“Atlético
Atlético de Madrid faces a crucial match this season, with the possibility of reaching a new Copa del Rey final. The rival, a Barcelona in great shape, will not make it easy. Diego Pablo Simeone, true to his style, is working intensely to find the ideal eleven that can face the Catalan team.
In training, El Cholo has tested different lineups, generating uncertainty about the final choice. In one of the tests, the Argentine coach opted for a team with Molina, Galán and Gallagher, showing his confidence in these players.
However, in the last session, he introduced variants, bringing in Reinildo, Azpilicueta and Barrios, suggesting that he is looking for a balance between defensive solidity and control in midfield.
The possible inclusion of Barrios in the starting eleven is striking, considering his potential to bring freshness and dynamism to the team. Azpilicueta’s experience could also be key to containing the Blaugrana attack.
One of the rehearsed formations included Musso; Azpilicueta, Giménez, Lenglet, Reinildo; Llorente, Barrios, De Paul, Giuliano; Julián and Antoine Griezmann. Another alternative considered had Musso; Molina, Giménez, Lenglet, Galán; Llorente, Gallagher, De Paul, Giuliano; Julián and Antoine Griezmann.
Regardless of the chosen lineup, a combative, intense Atlético is expected with the ambition to overcome Barcelona and advance to the final. Rojiblancos fans trust Simeone’s ability to find the formula that allows them to celebrate a new success at the Metropolitano.

“Rakitic’s Colchonero Flirtation
The red and white heart always beat close to Ivan Rakitic. The talented Croatian midfielder, currently enjoying a great stage at Hajduk Split under the direction of Gennaro Gattuso, revealed on ‘Tiempo de Juego’ of Cadena COPE that he was about to wear the Atlético de Madrid shirt on multiple occasions.
Since his days at Schalke 04, Atlético was already tracking him. The interest persisted during his time at Sevilla and even when he shone at FC Barcelona. Rakitic confessed that destiny meant that his arrival at the Metropolitano did not materialize, although it was very close.
“I was about to sign for Atlético de Madrid three or four times,” Rakitic declared, making clear the strong bond that existed between him and the club. On one occasion, the agreement was practically a done deal. Conversations were frequent throughout the years, even during his time at Barcelona.
However, when the opportunity arose to join the Catalan club, Rakitic opted for that path. “With Atlético, the agreement was almost closed,” the midfielder concluded, leaving Colchoneros fans imagining what could have been.

“Atleti Dreams of the Cup”
Atlético de Madrid is gambling its season on the Copa del Rey. With La Liga practically ruled out due to the distance with FC Barcelona, Cholo Simeone’s team focuses all its energy on the KO tournament, where it sees a real opportunity to lift a title.
The road to the final goes through overcoming FC Barcelona, a rival in great shape. After two consecutive defeats in LaLiga and a considerable point disadvantage with the leader, Atleti is forced to concentrate on the Cup and the Club World Cup, although the Cup is presented as a more tangible option, since it is only two games away from glory, while the World Cup involves seven games.
The irregularity shown in the League, with only three victories in the last ten games, has distanced the team from the fight for the championship, allowing other competitors to approach in the standings.
The statements of the technical staff and the players reflect a mentality more focused on securing qualification for European competitions than on shortening distances with the leaders. Atlético has not played in a Copa del Rey final for more than a decade, specifically since 2013.
The second leg of the semi-final against FC Barcelona, which will take place at the Metropolitano, is presented as a crucial battle, with the overall score tied. This confrontation marks the eighth occasion in which both teams meet in the Cup semi-finals, with precedents favorable to Atlético in the most recent duels.

