starting lineup. According to tests conducted by Simeone, the Cholo could introduce changes in attack, giving Sorloth an opportunity instead of Griezmann.
Despite having De Paul, Lino, and Correa available after overcoming injuries and suspensions, none of them seem to be in the starting lineup that the Argentine coach has been practicing.
Sorloth, recognized as a key game-changer from the bench, could have the opportunity to prove his worth as a starter alongside Julián Alvarez. In addition to this possible change in attack, Le Normand could take Giménez’s place in defense.
The rest of the team would remain similar to the previous match, with Oblak in goal, looking to maintain his good form and fight for the Zamora trophy. The possible lineup would be: Oblak; Llorente, Le Normand, Lenglet, Galán, Giuliano, Barrios, Koke, Gallagher; Julián Alvarez and Sorloth. Griezmann would await his opportunity from the bench. Rojiblancos fans eagerly await this match, hoping to see a solid and impactful Atlético de Madrid.

“Atlético faces a revitalized Las Palmas”
After a season of ups and downs, Atlético de Madrid faces a reborn Las Palmas, who arrive with high spirits after their victory in Getafe. For the Canary Islanders, this match represents a golden opportunity to escape the relegation zone and close the season with a flourish.
The yellow team, known for its contrasting game, has already demonstrated its ability to beat the big teams, such as Barcelona in Montjuïc, and put Real Madrid in trouble in their own territory.
A victory against Atlético would mean completing a trilogy of victories against the three giants of Spanish football, a milestone that would boost their morale in the fight for permanence.
Las Palmas’ hopes rest on key players such as Fábio Silva, who will seek to shine in front of a possible future team, and Alberto Moleiro, who has taken over the team’s leadership in critical moments. McBurnie also stands out, who has arrived in good shape.
Although the result of this match will not be decisive, a victory would mean a great boost for the island team in their goal of staying in the top category. Atlético, for its part, will seek to impose its hierarchy and add three vital points in its fight for Champions League places.

“Cerci and his Unexpected Stint at Atleti”
Former footballer Alessio Cerci, who wore the red and white jersey during the 2014-15 and 2016-17 seasons, has revealed details about his arrival at Atlético de Madrid. In a recent interview, Cerci confessed that his signing for the Colchoneros club was not entirely to his liking, as his desire was to remain in Italian football.
Despite having arrived from Torino after an outstanding season with 13 goals and 11 assists, the Italian player never felt completely comfortable in the team led by El Cholo. “I went reluctantly,” admitted Cerci, who felt frustrated at not being able to continue his career in Italy.
This initial lack of motivation and a less-than-optimal physical condition upon arriving at the club, according to his statements, influenced his performance and lack of opportunities within the coach’s scheme.
Despite the investment made by Atlético, Cerci played only eleven matches, scoring one goal, before being loaned to Milan. After a loan spell and a long knee injury, Cerci returned to Atlético in 2016, although his second stint at the club was also unsuccessful.
The Italian player, who arrived at Atleti with high expectations, failed to establish himself in the team and finally disassociated himself from the club in 2021, ending his career as a footballer. His time at Atleti, although brief, left a story of unmet expectations and a feeling of dissatisfaction on the part of the player.

“League Dream Over
Atlético de Madrid says goodbye to the fight for the League title, now focused on securing their place in the Club World Cup.
After an exciting start to the season, with a streak of 15 consecutive victories, the team has suffered a major setback in the second half, marked by painful eliminations in the Champions League and Cup, and notable irregularity in the domestic championship.
The Champions League elimination against Real Madrid left a deep wound in the team, plunging it into a crisis of play and results. Unexpected defeats and bittersweet draws have weighed down league aspirations, leaving behind that optimism of the beginning of the year.
Despite individual flashes, such as Julián’s 26 goals, the team has failed to maintain the solidity and determination that characterized it in the past. The lack of tension and defensive fragility worry a fan base that longs to see Atleti fighting at the top again. Now, the main goal is to close the season in the best possible way, consolidating third place and preparing the Club World Cup with a renewed attitude. It’s time to build for the future and recover the identity that has captivated its fans.

