“Cholo Before the Clásico
Cholo Simeone will appear before the media to analyze the situation of Atlético de Madrid before the crucial second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final against Barcelona at the Metropolitano.
The Argentinian coach will address the rojiblanco team’s chances of reaching the final at La Cartuja stadium, emphasizing the importance of this match, which is being experienced as a true final.
Atlético is playing for much more than a place in the final against Barcelona, as it will practically define the course of the season after the elimination in the Champions League and the draw in the last league match against Espanyol.
Simeone will focus on how the team will face the pressure and motivation to overcome the blaugrana team and keep alive the hope of a cup title. Fans are eagerly awaiting Cholo’s words, trusting in his strategy and leadership to lead the team to victory. The Metropolitano is preparing for a magical night, where the fans’ support will be essential to propel Atlético towards the coveted final.

“Simeone
Cholo Simeone finds himself in a solitary battle, defending Atlético de Madrid from unfair refereeing and controversial decisions. After the Champions League elimination, the club seems to be standing aside, leaving Simeone as the sole defender of the fans and the team.
His insistence on denouncing what happened bothers many, but it is precisely that perseverance that defines him. The article criticizes the club’s management, which prioritizes economic interests over the Rojiblanco sentiment.
The lack of reinforcements in the winter market is questioned, despite the obvious shortcomings in the squad. While some praise sponsorship deals, others criticize the lack of support for Simeone and the team.
Questionable decisions by key players are pointed out, such as Koke and Griezmann’s trip to the Superbowl at a crucial moment in the season. Despite everything, Atlético competed at the highest level thanks to Simeone’s leadership, who, although not without errors, always stands up for the team.
The controversial elimination in the Champions League, with controversial refereeing decisions and lack of institutional support, left Simeone alone in the face of adversity. His courage in denouncing what is unfair is an example of the fighting spirit that characterizes Atlético de Madrid. Faced with the passivity of many, Simeone stands as the voice of the Atlético sentiment, defending the honor of the club above all else.

“Simeone
Ahead of a crucial match, Simeone radiated confidence in Atlético’s season. He emphasized the unconditional support of the fans at the Metropolitano, vital for the team. While acknowledging the difficulty of the upcoming game, he described it not as a final, but as a semi-final that could open the doors to glory.
Simeone defended the team’s good performance this season, highlighting their competitiveness both in the Champions League and in La Liga, and emphasized the importance of maintaining focus on each game.
Faced with criticism, El Cholo remained firm, respecting opinions but trusting in his team’s potential. He anticipated a match with changing moments, where the key will be to neutralize the rival’s offensive and replicate previous good performances.
Regarding individual players, he praised Griezmann’s talent and Lewandowski’s scoring ability. Simeone insisted that failure lies in not trying, reaffirming his faith in a season that, for now, he qualifies as very good. He concluded by conveying the enthusiasm and intensity that characterize the team’s work, ensuring that they will face the next challenge with the same passion as always.

“Atleti
Atlético de Madrid is preparing intensely for a crucial match, aware that they have a lot at stake. Cholo Simeone and his coaching staff are analyzing every detail to assemble the ideal eleven that will take to the field.
During training, various tactical variants have been rehearsed, especially in defense and midfield, looking for the formula that maximizes the team’s performance. Simeone has tested Azpilicueta and Reinildo on the flanks, seeking solidity and experience in the lanes.
In midfield, De Paul seems fixed, with the possibility of Pablo Barrios accompanying him, bringing freshness and dynamism to the game. Giuliano and Llorente could occupy the wings, offering overflowing and arriving at the rival area.
Up front, the Julián-Griezmann duo is emerging as the main threat, with the option of Sorloth as a revulsive from the bench. The team is focused on giving it their all and demonstrating their fighting spirit at the Metropolitano.
01.04.2025 05:48 / Marca
“Atlético
Atlético de Madrid, with one of the best squads in its history and under the management of Simeone, faces crucial challenges. The focus should be on the team’s performance and not on external controversies.
While it is valid to express opinions, Cholo’s energy should focus on how the team has moved away from the league leadership, giving up points against direct rivals or even teams fighting to avoid relegation.
It is essential to analyse the causes of these defeats and draws that have compromised league aspirations. Leaving behind the victim mentality and focusing on concrete objectives such as the Cup and the Club World Cup is vital.
The Atlético fans have great hopes in these tournaments, and with the quality of the squad, Atlético has the potential to make history. However, this will only be possible if the mindset is changed and the continuous reference to referees and Real Madrid is put aside.
Atlético can change the dynamics if they focus on their own game and maximise the potential of their players. The talent is there, all that is missing is a winning mentality that is not tarnished by external factors. Cholo has the key to transform the situation and lead the team to success, as long as he prioritises action over justification.