“Mastantuono
Atlético de Madrid, always attentive to young promises, has set its sights on Franco Mastantuono, the talented 17-year-old player who dazzles at River Plate. His performance has sparked the interest of several European clubs, including Atleti, which, according to reports, sent emissaries to follow him closely in Argentina.
Despite the Colchoneros’ interest, the competition is strong, with several Premier League clubs also following in his footsteps. Journalist Sebastián Srur points out that, while Atlético scouts were present at the Monumental, he finds it difficult for the operation to prosper, mainly due to the player’s high release clause: 45 million euros.
River Plate remains firm and will only accept offers that reach said clause, rejecting any lower proposal. Mastantuono, for his part, feels comfortable at his current club and is in no hurry to make the leap to Europe, although it is a dream he pursues. One factor that could play in Atlético’s favor is that his representative is Augusto Fernández, former player and legend of the Rojiblanco club. Will Mastantuono be the next star to shine at the Metropolitano?

“Atleti
After the European uproar, it’s time to focus on what’s important: the second leg of the semi-final against Barça. Despite the doubts and the difficulty of the first leg, the Atleti fans must remain calm and trust the team.
Atleti always rises again when it seems weakest, showing its characteristic spirit. As in that ‘91 semi-final against the same opponent, which ended with the first title, the team is not the favorite, but has the advantage of a fan base that will push it forward with its support at the Metropolitano.
The fighting spirit and total dedication are crucial, as Arteche said: ‘Against Madrid you have to sweat blood’. The future of the match is uncertain, but pride in the team is undeniable. Confidence in the Cholo, the players and the fans is total. Despite historical adversities, Atleti will always continue to fight and fight until the end. Aúpa Atleti!

“Simeone Praises Lewandowski
Diego Pablo Simeone, Atlético de Madrid’s coach, didn’t hold back in praising Robert Lewandowski, FC Barcelona’s forward, ahead of their upcoming match. El Cholo highlighted the Pole’s exceptional season, emphasizing his perseverance, hard work, and the consistency he has maintained throughout his career.
For Simeone, Lewandowski is a role model, a ‘9’ from whom one can learn and admire. The Atlético coach acknowledged that the striker was on his agenda a few years ago. With a remarkable goalscoring record, surpassing previous season’s records, Lewandowski is establishing himself as a benchmark in Spanish football.
His performance and contribution to the team demonstrate his great confidence and concentration in every match. The Colchonero coach especially valued the striker’s ability to stay at the top and his commitment to the game. Undoubtedly, a formidable rival to whom Atlético de Madrid will have to pay special attention in their next clash.

“Musso
Atlético de Madrid is preparing to face a crucial challenge, and all eyes are on the goal. After the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final against FC Barcelona, where the team conceded four goals in a short period, a debate arose about who should occupy the goal: Juan Musso or Jan Oblak?.
However, Diego Pablo Simeone seems to have a clear decision. Despite the tough defeat at Montjuïc, the Colchoneros coach maintains a solid faith in Musso. Until that match, the Argentinian goalkeeper had been a wall, holding the title of ‘Zamora’ of the Copa del Rey thanks to his solid performances.
Before the thrashing, Musso had only conceded one goal in six matches, demonstrating his worth under the three sticks. The coaching staff’s confidence in Musso is based on concrete data. Saving the unfortunate match in Barcelona, the goalkeeper has offered an image of security and sobriety.
In addition, it is remembered that Oblak also conceded four goals in a similar span during a LaLiga match at the Metropolitano. Therefore, everything points to Simeone continuing to bet on Musso, backing his career and trusting his ability to protect the Rojiblanca goal. The Cholo’s decision sends a message of support and reinforces the team’s morale in the face of upcoming challenges.

“Cholo Appeals to Courage in Copa Semifinal”
Atlético de Madrid is preparing for a crucial duel in the Copa del Rey semifinal, where they will seek to secure their passage to the grand final.
Coach Diego Pablo Simeone conveyed a message of optimism and ambition in the lead-up to the match, highlighting the incredible support of the fans at the Metropolitano, which will be fundamental to boosting the team.
Simeone emphasized the good season the team is having, competing with grit in both the Champions League and La Liga, and now fighting for the Copa title. Faced with opinions that detract from the team’s options, Cholo was respectful but firm, trusting in the ability of his players to compete at the highest level.
An intense and disputed match is expected, where Atlético will seek to repeat the good feelings of previous matches against a rival that stands out for its offensive game and possession.
Simeone confirmed Musso’s starting position in goal and praised Lewandowski’s career, highlighting his perseverance and professionalism. For Simeone, the word ‘failure’ has no place if there is dedication and commitment.
The Rojiblancos face this challenge with the hope of achieving a new title, aware that the road is built match by match. With the full squad available, except for the already known absences, Atlético entrusts itself to the courage and passion that characterize it to take another step towards glory.