“Matchday Analysis
The recent LaLiga matchday has left a bittersweet taste for the Red and White fans. Despite the effort and determination that characterize the team, Atlético was unable to add three points in their last match.
The video assistant referee (VAR) was a protagonist in several matches, including Atlético’s. Although refereeing decisions always generate debate, the important thing is to maintain confidence in the team and continue fighting in each game.
Atlético showed character and commitment on the field, with key players giving their all in every play. The fans, as always, supported unconditionally from the stands of the Metropolitano, creating a spectacular atmosphere.
Despite the adverse results, the team maintains its fighting spirit and determination to continue improving. Each match is an opportunity to demonstrate Atlético’s quality and their ability to overcome any obstacle. Forza Atleti!

“Musso
Juan Musso’s future at Atlético de Madrid is up in the air. The Argentine goalkeeper, on loan from Atalanta, has proven his worth in the Cup and in the La Liga match he played at San Mamés, keeping a clean sheet. Despite his good performance, his continuity beyond June is not guaranteed.
The Colchoneros’ management values his performance positively, but his stay would be conditioned on him arriving at zero cost, without the club having to pay Atalanta. If not, Musso might not continue with the team after the Club World Cup.
Faced with this situation, Atlético is already exploring the market in search of a substitute goalkeeper for Jan Oblak, who has a contract until 2028 and remains the security between the posts.
Oblak is also in the fight to achieve his sixth Zamora Trophy, a milestone that no other goalkeeper has achieved in the history of La Liga. He currently leads the standings with a coefficient of 0.87, although the team’s overall performance in recent weeks does not favor him in this particular battle.
Musso, since his arrival at Atlético, quickly integrated into the locker room and formed a great group with his compatriots Nahuel, De Paul, Correa, Julián Alvarez and Giuliano, as well as with Cholo Simeone and his coaching staff. The goalkeeper was very excited at his presentation, stating that arriving at Atleti was “a yes from the heart.” His adaptation and performance have been remarkable, but his future at the club will depend on negotiations between Atlético and Atalanta.

“Atlético B Boosts Promotion Dream”
Atlético de Madrid B, led by Fernando Torres, demonstrated their ambition and determination by defeating Alcoyano in a key match for their promotion aspirations. The Rojiblancos dominated the match from start to finish, displaying a solid and effective game that left Alcoyano with no options.
From the beginning, the intensity and control of Atlético B were evident, with a midfield led by Javi Serrano and Selu Diallo, and with Íker Luque constantly creating danger in the attack.
The reward for dominance came with goals from Omar Janneh, an impeccable header, and Rayane, who extended the lead before halftime. In the second half, Atlético B maintained control, creating opportunities to further extend their advantage.
Despite Alcoyano’s attempts to react, the Rojiblancos defense remained firm, neutralizing any threat and securing the victory. With this win, Atlético B is consolidated in promotion positions, now depending on other results to ensure their presence in the promotion playoffs. The reserve team continues to demonstrate its potential and the great work being done under the direction of Fernando Torres, thrilling the fans with the possibility of reaching new goals.

“Las Palmas Downs Atleti and Revives Hope!”
A thunderous roar echoed in the Estadio de Gran Canaria! UD Las Palmas, with grit and determination, defeated Atlético de Madrid 1-0, ending a drought of home victories that had stretched since December 2024.
This triumph not only represents a boost of morale for the team, but also a respite in the fight for permanence. The match, vibrant and full of emotion, was decided by an agonizing goal from Javi Muñoz in the 93rd minute, unleashing euphoria in the stands and on a yellow bench that celebrated the victory alongside its fans.
Defensive solidity, with a clean sheet unseen in 2025, was key to neutralizing the Colchoneros’ attack. Dinko Horkaš, the goalkeeper, stood as an insurmountable wall, with providential interventions that sustained the team in critical moments.
This triumph revitalizes Las Palmas’ campaign, which now strings together two consecutive victories in LaLiga EA Sports, something they had not achieved since the previous year. The unconditional support of the fans, that “player number 12” as Diego Martínez described it, was essential to propel the team to victory. Hope is reborn in Gran Canaria! With six finals ahead, the dream of salvation is more alive than ever. Keep fighting, team!

What a great victory! Atlético de Madrid showed character and strategy on the field, adding three vital points. The coach highlighted the perfect execution of the match plan, where patience and confidence were key to overcoming the rival.
Despite the equality in the game, the team knew how to stay calm and seize opportunities. The start of the match was promising, with a strong Atlético looking for the goal with determination. Although the final pass resisted at first, the team’s attitude never wavered.
The coach highlighted the importance of the victory, especially due to the physical difficulty that the match demanded. It was a tactical match where each player contributed their grain of sand. This victory not only represents three valuable points, but also a boost of morale to face the next challenges.