“Atleti
The greatness of Atlético de Madrid is forged by looking ahead, overcoming obstacles with the ‘match by match’ philosophy. Focusing on the future, rather than dwelling on the past, is key to continuing to advance as a team and as a club.
The debate about the penalty awarded to Julián Álvarez divides the fans, but many agree that it is time to close that chapter and focus on the challenges ahead.
The admiration for Cholo Simeone is undeniable, for having placed Atleti at the level of Barça or Real Madrid, but that does not prevent questioning the need to continue insisting on specific plays. Greatness is built by overcoming obstacles, without stopping at every setback.
Internally, there is an urge to turn the page and focus on the continuous growth of the team. The feeling of belonging is fundamental, but the economic reality shows that Atleti competes head-to-head with the big teams, an achievement that deserves recognition and that drives us to continue dreaming of an even brighter future. The Metropolitano remains the stage where the red and white passion is lived intensely, driving the team towards new victories and consolidating its place among the greats of Spanish football.

“Griezmann
Antoine Griezmann, an undeniable figure at Atlético de Madrid, is experiencing a bittersweet moment. In the recent match against Barcelona, the French forward started alongside Julián Alvarez but was substituted in the 80th minute, generating divided opinions among the Metropolitano fans.
Some supporters bid him farewell with applause, while others expressed their displeasure with whistles. This mixed reaction reflects the player’s recent performance, who has failed to score since the first leg match against Barcelona.
His goal drought and his play, far from his best level, have raised questions about his future at the club. Despite having one year left on his contract, Griezmann will have to evaluate his situation in the coming weeks.
Regardless of his final decision, his legacy at Atlético de Madrid is assured, becoming a legend for the Colchoneros fans. The support and demands of the stands demonstrate Griezmann’s importance to the team and the hope that he will soon recover his best form.

Simeone emphasized the importance of focusing on the next match against Sevilla and maintaining the commitment and dedication that characterize the team. There are no reproaches, only the recognition that the players are giving everything they have.
02.04.2025 21:29 / Marca
“Atleti
Atlético de Madrid is at a crucial point in its project. Despite a decent season, the elimination in the Champions League, LaLiga, and Copa del Rey by Madrid and Barça highlights the need for a quality leap in the squad.
The match against Barça exposed some weaknesses, although the team showed moments of grit and dedication. The need to reinforce key positions to compete at the highest level was evident.
Griezmann, an indisputable talent, remains fundamental, but his performance against top-tier rivals reveals the wear and tear of a long and successful career. The fans, although demanding, recognize his commitment and quality.
Simeone prepared the match conscientiously, trying to counter the danger of the rival attack, but Barça’s superiority was noticeable. The current season serves as a learning experience and motivation for the future.
With a solid base and the right reinforcements, Atlético de Madrid has the capacity to take that step forward that consolidates it among the greats of Europe. The ambition and fighting spirit, hallmarks of the team, remain intact. The fans are confident that the next season will bring new joys and successes, fighting for every title with the passion that characterizes Atleti.

“Atleti
Atlético de Madrid is experiencing a sweet moment, and its president makes it clear after the directors’ lunch prior to the crucial match at the Metropolitano. With eyes set on the La Cartuja final, the Rojiblanco team faces Barcelona in a duel that promises strong emotions.
Faced with the controversy raised by the registration of Dani Olmo, the president of Atleti has spoken forcefully, defending the legality of his participation. ‘If Dani Olmo is playing, it is because he has to play.
There is a sentence that says he can play,’ he stated, making his position clear and avoiding entering into controversies outside the playing field. Beyond the controversies, the president highlighted the great present of the team, which continues to fight on three fronts.
‘We have reached the round of 16 of the Champions League, we are in the semi-finals of the Cup and we still have options in LaLiga. What more do we want?’, he stated, conveying optimism and ambition. Atleti is alive and kicking, ready to give everything to continue making history. With a solid team, a fighting spirit and an unconditional fanbase, the future looks exciting for the Colchoneros. Aupa Atleti!