“El Jebari shines at Cartagena
Salim El Jebari, an Atlético de Madrid youth player on loan at FC Cartagena, is making his mark in the Second Division. The Colchonero club is closely following his progress, hoping that he will become a key player in the team’s future.
El Jebari, who plays as an attacker, joined Cartagena in the winter market after overcoming an injury that prevented him from shining at Atlético de Madrid B. After a period of adaptation, the young talent has begun to show his quality, accumulating three goals so far this season (one with Atlético B and two with Cartagena).
His most recent performance against Castellón, where he scored a crucial goal, has reaffirmed his potential. Previously, El Jebari had already tasted scoring with the Blanquinegra shirt in Riazor, demonstrating his ability to make a difference.
With a contract until 2026, Atlético de Madrid will carefully evaluate his future at the end of the season. All options are on the table, from a renewal with a new loan to a First or Second Division club to a possible definitive sale. However, one thing is clear: El Jebari has the talent to succeed and Atlético de Madrid does not want to miss the opportunity to have him in their ranks.

Atlético de Madrid faces FC Barcelona in a crucial Copa del Rey match, a game that has mobilized a significant security deployment. The Deputy Mayor of Madrid, Inma Sanz, has reported that around 110 municipal officers will be deployed at the Metropolitano, a higher number than allocated for the match between Real Madrid and Real Sociedad.
This is because the match between the Rojiblancos and Culés has been classified as high-risk. In addition to the police presence, there will be support from the drone section to ensure security around the stadium.
The Madrid City Council, through the Municipal Police and Samur-Civil Protection, makes itself available to the National Police and the Government Delegation to coordinate this device and ensure the well-being of all attendees. The Rojiblanca fans can rest assured knowing that all necessary measures have been taken to enjoy a vibrant match in complete safety, supporting the team in search of victory in this important cup semi-final.

“Atlético
Cholo Simeone surprised Atlético fans with a bold and refreshing lineup for the crucial Copa del Rey match against FC Barcelona. The Argentine coach opted for fresh blood and proven experience to face the challenge at the Metropolitano.
In defense, the inclusion of Le Normand in the center of the defense generated excitement, bringing solidity and hierarchy to the Rojiblanca backline. Reinildo Mandava and César Azpilicueta took over the full-back positions, providing defensive security and offensive projection.
The midfield was renewed with the energy and talent of Pablo Barrios, who accompanied the tireless Marcos Llorente and Rodrigo De Paul in the middle.
In attack, the magic of Antoine Griezmann was joined by the freshness and goalscoring instinct of Julián Álvarez and the spark of Giuliano Simeone, seeking to unbalance the Culé defense and unleash euphoria in the stands. A lineup with ambition, talent and the characteristic spirit of Atlético, ready to give everything in search of victory and passage to the next round. Aúpa Atleti!

Attention, Rojiblancos! Atlético de Madrid has a great chance to compete in the next Spanish Super Cup. Following Real Sociedad’s recent elimination in the Copa del Rey, Real Madrid has virtually secured its presence in the final, which opens a valuable door for our Atleti.
According to the rules, the two finalists of the Copa del Rey and the top two finishers in LaLiga are the teams that will compete in the Super Cup. With Real Madrid virtually qualified and with the possibility of Atleti reaching the Copa final, a spot in the Super Cup could be ours.
If Real Madrid, already qualified for the Copa final, finishes in the top three of LaLiga, the fourth-placed team in the league will get the last spot. Atleti is fighting hard to be among the Copa finalists, which would give us the coveted pass to the tournament.
Let’s continue to support the team with the passion that characterizes us! The Metropolitano must be a fortress and each game a final. The dream of the Super Cup is more alive than ever, and with the support of the fans, Atleti can achieve it. Aúpa Atleti!