“Atlético
Atlético de Madrid closes the season with mixed feelings. After a promising start that led them to be winter champions, the team has experienced a drop in performance, moving them away from the title fight.
Although the team remains in the top positions of the table, the recent performance has left a bittersweet taste among the fans. In La Liga, Atlético has achieved 18 victories in 32 matches, a percentage of 56%.
Draws and some unexpected defeats against teams from the bottom zone have diminished the team’s aspirations. Despite showing solidity at the Metropolitano, where they have earned 37 points, the away performance has been less consistent, with 26 points obtained.
The team has managed to beat direct rivals such as Athletic and Mallorca, achieving important victories. However, defeats against teams like Barcelona and Betis, added to the draws against Real Madrid and Villarreal, reflect a lack of regularity.
The fans hope that the team learns from these stumbles and returns next season with more strength and determination to achieve the goals it deserves. Despite the difficulties, Atlético has shown character and determination in many moments of the season, making it clear that it remains a formidable rival for any team. With work and dedication, the future looks promising for the Red and White club.

Congratulations, Atlético fans! Atlético de Madrid had a spectacular performance at MICFootball, once again demonstrating the quality of their youth academy. The tournament, which brought together 444 teams from all over the world in Girona, witnessed the Red and White dominance in several categories.
Atlético was crowned champion in the U-14, U-15 and U-16 categories, an impressive achievement that reflects the excellent training work carried out at the club.

The U-15s also took the title after beating Real Sociedad with a goal from Alexandru Grigorii, keeping a clean sheet throughout the competition. The U-16s were not far behind and added another trophy to the Red and White showcases, winning the final on penalties after an exciting match against FC Barcelona.
These triumphs are a source of pride for all Colchoneros fans and demonstrate the great future that awaits Atlético de Madrid. Keep reaping success! This year’s MICFootball has been a clear example of the talent and passion that characterize our young players. Forza Atleti!

In the training session, the starters against Las Palmas did gym work and also stepped onto the pitch, while Oblak and Barrios did not train on the field. The substitutes played a match against a team from the club’s youth categories, with the participation of players such as Correa, De Paul, Griezmann or Lenglet.
The coaching staff and players are determined not to give up and to leave behind the image shown in the second half of the match against Las Palmas.

The Mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, as a faithful follower of Atlético de Madrid, shared his vision on the team’s present in LaLiga during the presentation of the Madrid Open.
Almeida, with a realistic and optimistic tone, acknowledged the difficulty of reaching the league leadership, although he invited not to lose hope. Despite the distance in the table, the mayor trusts the team’s fighting spirit to continue adding victories and consolidate itself in the Champions League places.
Apart from football, Almeida also expressed his hope that Carlos Alcaraz can participate in the Madrid Open despite his recent injury. “We hope he can come, what happens is that the physical conditions are what they are, in his case.
But we hope he can come and we have no news that he has suspended or canceled his participation,” commented the mayor. Rojiblancos fans, like Almeida, maintain faith in the team and hope for a season full of successes and unforgettable moments.

“Llorente and Giuliano
Amidst a disappointing Rojiblanca season, two names shine brightly: Marcos Llorente and Giuliano Simeone. These footballers embody the grit and commitment expected of every Atlético de Madrid player. Owners of the right flank, they are the team’s main offensive engine in a difficult moment.
Giuliano, with his tireless dedication, has earned an important place in the team. His connection with Griezmann has been key, and his precise crosses have generated goal-scoring opportunities.
For his part, Llorente, a true utility player, demonstrates his worth in every game, adapting to different positions and always contributing to the team. His versatility and fighting spirit make him a fundamental player.
His partnership with Giuliano and his good harmony with Barrios and Julián Alvarez are good news for the future. With the League practically decided, Atlético needs an incentive to face the last matches with honor.
The goal is clear: to qualify for the Club World Cup and prepare in the best possible way for this competition. The remaining matches should serve as a particular pre-season, seeking to recover the competitive tension and winning spirit that characterized the team in the past. Simeone has the task of convincing his players to keep fighting, to be inspired by the example of Llorente and Giuliano, who demonstrate in every game their love for the badge and their commitment to the fans. They are the Colchonero resurgence, the hope for a better future.