“Griezmann
Antoine Griezmann, Atlético de Madrid’s all-time leading scorer with 197 goals, has an obsession: to win important titles wearing the red and white jersey. After failing to compete for La Liga and with the Champions League a mere dream, the Copa del Rey stands as the last major objective of the season.
The semi-final match is crucial for the ‘Little Prince’, who longs to break his particular ‘jinx’ of not having won major titles with Atleti, beyond Super Cups and the Europa League. The Cup is presented as the crown he longs for before making decisions about his future.
His continuity in the club is not yet decided and the possibility that the team will be reinforced to aspire to more titles is an important factor in his choice. The meeting with the board left the door open for his permanence.
With his family integrated in Madrid and the MLS on the horizon, Griezmann focuses his attention on the Cup and the Club World Cup. Despite his current goal drought, he remains a fixture in important matches.
Interestingly, his destiny in the Cup depends in part on Barcelona, a club that invested heavily in him without the expected success. After a complicated return to Atlético, Griezmann won the forgiveness of the fans with his talent and dedication. Although his current performance has raised doubts about his physical condition and future, an outstanding performance in the Cup could change the perception and reaffirm his commitment to Atlético.

“Giménez
After the elimination in the Copa del Rey, Josema Giménez raised his voice with a message of self-criticism and hope for the Atlético de Madrid fans.
The Uruguayan defender acknowledged the superiority of the opponent, especially in the first half, and regretted not being able to give the Red and White fans the joy they expected, as they unconditionally accompanied them throughout the tournament.
Giménez highlighted the team’s reaction in the second half, calling it a ‘great match’, although it was not enough to reverse the result. Realistically, he urged his teammates to ‘accept reality’ and focus on what remains of the league season, promising to fight ‘until the end’ to try to achieve the set objectives.
The Colchoneros center-back had words of thanks for the fans, highlighting their constant support and letting them know that they feel and need them. ‘They were always up to the task,’ he said, apologizing for those moments when the team did not know how to respond to that encouragement.
He stressed the importance of the union between the team and the fans, stating that ’together we are much stronger’. For his part, Javi Galán also spoke about the match, recognizing the difficulty of facing an opponent of that level and valuing the team’s reaction in the second half. Aware of the emotional blow, Galán advocated getting up and continuing to work to face the next challenges with optimism and determination.

“Copa Semifinal
Match day at the Metropolitano! Atlético de Madrid faces FC Barcelona in a Copa del Rey semifinal that promises strong emotions. After a season of vibrant duels, with tight and goal-filled results, both teams meet for the fourth time.
The goal is clear: to tip the balance in their favor and seal the pass to the grand final in La Cartuja, where Real Madrid is already waiting. Atlético, aware of the difficulty, will seek to reverse a streak of adverse results.
Despite the recent elimination in the Champions League and the stumble in La Liga, Simeone’s team will take to the field with the claw and heart that always characterize it. The rojiblanca fans, as always, will play a fundamental role, cheering tirelessly to carry the team in volandas towards victory.
For its part, Barcelona arrives in good shape, undefeated in this 2025 and with the aim of continuing to advance both in the Champions League and in La Liga. However, Atleti in his stadium, with his people and his fighting spirit, is a fearsome rival for anyone. Get ready to experience an unforgettable match, where every minute will count and Atleti will leave everything on the field!

“Atlético faces Barça in season-defining match”
Atlético de Madrid faces Barcelona in a crucial match where a large part of their season is at stake. With the Copa del Rey as the main aspiration to lift a title, Simeone’s team must show their best version. Juan Musso, the goalkeeper chosen for the Cup, has a great opportunity to shine.
In defense, Azpilicueta seeks to consolidate his position, while Giménez and Le Normand form the central defensive partnership in charge of reinforcing the rojiblanca defense. Reinildo is presented as the key man to stop Barcelona’s attack on the right wing.
In midfield, Marcos Llorente will provide speed, Rodrigo De Paul must lead the game and Pablo Barrios will seek to repeat his exhibition against Real Madrid. Giuliano, for his part, will try to destabilize on the left wing.
In attack, Julián is called to make the difference and Griezmann has the opportunity to prove his worth in a big game. Simeone, like his players, has a lot at stake in this match, with the possibility of taking the team to the final. The fans are confident that the Colchonero team will show their claw and determination at the Metropolitano.

