“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.

“Atleti
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. The team travels with high morale and the firm intention of adding three vital points in their fight for the season’s objectives.
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. The Rojiblanca fans fully trust in the team’s ability to overcome this obstacle and continue adding victories on their way. Come on, Atleti, leave your soul on the field and conquer the Pizjuán!

“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.

“Barrios lights up the Red and White Night!”
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.

“Colchoneros Resurgence
Atlético de Madrid secured an important victory at the Metropolitano, a comforting triumph after the Copa elimination. The match, although hard-fought, demonstrated the team’s ability to recover from adversity and compete at the highest level.
Sevilla’s coach, Xavi García Pimienta, acknowledged the difficulty of the encounter, highlighting the effort of his players and Atlético’s tactical approach. Pimienta pointed out that Atlético had thoroughly studied his team, seeking to counter their strengths.

The season has been a real challenge, with ups and downs that have tested the team’s resilience. However, the grit and fighting spirit characteristic of Atlético have remained intact.

“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.

“Atleti Still Alive! Eight Points of Hope”
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!

“Rebellion and Resurgence
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. This meritorious victory is a breath of fresh air for a squad that will cling to any opportunity to fight for a league that is proving to be very demanding.

“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 atmosphere in Seville is tense, but this time the hostility is not directed at a sporting rival, but at the club’s own management. Sevilla FC fans, known for their unwavering passion, have shown their dissatisfaction with the current management, especially after the last derby.
The fans feel frustrated by the decisions made by the directors, who seem to prioritize their own economic interests instead of investing in the future of the team. Various fan groups have called for protests before the match, showing their frustration with a situation they consider unsustainable.
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.
The layoffs of employees, contrasting with the high salaries of the directors, have further exacerbated the general malaise. The fans demand transparency, commitment and management that puts the interests of Sevilla FC above all else. Sevillistas rise up to defend their club and demand a better future.

The Rojiblancos have already pocketed the not inconsiderable sum of 53.62 million euros thanks to their excellent performance in the Champions League group stage.
That well-deserved fifth place in the general table brought us an additional 8.8 million euros.

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! Forza Atleti! Let’s continue to support our team in every game, because together we can achieve glory and continue to add sporting and economic successes.