“Jorge Castillo
Atlético de Madrid’s Academy continues to bear fruit, and Jorge Castillo is the latest jewel to shine. The young midfielder, just 18 years old, has already debuted with Atleti B and aims high.
Trained in the youth academy since 2011, Castillo has demonstrated his unwavering commitment to the rojiblancos colors, even rejecting offers from other clubs, including Real Madrid. His recent renewal until 2028 is a sign of the confidence the club places in his potential.
Castillo performs as a talented organizer, with great game vision and a tireless work ethic. This season he has been fundamental in the youth A team, playing 35 games, 30 as a starter, including 8 games in the Youth League where he wore the captain’s armband.
In addition, he has contributed with six goals, five in the League and one in Europe. His debut in Primera RFEF, at the hands of Fernando Torres, has been a reward for his dedication and effort.
His growth is being closely monitored in the Academy, following in the footsteps of other young talents who have also debuted this season. Without a doubt, Jorge Castillo is a safe bet for the future of Atlético de Madrid, a player with the rojiblanco DNA who promises to give many joys to the fans at the Metropolitano.

“Correa
Ángel Correa, a historic player for Atlético de Madrid and the sixth player with the most appearances (461) in the red and white shirt, may be living his last months at the club.
Despite his undeniable dedication and gratitude, his prominence has diminished, participating in 40 matches this season, but only seven as a starter. At 30 years old, and after arriving in the summer of 2014, he has left an indelible mark with 87 goals and 58 assists, demonstrating professionalism and commitment despite having to fight for minutes.
Atlético de Madrid, aware of Correa’s value as a world champion and Argentine international, will not hinder him if he wishes to explore new horizons. However, the club expects to receive fair compensation for his departure.
Tigres, River, and several European teams have shown interest in the striker, and Atlético seeks to receive 20 million euros for his transfer. A versatile and decisive player like Correa, always useful for Simeone, deserves an offer that reflects his quality and trajectory. If a suitable proposal arrives, the Metropolitano could say goodbye to a red and white legend.

Oblak trained normally, great news for the rojiblanca fans. However, Barrios did not train with the group, following a specific workload plan. It is expected that he will rejoin soon and may be available for the match against Rayo.
The team is eager to put the image of the last match behind them and bring joy to their fans at the Metropolitano. The objective is clear: to demonstrate the claw and fighting spirit that characterize Atlético de Madrid and add three vital points.

“Atlético Seeks Goalkeeper Reinforcements
Atlético de Madrid has its sights set on the goalkeeping position for the upcoming season. With Jan Oblak as the undisputed starter until 2028, attention is focused on the backup spot. Juan Musso, on loan from Atalanta, may not continue, as the club doesn’t seem willing to pay the 7 million euros of his clause.
Faced with this situation, the sports management, led by Bucero, is exploring interesting alternatives at zero cost, highlighting Walter Benítez, current goalkeeper of PSV. Atlético has already shown interest in Benítez in the past, but high financial demands prevented his arrival.
Now, with the player’s contract expiring, the opportunity presents itself more favorably. Benítez, a 32-year-old Argentinian international, is an experienced goalkeeper highly valued by the coaching staff. In addition to Benítez, Atlético is also looking to the future, closely following young talents.
Miguel Gouveia, a 17-year-old goalkeeper from Sporting de Portugal, is one of the promises of Portuguese football and is on the radar of the Rojiblanco club as a possible long-term successor to Oblak.
The young goalkeeper, an international in lower categories with Portugal, has left a good impression in the Youth League. In short, Atlético is looking for a reliable backup goalkeeper and a future project, with Benítez and Gouveia as prominent options to reinforce the goal at the Metropolitano.

“Atlético
Atlético de Madrid has experienced a season of contrasts. After an overwhelming start, with fifteen consecutive victories and the winter champion title, the team’s performance has dropped in the second round, generating criticism and putting Simeone in the spotlight.
While Cholo is responsible for this situation, he was also responsible for the previous success and has credit to reverse the situation. What cannot be allowed is that the effort of an entire year is squandered.
The attitude shown in some matches, such as against Las Palmas, where important players such as Correa, Griezmann, De Paul, Azpilicueta or Riquelme seemed to be strolling around the field, is unacceptable.
Defeat is not reproached when one fights and gives everything, but the lack of attitude and dedication is. The contrast with the intensity shown by Real Madrid and Barcelona is evident. Atlético has invested in important reinforcements like Giuliano, so maximum demand is expected.
Players like him must lead the way. The loyal and demanding Colchoneros fans deserve to see a committed and fighting team. It’s time to get up and show that this shield is defended with honor in every game.