“Copa del Rey
The Copa del Rey has historically been a key tournament for Atlético de Madrid, acting as a catalyst in difficult times. Santi Denia and Diego Godín recall how the Copa boosted the team in the past.
Denia remembers the semi-final won against Barcelona in the 1999-2000 season, while Godín highlights the final won at the Bernabéu in 2013 as a turning point that allowed them to compete head-to-head with the big teams.
Beyond the ten titles that adorn the Metropolitano’s showcases, the Copa has been a balm in complicated seasons. Even in the year of relegation, the team reached the final after brilliantly defeating Barcelona at the Calderón.
Denia points out that the current situation could be similar to that one, where the Copa offered the opportunity to fight for a title when LaLiga was not going well. Godín remembers the 2013 final against the eternal rival at the Bernabéu as a milestone, where the preparation transcended the tactical and focused on the psychological. He recalls an anecdote in which the coaching staff urged them to ’take ownership of the field’ during the previous training session at the rival stadium. With this spirit, the Atléticos hope that the Copa del Rey can be a new turning point this season.
02.04.2025 10:15 / Marca
“Giuliano Simeone
Giuliano Simeone, the young Argentinian promise, has conquered the Rojiblancos fans with his grit and talent. Arriving at Atlético de Madrid as a possible revulsive, the winger has become a fundamental piece in Cholo’s scheme, demonstrating that hard work and passion can change a player’s destiny.
His story is one of overcoming adversity. After a difficult loan spell at Alavés, marked by a serious injury, Giuliano returned to the Metropolitano with the firm intention of earning a place. And he has succeeded with flying colors.
Despite starting the season as a substitute, his performances, although brief, did not go unnoticed. His dedication, his speed and his ability to revolutionize matches opened the doors to the starting eleven.
Since then, Giuliano has been a fixture in the team, accumulating fifteen consecutive starts, something that even the stars did not achieve. Beyond his numbers, which include 4 goals and 7 assists, the Argentinian brings a contagious energy to the team, defending every ball as if it were the last.
His dedication and his ‘Colchonero DNA’ have made him an idol for the fans. Giuliano is a winger with speed, off-the-ball movement, dribbling skills, a player who perfectly embodies the values of Atlético de Madrid and promises to bring many joys to the Rojiblancos fans.
03.04.2025 11:07 / Marca
“Letacek and Atlético
The world of football always brings us unexpected moments. This time, the protagonist is Jiri Letacek, Getafe’s goalkeeper, who was caught at the Metropolitano wearing an Atlético de Madrid scarf.
The Czech goalkeeper, in a gesture that could be interpreted as a show of admiration or simply a casual act, was seen as just another fan in the rojiblancas stands. While this fact has generated some controversy among Getafe fans, we cannot deny that it demonstrates the passion that Atleti awakens, even in players from other teams.
Letacek, who arrived at Getafe from Baník Ostrava and has played several Copa del Rey matches, showed his human side and his taste for top-level football. Let us remember that Letacek was the starting goalkeeper in the Copa del Rey match where Atleti demonstrated its offensive power.
Despite that match, the Czech goalkeeper’s gesture reflects that football is much more than rivalries and that admiration for a team like Atlético de Madrid transcends colors. A curious anecdote that demonstrates the universal appeal of the rojiblanco club and the passion it generates among lovers of this sport.

“Unwavering Cholo
Atlético de Madrid has faced a difficult period, with elimination from the Champions League and the Copa del Rey. However, the team’s resilience and the ‘Cholo’ Simeone’s philosophy remain the driving force to face the future.
After the Cup defeat against Barcelona, Simeone maintained his direct and concise style in the post-match interview. When asked about the team’s performance and Giménez’s statements, the coach responded with short phrases, reflecting the frustration of the moment but without losing composure.
Despite the Cup elimination and the distance from the league leadership, Simeone emphasized that the team is having a good season. His focus remains the same: work ‘game by game’ and not give up.

‘El Cholo’ is, according to Godín, the main architect in setting the team back on course, especially after a difficult period. Godín expressed his complete confidence in the continuity of Simeone’s cycle, arguing that its end will only come when the coach himself decides.
He also highlighted the quality of the current squad, emphasizing the potential of the young talents who have shone throughout the season. Godín, a benchmark for the fans, believes that Atlético’s future is in good hands, both due to Simeone’s experience and leadership and the energy and ambition of the young players.
While acknowledging the difficulty for Atlético to fight for the league title this season, Godín was optimistic about the future, trusting that the team will recover its best version. Spanish football figures such as Guti and Negredo were also present at the event, although their opinions focused more on the fight for the championship between other teams.

“Atlético
Atlético de Madrid has seen its title hopes vanish in the blink of an eye, following a period of adverse results. Despite having touched the leadership, the team has suffered a slump that has moved it away from its objectives.
The board is aware that, although the team is getting closer to the big ones, there is still a long way to go to compete and beat them consistently. A crucial aspect to improve is the support for Julián.
The player needs greater support from teammates who are up to his level, so that his talent can shine even more. The quality of the squad is a key point. While there are valuable players, there are areas that require important reinforcements, such as the position of midfielder and left back.
The lack of consistency on the left wing has also been an evident problem. Griezmann’s future has been the subject of debate, but the club will respect his decision. Regarding reinforcements, Atlético will seek to succeed with players who raise the level of the team in the most needed positions.
Simeone, a central figure in the project, has the support of the board. The coach is aware of the areas for improvement both individually and collectively, and will work together with the club to reverse the situation and compete for titles again.