“Simeone vs. Szczesny
The Metropolitano prepares for a crucial Copa del Rey clash between Atlético de Madrid and FC Barcelona, a duel that transcends football and delves into family history.
The match revives the rivalry between the Simeone and Szczesny families, a saga that began in the 96-97 Champions League season, when Diego Pablo Simeone and Maciej Szczesny faced each other defending the colors of Atlético de Madrid and Widzew Lodz respectively.
In those encounters, Atleti emerged victorious on both occasions, with a standout performance by ‘Cholo’ in the first leg. Years later, history repeats itself with their sons, Giuliano Simeone and Wojciech Szczesny, who have already faced each other on the field.
So far, Szczesny has kept his goal unbeaten against Giuliano’s attacks. Previously, Wojciech and Diego Pablo had crossed paths in European competitions, in memorable encounters that left a mark on the Colchoneros fans. Tonight’s match at the Metropolitano promises to be another chapter in this fascinating story, where the football legacy of two families intertwines in the search for a place in the Copa del Rey final. The Red and White fans eagerly await a new triumph that fuels the Atleti legend.

Tomás Reñones, Atlético de Madrid’s ‘Team Manager’, has conveyed a message of optimism and determination after a tough setback. Acknowledging that the elimination in the Cup was a blow, Reñones insists that the team has the ability to overcome this obstacle.
‘We tried, we made an effort,’ said Reñones, highlighting the team’s commitment, especially in the second half of the match. Despite not having achieved the desired result, the message is clear: there is no time for regrets, the focus is on the immediate future.
‘We still have a way to go,’ emphasizes the ‘Team Manager’, stressing that, although some doors have been closed, there are still important goals to achieve. The next challenge is Sevilla, a crucial match to demonstrate the team’s resilience.
Reñones fully trusts in the strength of the dressing room, highlighting the presence of players with international experience who will know how to lead and overcome this situation. ‘We have a dressing room with many internationals, with a lot of experience, they will all know how to pull the cart,’ he assured. Finally, the most important message is for the fans: ‘This fanbase, which has been constantly with us, deserves this effort and this commitment to show that, although we have fallen, we can get up again’. A call for unity and unconditional support at this key moment of the season. Aúpa Atleti!

“Cerezo
Enrique Cerezo, president of Atlético de Madrid, expressed optimism and ambition regarding the team’s future. After the board of directors’ lunch prior to an important Copa del Rey match, Cerezo highlighted the team’s good spirits despite the tough Champions League elimination.
He emphasized that the season is being positive, with the team in the Copa semi-finals and still with options in LaLiga. Regarding Simeone’s continuity, Cerezo was blunt: the club is delighted with the coach and his work over 13 years.
There are no doubts or questions about it. In addition, the Colchoneros’ president enthusiastically envisions the possibility of a Copa final against Real Madrid, describing it as an unparalleled opportunity to redeem possible past mistakes.
Regarding other current football issues, Cerezo preferred not to enter into controversies about the registration of players from other teams, leaving the responsibility to LaLiga. However, he made it clear that he likes to see good matches with great players. For the president, both Atlético de Madrid and Barcelona are teams that display attractive and quality football.