“Late Kick-Off Angers Fans on Children’s Day”
Atlético de Madrid fans have expressed their outrage at the scheduled kick-off time for the match against Real Sociedad, set for Saturday, May 10th at 9:00 PM.
The Unión de Peñas (Supporters’ Union) has raised its voice on behalf of the Rojiblancos fans, considering this schedule inappropriate as it coincides with Children’s Day, a special date for young fans.
The match, which will end at 11:00 PM, is too late for children who are usually asleep at that time, even on a Saturday. Fans believe that the schedule undermines the celebration and enjoyment of the little ones on a day designed for them.
The Unión de Peñas has described the League’s decision as a boycott and criticizes the prioritization of business over the well-being of future fans. Despite the discontent, the club has shown a proactive attitude, adapting to the circumstances and extending the recreational activities throughout the day to compensate for the late kick-off time. Younger fans will be able to enjoy photos with Indi, inflatables, slides and human foosball tables, ensuring that the Children’s Day celebration remains a memorable experience for the Atlético family.

“Atleti on the Trail of Young Talent Gouveia”
Atlético de Madrid, always attentive to the future, has set its sights on Miguel Gouveia, a promising 17-year-old goalkeeper from Sporting de Portugal. The Rojiblancos have been closely following the young talent for some time, monitoring his performances both in the Youth League and in matches with the Portuguese U-19 national team.
Gouveia, who will turn 18 in September, has stood out for his great projection and potential between the posts. Although Atleti faces competition from important clubs in England and Italy, the interest of the club from the Metropolitano is firm.
Gouveia is expected to continue for one more season at Sporting, where he feels comfortable and valued. His current contract includes a release clause of 30 million euros, a figure that, for the moment, does not represent an insurmountable obstacle for Atleti, who are confident in their options.
Meanwhile, Atlético is also working on resolving more immediate issues in the goal. Musso’s loan is coming to an end, and the club is studying the possibilities of retaining him, although without the intention of paying the seven million euros for the purchase option.
Oblak, the undisputed starter, has a contract until 2028, but the sports management is already thinking about his long-term successor. The incorporation of Gouveia would be a strategic bet to secure the future of the Rojiblancos’ goal.

“Amaiur Sarriegi Strengthens Atlético’s Attack”
Atlético de Madrid Women are preparing for next season with an exciting signing: Amaiur Sarriegi. The talented forward, from Real Sociedad, will bring her quality and experience to the Red and White team.
Amaiur, a full international, is one of the most outstanding players on the national scene and her arrival represents an important boost for Atlético’s project. Her versatility in attack, being able to play in all three positions, will be a plus for the team.
After a distinguished career at Real Sociedad, where she played 149 games and scored 54 goals, Amaiur is looking for new challenges at the Metropolitano. Although she shone in the 2021-22 season with 17 goals, injuries hampered her progress.
However, this season she has recovered her best level, demonstrating her worth with ten goals in 27 games. With this signing, Atlético is looking to strengthen their attack and face the challenges of next season with guarantees.

“Baena in sight
Atlético de Madrid has the talented Álex Baena from Villarreal in its sights as one of its priority targets for next season, along with Cuti Romero. The Colchoneros’ board believes that Baena, a proven and international player, would bring a great leap in quality to the team.
Villarreal values its player at around 50 million euros, and that’s where an interesting piece for Atlético could come into play: Rodrigo Riquelme. The young midfielder, under contract until 2028 and with a market value of 18 million, is liked at Villarreal for his technical quality and verticality.
Although he hasn’t fully exploded this season at Atlético, his youth bodes well for a great future. Including Riquelme in the operation could be the key to lowering Baena’s price and facilitating his arrival at the Metropolitano.
Baena, for his part, has proven his worth at Villarreal, where he has played 28 games with six goals and eight assists. At Atlético, they see him as the ideal player to strengthen the left wing, where there hasn’t been a clear owner this season.
Aware of the difficulty of the operation, Atlético’s managers have already held talks with Villarreal, demonstrating the seriousness of their interest. The possible failure of Villarreal to qualify for the Champions League could be a factor in favor of Atlético in its attempt to secure Baena’s services. The Rojiblancos fans are looking forward to the summer market, trusting that the sports management will finalize this important reinforcement to continue competing at the highest level.