Great news from the academy! Atlético B, led by Fernando Torres, is back on the winning track after defeating the bottom-ranked team in a vibrant match. This result not only injects morale into the team but also returns them to the playoff spots, a crucial objective for this season.
The match, played at the Cerro del Espino under heavy rain, saw an energized Atleti B from the start. The tactical approach, with a solid defense and full-backs pushing forward, quickly paid off.

The expert report is conclusive: the video has been edited. Faced with this revelation, the Union of Fan Groups demands full transparency from UEFA. They request the publication of the original video and audio to clarify the reasons behind the editing and any hidden intentions.
The Red and White fans feel aggrieved and seek to know the truth behind this controversial refereeing decision.

The passion and commitment of the Colchonero fans remain intact in the search for the truth.

“Barrios
Pablo Barrios has emerged as one of Atlético de Madrid’s standout players in recent matches against Barcelona and Real Madrid. Overcoming criticism following his previous expulsion, the youth player has demonstrated his worth in the Colchonero midfield.
Initially, Cholo Simeone experimented with a starting eleven without Barrios, testing Conor Gallagher alongside Rodrigo De Paul. However, Barrios eventually regained his place alongside the Argentine, proving to be a fundamental piece in the team’s scheme.
His performance against Barcelona was outstanding, leading the team and showing a high level against players of the caliber of De Jong and Pedri. Barrios’ resurgence is one of the most positive notes in recent weeks for Atlético.
He has left behind the difficult moments and has evolved both mentally and in terms of football. His passing accuracy is remarkable, as he demonstrated in the matches against Barcelona and Real Madrid, where he showed high effectiveness in ball distribution, even under pressure from the opponent.
At a crucial moment in the season, where title options have faded, Barrios’ growth becomes a key factor for the Club World Cup. Barrios will travel to the United States with the team, having been released by the under-21 national team, establishing himself as one of the young promises of Spanish football and a pillar for the future of Atlético de Madrid.

“Griezmann
2025 has not been the dream year for Antoine Griezmann, who, along with Atlético de Madrid, has seen the titles they aspired to vanish. His individual performance has been the subject of debate, fueling speculation about his future.
Although he has a contract with the club until 2026, Enrique Cerezo himself has confirmed that the final decision on where he will play next season rests with Griezmann himself, who could choose to continue at Atleti or explore the MLS.
During the match against Barcelona, the fans at the Metropolitano showed a division of opinions when he was substituted, highlighting the pressure on the player. While he received applause, whistles were also heard, reflecting the frustration with his poor performance in key matches.
Despite his undeniable talent, some point to a lack of competitive commitment on the field, which has affected his performance. The question of whether his physique has reached its limit, now that he is over 34 years old, persists.
Although last season his slump was attributed to an ankle injury, this time the concern focuses on whether Griezmann has exhausted his optimal level. The Colchoneros fans hope that the ‘7’ will recover his best version and continue to shine with the red and white jersey.

“Ups and Downs at the Metropolitano
Atlético de Madrid faces a new challenge with the recent injuries of Rodrigo de Paul and Samu Lino, confirmed absentees for the crucial match against Sevilla. This setback comes at a delicate moment in the season, where the team seeks to consolidate its position at the top of the standings.

This will be the fourth time he has faced Atlético, having lost the previous three encounters. In the first leg, Saúl came on as a substitute in a match that Atlético rallied to win with a final score of 4-3.
Despite the expectations placed on him as one of Sevilla’s captains, Saúl has faced challenges, including suspensions and an injury that kept him sidelined for several games.
However, his coach, García Pimienta, highlights his leadership, professionalism, and versatility in midfield, confident that he will be an important player in the final stretch of the season. Although his loan to Sevilla includes clauses for a possible renewal, his long-term future is not entirely defined.
An interesting offer could allow him to leave, saving Atlético part of his salary. With several games ahead, Saúl has the opportunity to earn a place in the hearts of Sevilla fans, starting with this match against his former team.