“Julián Álvarez
Atlético de Madrid places much of its hopes of reaching the Copa del Rey final on Julián Álvarez, the team’s top scorer. The Argentinian international, world champion, has established himself as the franchise player of the rojiblanco club.
With 23 goals in 45 games this season, Álvarez has become a fundamental piece for the Colchoneros’ attack. ‘La Araña’ has proven his worth in important matches, both against Real Madrid and against FC Barcelona.
In the thrilling 4-4 first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals, Álvarez opened the scoring with an accurate header and assisted Antoine Griezmann for the second goal. His impact was also felt in the LaLiga match played at the Metropolitano, where he scored the first goal.
Julián Álvarez’s importance transcends his goals, as his contribution to the collective game is undeniable. His goal-scoring absence has coincided with the team’s most difficult moments in LaLiga.
In fact, in three of the last four league victories, Álvarez has been key with his goals, including the 1-0 against Osasuna and Athletic, coming off the bench, and the double in the 0-3 victory against Valencia at Mestalla. In short, Atlético de Madrid relies on the talent and determination of Julián Álvarez to overcome the challenges and reach the coveted Copa del Rey final.

Atlético de Madrid is preparing for a crucial match against FC Barcelona, and Diego Pablo Simeone, true to his style, is exploring various tactical options to surprise the rival.
In recent training sessions, El Cholo has tested interesting variations, especially in midfield and at full-back, seeking the perfect balance between defensive solidity and offensive capability. In midfield, the presence of Rodrigo de Paul seems assured, and Pablo Barrios is emerging as a key player.
The question lies in who will accompany him, with Conor Gallagher contesting the position. As for the full-backs, Simeone is evaluating between the experience of César Azpilicueta and the attacking projection of Nahuel Molina on the right, while on the left, Reinildo Mandava could return to the starting eleven.
The goal will be guarded by Juan Musso, with a central defense made up of Clement Lenglet and José María Giménez. In attack, Marcos Llorente, Giuliano Simeone, Julián Alvarez and Antoine Griezmann remain fundamental pieces in El Cholo’s scheme.
The key will be intensity and precision in high pressing, seeking to recover the ball in the opponent’s half and take advantage of the spaces left by Barcelona. The Metropolitano is preparing to experience a passionate night of football, where the rojiblancos’ grit and heart will be decisive.

Atlético de Madrid is preparing for a crucial match, and the Rojiblancos fans are already warming up to turn the Metropolitano into a real fortress. As is tradition, the Colchoneros supporters are planning an epic welcome for the team on Avenida de Arcentales, hours before the start of the match.
Simeone fully trusts the unconditional support of the fans, highlighting the incredible energy they transmit and which drives the team to victory. The Argentine coach knows that the support from the stands will be essential to overcome this important challenge.
The fans will mobilize early to create an electrifying atmosphere, with chants, flags, red flares and possibly fireworks, seeking to intimidate the rival and inject an extra dose of motivation to the Atlético players. The idea is clear: turn the Metropolitano into a Rojiblanco hell.
All Atlético fans are encouraged to gather on Avenida de Arcentales from 7:30 p.m., waving their flags and scarves, to guide the team with their overflowing passion. The goal is clear: transmit all the strength and support necessary for Atlético de Madrid to emerge victorious and advance to the next phase. The fans, the 12th player, ready to roar!

“Reinildo, the red and white wall against Barça”
Reinildo Mandava is emerging as a key piece in Simeone’s scheme to stop FC Barcelona. His speed, physical power and defensive solidity make him an ideal antidote against unbalanced players like Lamine Yamal, who has already demonstrated his potential in the previous league match at the Metropolitano.
In that match, Reinildo was the defender with the best statistical rating, demonstrating his ability to minimize the impact of the young blaugrana talent, being dribbled past only once and winning two of the four ’tackles’ he attempted.
This could be one of the last high-demand matches for Reinildo with Atlético, as the automatic renewal of his contract seems complicated. A clause that requires his participation in more than 50% of the matches, playing at least 45 minutes, seems unattainable, given that he has currently only played 37% of the matches.
To activate the automatic renewal, Reinildo would need to play 15 of the remaining 18 matches for more than 45 minutes, an unlikely scenario. Faced with this situation, both the player and the club will have to sit down to negotiate a possible contract extension.
The automatic renewal through the clause seems unfeasible, which leaves the future of the Mozambican defender up in the air. However, his performance and commitment to the colchonero team make him a valuable asset that the club will surely want to retain.