“Atlético Seeks Revenge with Changes in the Starting Eleven”
Atlético de Madrid is preparing for a crucial match at the Metropolitano, looking to redeem themselves after the defeat in Las Palmas. Simeone seems to be betting on tweaks to the starting eleven, without reaching a complete revolution.
Barrios, after overcoming some loads, is available and Cholo has his 23 players. One of the most notable changes is Griezmann’s possible benching. The coach has been trying out Julián Alvarez and Sorloth in attack, looking to exploit the connection between the Argentinian and the Norwegian.
In defense, Lenglet is expected to return to the center back alongside Le Normand, leaving Giménez on the bench. Llorente and Galán would occupy the full-back positions. In midfield, De Paul, recovered from his injury, would accompany Barrios, while Koke would be left out of the starting lineup.
Giuliano Simeone and Gallagher will take care of the wings. In summary, Simeone could field a similar eleven to the one he has used in recent times, but with the surprising benching of Griezmann and Giménez, showing the usual rotation in the center of defense. The fans expect a positive reaction and convincing play in this important match.

“Ex-Atlético Stars Morata and Savić to Clash in Turkish Cup Final!”

“Griezmann
Antoine Griezmann, a key figure for Atlético de Madrid, is facing an unexpected change in his role within the team. After a season as a fundamental pillar, with 3,331 minutes played, the Frenchman could start his second consecutive game as a substitute, something unusual since September 2022.
This situation contrasts with his usual status as an undisputed starter, where, as they say, Atleti has always been Griezmann and ten more. This tactical decision comes after a run of ten games without goals or assists from the player, showing a reduction in his offensive influence.
His last goal was on February 25th. Despite having been a substitute on few occasions during the season, such as against Mallorca or Rayo, these rotations mainly responded to the management of physical loads. However, the recent substitutions mark a turning point.
Let’s remember that Griezmann already experienced a similar situation in the 2022-23 season, although motivated by contractual issues with FC Barcelona. Now, the challenge for the forward is to reverse this situation and regain his best level, while his future at the club is defined. Atlético fans hope that this change will encourage Griezmann to rediscover his best version and once again be decisive in the rojiblanco attack.

“Atleti on Trial
The Metropolitano is preparing for a crucial match where Atlético de Madrid faces a Rayo Vallecano eager for victory. After a brilliant start to the season, Simeone’s team has experienced a decline in performance, accumulating a worrying number of points lost in the second half of the season.
The defeat against Las Palmas left a bitter feeling among the fans, who demand an immediate reaction. With a considerable investment in signings during the summer, the pressure on the team is high.
Doubts surround the starting eleven, with Griezmann starting again as a substitute, despite his importance in the offensive game. The defense also presents questions, with the possible inclusion of Lenglet alongside Le Normand.
The match against Rayo is presented as an opportunity to reverse the situation and demonstrate that Atlético can return to its best level. The Rojiblanca fans expect a competitive and committed team that defends the badge with pride. The match becomes a litmus test to gauge the team’s aspirations in this end of the season and face the revalidation of June with optimism. The Metropolitano must be a fortress where Atleti recovers its identity and demonstrates its worth.

“Simeone
Diego Pablo Simeone’s continuity at the head of Atlético de Madrid is consolidated as an exceptional case in elite football. Following the recent departure of Imanol from Real Sociedad, the figure of Cholo resonates even more strongly, already accumulating 13 years of uninterrupted dedication to the rojiblanco club, a feat that few coaches can match.
While other LaLiga benches see multiple coaches pass through, Atlético enjoys enviable stability, built on Simeone’s commitment and philosophy. Names like Pellegrini, Ancelotti or Michel, with solid careers in their respective teams, are at a considerable distance from the Argentine coach, whose influence in the Metropolitano is undeniable.
Cholo has not only provided stability, but has instilled an identity and a fighting spirit that have marked an era at Atlético. His career is an example of how the mutual commitment between a coach and his players can generate a successful and lasting sports project.
Simeone has expressed his gratitude to the players who have defended his ideas on the field. Over time, Simeone is approaching breaking historical longevity records on the benches. Miguel Muñoz’s mark at Real Madrid is getting closer, a new milestone that could be reached in the 2025-2026 season. Simeone’s legacy at Atlético continues to be written, reaffirming his position as an indisputable benchmark in the club’s history.