“The Penalty’s Shadow Over the Metropolitano”
Since that fateful penalty shootout in the Champions League, something has changed at Atlético and among its fans. You can feel it in the air, from the subway to the depths of the Metropolitano. The memory lingers like a nightmare, an eternal dream that slipped through their fingers.
After Julián’s penalty, the team suffered another setback in the Cup, but the Champions League wound remained open. The obsession with the ‘big-eared’ trophy, that longing to close a historical wound, seems to haunt the club.
Simeone, as always, steps up and verbalizes what many prefer to ignore. The blow was hard and still echoes in the Metropolitano, bothering those who wish to see Atleti defeated: rivals, internal critics, and false neutrals who long for a less combative team.
The Copa match against Barça evidenced the damage done. In the end, that penalty that still floats in the Metropolitano seems to have achieved its objective, although the Atlético fans are confident that one day it will dissipate and allow the team to continue fighting.

With 27 points still at stake in LaLiga, the objective is to climb positions and honor the club’s history. The board conveys that it would not be the first time that Cholo’s Atleti has recovered from a setback. The club has demonstrated its ability to react in the past.
After tough defeats, the team found the strength to win the Spanish Super Cup and the Europa League, demonstrating its resilience. Even after critical moments, such as the pandemic stoppage, the team resurfaced to secure their place in the Champions League and build the road to the League title.
The board highlights the team’s competitiveness, even facing rivals with higher budgets. The effort and dedication in each match is valued, fighting head to head against the best teams. Therefore, they trust the team’s ability to react and return to the path of triumph.

The Rojiblanco coach analyzed Atlético’s situation after being eliminated in the Copa and Champions League, acknowledging that the team is now third in LaLiga, nine points behind the leader.
Simeone faces the match at the Sánchez Pizjuán with important absences such as Giménez due to suspension, and Lino and De Paul due to injury. Despite this setback, El Cholo expressed confidence in the team’s potential and in the recovery of key players such as Koke, opening the possibility for Llorente to occupy the vacant position.
The Argentine coach emphasized the legacy that the team is building, transforming possibilities into real options to compete. He stressed the importance of focusing on LaLiga and competing it to the end.
He did not want to dwell on what happened in the last month, highlighting the team’s good performance in the Champions League and Copa, although he acknowledged having been surpassed by a great rival in the Copa.

Cholo Simeone is optimistic and focused on the future of Atlético de Madrid, ensuring that the team still has room for growth. In the press conference before the match against Sevilla, Simeone conveyed a message of ambition and confidence in the legacy being built.
He highlighted the importance of focusing on the present, starting with the difficult match against a Sevilla side that, despite not getting the expected results, is competing well. Simeone did not hesitate to show his support for Griezmann, stating that he has no doubts about his performance.
Avoiding focusing on past results, the Argentine coach prefers to focus on LaLiga, competing until the end in the best possible way and looking for ways for the team to continue growing.
With De Paul out, Simeone is analyzing the alternatives, considering the return of Koke and the possibility of using Llorente in midfield. The coach emphasized that since his arrival at Atlético, he has always sought the club’s growth and that, although the road is not easy, the legacy being left is fundamental.

“Atlético Never Gives Up
Atlético de Madrid continues to give reasons to believe. Despite many writing them off in the fight for LaLiga, the Rojiblancos once again demonstrated their unwavering faith, rescuing valuable points in added time.
Similar to the 15-16 season, where they came back from a large points deficit against the leader, the team continues to fight with grit and determination. Amidst prominent figures like Julián, De Paul and Oblak, the solidity of Barrios emerges, a key player in the midfield and author of a goal worth its weight in gold.
His consistent performance and intelligence in the game have made him a cornerstone of the team. On the other hand, the situation of Griezmann, a club legend and all-time top scorer, is raised, whose current performance is not up to par with his greatness.
While his legacy is indisputable, it is suggested to consider a farewell befitting his figure, unless he resurfaces at the Club World Cup. Julián Alvarez is establishing himself as a penalty specialist, demonstrating confidence and effectiveness.
With a large number of goals in his first season, he has become a fundamental player for the team. Despite the internal situation that Sevilla is experiencing, where its fans are protesting against the Board, Atlético remains focused on its goal: to fight each game with the passion and dedication that characterize the club. The Metropolitano, as always, will be a fortress where the Colchonero fans will cheer tirelessly.