“Atlético vs. Barça
Atlético de Madrid is preparing for a crucial match against Barcelona, with their sights set on the Copa del Rey. The Rojiblancos will look to take advantage of their strength at the Metropolitano, where they have achieved 15 victories in their last 21 matches, suffering only two defeats.
However, Barcelona has proven to be a tough opponent at this stadium, accumulating three consecutive victories in their most recent visits. Atlético relies on the inspiration of Antoine Griezmann, their most decisive player with 8 assists this season.
Despite going several games without scoring, his talent is undeniable and his connection to the goal could be key for the team. Another name to watch is Alexander Sorloth, who has proven to be an important game-changer coming off the bench, with 9 goals in his last 6 duels against Barcelona.
The Colchoneros will seek to break a 12-year drought without lifting the Copa del Rey, a title that has eluded them since the victory against Real Madrid in 2013. The challenge is great, but the fighting spirit and determination that characterize Atlético de Madrid are powerful weapons to overcome the Blaugrana team. The Metropolitano, with its unconditional fans, will be a determining factor in propelling the team to victory in this crucial duel.

“Colchoneros Reaction
Atlético de Madrid faced a tough match where Barcelona took the lead with a goal from Ferrán Torres at the Metropolitano, corresponding to the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals. A goal that complicated the tie after the 4-4 draw in the first leg.
Barcelona dominated the first half, showing superiority over an Atlético side that was overwhelmed. The team also suffered from numerous yellow cards received, including Azpilicueta, Reinildo, De Paul, Julián Alvarez and coach Simeone himself.
Faced with this situation, Simeone made three drastic changes at half-time: Lenglet, Javi Galán and Sorloth entered the field, replacing Reinildo, Azpilicueta and Giuliano. These tactical changes implied an adjustment in the team’s scheme, moving to a 5-3-2, with Llorente at right back, Lenglet reinforcing the defense alongside Giménez and Le Normand, and Galán occupying the left back. A risky bet by Cholo seeking the team’s reaction.

“Atlético Almost Achieves Epic Comeback! Sorloth and the Disallowed Goal”
The Metropolitano vibrated with the intensity of the Copa del Rey semi-finals, in a match where Atlético de Madrid fought until the last second. A goal by Alexander Sorloth, which would have meant the draw in the tie against Barcelona, was disallowed in the 68th minute.
The Norwegian striker, who had entered in the second half, finished precisely after a pass from Julián Alvarez, beating Szczesny low. The Rojiblancos fans were already celebrating the 1-1, but the joy vanished when referee Munuera Montero, after consulting with VAR and the semi-automatic offside, invalidated the goal for a millimetric offside position.
Sorloth, who had already had a clear chance hitting the ball into the side netting, demonstrated his goalscoring instincts and his ability to generate danger. Despite the effort and commitment of the entire team, the disallowed goal weighed heavily, preventing Atlético from reaching the final. The determination and fighting spirit of the Colchoneros, however, left a great impression on their fans.

“Colchoneros’ Reaction
Javi Galán, after a difficult match, insists that Atlético de Madrid’s attitude did not falter at any point. The Rojiblanco player, who came on as a substitute in the second half, highlighted the team’s effort to turn the score around.
“From the first minute, everyone wanted to win the match,” Galán said, emphasizing that it is not a lack of commitment. He acknowledged the quality of the opponent and the difficulty of facing high-level players. Despite the adverse result, Galán conveyed a message of optimism and resilience.
“We are screwed, there is no other option but to get up,” he declared, encouraging his teammates and the fans to look forward. He stressed the importance of continuing to work hard, as there is still a long way to go and a crucial match next weekend.
The player highlighted the team’s reaction in the second half, where they created opportunities and demonstrated their fighting spirit. In short, a message of unity and determination to face the challenges that arise and continue to pursue Atlético de Madrid’s goals.