“Atlético Faces a Sevilla in Crisis”
Atlético de Madrid visited a turbulent Sánchez-Pizjuán, marked by the strong protest of the Sevilla fans towards their board. The home team arrived at the match after two consecutive defeats and without victories at home so far this year, a situation that exacerbated the fans’ discontent.
Hundreds of Sevilla fans demonstrated around the stadium before the match, protesting against the current management and demanding profound changes in the club’s structure. Atlético’s arrival was hostile, with whistles directed at the team bus, while Sevilla was received with flares and chants.
The match presented an opportunity for Sevilla to reverse the sporting situation and calm tempers, and for Atlético, the perfect occasion to demonstrate their solidity and ambition this season.
The tension was palpable, but Atlético, with its characteristic grit, sought to take advantage of the adverse climate to add three vital points in the competition. The Rojiblancos, always competitive, faced this challenge with the mentality of a great team, ready to impose their game and take the victory from a stadium in turmoil.

“Atleti
A dream day for Atleti! After being eliminated from the Cup, Simeone’s team has shown its grit and ambition, closing the gap with its direct rivals in the fight for La Liga. Barcelona’s draw and Real Madrid’s defeat have been a boost, both in spirit and mathematically, for the Rojiblancos.
Now, Atleti is just three points away from second place, a distance that invites dreams of reaching that position. Although the difference with the lead is still considerable, the advantage of not having European commitments or cup finals could be a key factor in allowing the players to arrive fresher for each match, concentrating all their energy on La Liga.
Let’s remember the feat of the 15-16 season, when Cholo and his pupils managed to come back nine points in just three games. Atleti, despite starting losing at the Sánchez Pizjuán, knew how to turn the score around and add three vital points, taking advantage of the stumbles of their competitors. This team never gives up and always fights to the end! The Rojiblanca fans trust in the team’s ability to continue climbing positions and give battle in every match. Aúpa Atleti!

“Atlético
After a complicated month with eliminations in the Champions League and Copa del Rey, Atlético de Madrid seeks a morale boost in LaLiga. ‘Cholo’ Simeone’s team, known for its resilience, refuses to let a slump tarnish a season that once sparked excitement with 15 consecutive wins and outstanding European performances.
Although the road has been tough, Atlético’s competitive spirit remains intact. A victory in Sevilla is crucial to keep league hopes alive and avoid a crisis of confidence.
Atlético has proven capable of overcoming considerable distances in the past, such as in the 2015-16 season, when they cut points against league leaders Barcelona in a few rounds.
The match at the Pizjuán is a turning point to define the course of the season, beyond securing Champions League qualification and participation in the Club World Cup. The team relies on its fighting ability and its history to overcome this difficult moment.
Atlético, with their unwavering faith, will seek a victory in Nervión to revitalize their aspirations and maintain the pulse in the competition. A victory to reaffirm the team’s identity and send a clear message that the season still has much to offer.
06.04.2025 04:27 / Marca
“Griezmann
Cholo Simeone maintains his faith in Antoine Griezmann, who is expected to remain in the starting eleven for Atlético de Madrid despite a recent dip in performance. The Argentine coach trusts the Frenchman’s talent, who has been a fundamental pillar of the team, accumulating a large number of minutes on the field.
Simeone has no intention of punishing this dip in form, thus supporting one of his biggest stars. Griezmann would form the spearhead of the attack alongside Julián, who has also earned an important place in the coach’s scheme.
The accumulation of matches and physical exertion have taken their toll on De Paul, who is suffering a muscle injury. His absence adds to that of Lino, who is also injured.
Despite these absences, the Rojiblancos team is confident in the depth of their squad to face the upcoming challenges with the same intensity and passion that has always characterized them. The Metropolitano remains the fortress where Atlético will seek to reaffirm their game and continue to reap important victories.

“Atlético Resurges in Seville
Atlético de Madrid secured a crucial victory in their visit to the Pizjuán, boosting their La Liga aspirations after slip-ups from their direct rivals. A therapeutic win for the Rojiblancos that came after the Copa setback.
Oblak, solid in goal, made a spectacular save that kept the team in the game. The defense, led by Giménez, showed solidity against Sevilla’s pressure. In midfield, Barrios shone with a decisive 1-2, redeeming a game where creation eluded him, while Koke contributed his usual intensity.
Griezmann, although he didn’t close well in the play of the rival goal, converted the penalty he himself provoked, leveling the match. Simeone, seeking to revitalize the team after a difficult period, opted for tactical changes and the entry of players like Riquelme and Savic in the second half to refresh the team.
Although Correa and Memphis had few minutes, they added to the final attempt to seal the victory. In summary, a hard-fought and essential triumph for Atlético, demonstrating their ambition and ability to react in the fight for the league title.

“Red and White Full-backs
Atlético de Madrid is experiencing a moment of readjustment in its full-back positions, where Simeone is looking for the perfect formula. After the Champions League match against Real Madrid, the Argentine coach has tried different combinations, seeking solidity and depth on the wings.
In the recent match against Barcelona, up to five players occupied the full-back positions, demonstrating that the starting position is not guaranteed for anyone. Reinildo and Azpilicueta started the match, but were replaced at halftime.
Galán and Llorente also had their opportunity, although not all performed at the expected level. Nahuel also played minutes, but his performance was not convincing. Azpilicueta, despite his experience, is proving to be a valuable option, capable of playing in both lanes.
His performance against Espanyol, including a goal, and his defensive work against Raphinha (Barcelona) give him points. On the other hand, Marcos Llorente could return to the midfield, freeing up the right wing for Nahuel Molina.
On the left side, the competition between Galán and Reinildo remains open. The match against Barcelona left some doubts about the second, opening the door to new opportunities for the first. Simeone has the last word in this search for balance, with the aim of maximizing the team’s performance in the final stretch of the season. The ‘Cholo’ will have to choose the players that best suit his tactical scheme.

“Barrios, the soul of Atlético in one goal”
Pablo Barrios has emerged as a symbol of Atlético de Madrid’s unwavering spirit, demonstrating that faith and constant effort pay off. His recent goal, long-awaited and celebrated, not only meant a crucial victory but also reflected the fighting philosophy that Simeone has instilled in the team.
Barrios, recognized for his talent and his important role in midfield, especially in demanding matches, responded to the coach’s demand to improve his goal-scoring facet. His goal, the result of impeccable ball control and finishing, was a just reward for his dedication.
As Koke pointed out, Barrios’s goal was a joy for the whole team, an impulse to keep insisting. Atlético has demonstrated an admirable ability not to give up, arriving in full physical condition in the final minutes of the matches thanks to Luis Piñedo’s preparation.
The numbers speak for themselves: a significant percentage of their goals have been scored in the final stages, reflecting their persistence and faith. In addition, the team has managed to come back in several matches, demonstrating their mental strength and determination to overcome adversity. Barrios’s goal symbolizes this fighting spirit and confirms the identity of Atlético de Madrid, a team that never stops believing.

“Atlético Fans Question UEFA Video
The International Union of Atlético de Madrid Fan Clubs has raised its voice, denouncing a possible editing in the video presented by UEFA regarding the controversial penalty. An expert report, commissioned by the Union of Fan Clubs, suggests that the video disseminated by the football organization may not be the original.
José Luis Rivas, an expert involved in the preparation of the report, stated to ‘Cadena Ser’ that the analysis by the working team reveals inconsistencies between the television video and the one provided by the Union of Fan Clubs.
According to the expert, the entropy of the UEFA video presents unusual variations, indicating that it does not come directly from the original camera. Although the expert avoids speculating on the intentionality of the editing, he does confirm that it is not a common practice to find so many irregularities.
The Union of Fan Clubs has formally requested the original video and audio from UEFA, seeking transparency and clarity in the matter. The objective is to clarify the reasons behind the detected editing.
Faced with the lack of response from UEFA, the Union of Fan Clubs does not rule out resorting to ordinary justice to defend its legitimate claims and get to the bottom of the matter. The Colchoneros fans are determined to seek the truth and defend the interests of the club, demanding clear and convincing explanations regarding this controversial issue.

“Atlético
Atlético de Madrid demonstrates its fighting spirit in the battle for LaLiga, driven by Simeone’s masterful management and the unwavering commitment of the squad. In a crucial match against Sevilla, the absence of key figures like Giménez and De Paul did not prevent the Rojiblancos from demonstrating their depth and adaptability.
Simeone, with his strategic vision, knew how to revitalize players who seemed relegated, finding alternatives to compensate for the lack of Griezmann. The entry of players such as Sorloth, Riquelme, Galán, Koke, and Lemar proved decisive in turning the game around.
Their contribution was essential in destabilizing Sevilla and finding the path to victory. Sorloth provided his power in attack, Riquelme and Galán injected depth into the attack, while Koke and Lemar provided criteria and control in midfield.
The commitment of these players, who, despite not having many minutes, demonstrated their worth and professionalism, is especially noteworthy.
The resurgence of Lemar and Riquelme, who were among the least used players, added to the readaptation of Galán after a complicated match, and the return of captain Koke, reinforce the idea of a united team willing to give it their all.
The commitment and the mentality that everyone is important, even those who have to wait for their opportunity, are fundamental in this Atlético. Simeone greatly values the attitude of players like Witsel, who despite not having many minutes, continues to work and support the team. This collective spirit is the key for Atlético to continue fighting with passion and determination.