“Griezmann
Antoine Griezmann, the undisputed star of Atlético de Madrid, is preparing for a crucial duel. The French striker, a key figure in the rojiblanco scheme, seeks to rediscover his best version and his goal-scoring touch, after a period of drought that does not tarnish his great season.
Despite recent criticism, Griezmann remains a benchmark in the Colchonero attack and a fundamental player to aspire to great objectives. Interestingly, the next match gives him the opportunity to face the only team he has managed to score against in the last two months: FC Barcelona.
That goal, a valuable goal in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals in Montjuic, meant 0-2 in an exciting match that ended in a 4-4 draw. A special goal, also, for being the first that the Frenchman scored against the Blaugrana team since his return to Atlético.
Although Griezmann has accumulated 16 goals and 8 assists so far this season, numbers that demonstrate his quality and commitment, the Metropolitano longs to see him celebrate more often.
With the ambition of becoming the club’s all-time top scorer, surpassing the barrier of 200 goals (currently he has 197), the ‘Little Prince’ has a golden opportunity in this match to break his streak and delight the Rojiblanca fans again. History already has a special place reserved for him, especially for that 2016 Champions League tie against Barcelona. Go for it, Antoine!

Attention, Rojiblancos fans! The upcoming match between our Atlético de Madrid and FC Barcelona could mark a historic milestone in the Copa del Rey. After some vibrant semi-final matches, the number of goals scored is already impressive, approaching records from 60 years ago.

An unforgettable memory that now, at the Metropolitano, we have the opportunity to relive and even surpass. The first leg between Barça and Atlético was a festival of goals (4-4), leaving the door open for an exciting return match. Only one more goal separates us from equaling the highest-scoring semi-finals in the last 60 years! And if the claw and fighting spirit of our players remain intact, why not dream of surpassing those 24 goals? So you know, Colchoneros, this Wednesday we have an appointment at the Metropolitano.

But the name that has resonated the most in the colchonero environment is that of Enzo Fernández. Saviola spared no praise for the midfielder, highlighting his physical evolution and his aggressiveness in the game.
He considers him a tireless and very complete player, ideal for Simeone’s style. According to Saviola, Enzo is a “crack” who has been able to enhance his technical qualities with greater physical power and aggressiveness on the field.
He did not hesitate to say that “Atlético de Madrid would do wonderfully with him,” describing him as the type of player who fits perfectly into Cholo’s philosophy. Saviola also had words of praise for the Argentine National Team, highlighting the great work of Scaloni and his coaching staff in the team’s renewal. He considers that the Argentine midfield is one of the best in the world, with players like McAllister, Paredes, De Paul and, of course, Enzo Fernández, at a very high level.

“Colchoneros Intensity
A heart-stopping second leg match at the Metropolitano between our Atlético de Madrid and FC Barcelona. A vibrant encounter where intensity and fight were the predominant notes, especially in the first half.
The team showed its characteristic grit, being forced to go all out to stop the onslaught of a rival that sought to impose its game. From the early stages, the match was characterized by a rough game, with the Atleti players showing great dedication in each dispute.
The pressure from Barcelona caused our Colchoneros to resort to tactical fouls to cut the rhythm of the game, which resulted in several cautions. Azpilicueta received the first yellow card after a tackle on Raphinha, an action that was even reviewed by VAR.
Simeone’s protests from the sideline also earned him a yellow card. De Paul, Reinildo and Julián also saw the yellow card for tactical fouls. Despite the adversities, the team showed its fighting spirit and commitment, defending tooth and nail every ball. The fans, as always, played a fundamental role, encouraging incessantly and providing their unconditional support to the team. A match where the red and white passion was felt in every corner of the Metropolitano.

“Atleti
The first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final between Barcelona and Atlético was a real spectacle, and what a spectacle it was for betting houses too! With a goal fest, the match became a rollercoaster of emotions for both the teams and the bettors.
The key was a particular promotion: paying winning bets with a two-goal lead. After early goals from Griezmann and Julián, many fans celebrated their anticipated victory by betting on Atleti. But the joy was short-lived, as Barça came back, leaving everyone in suspense.
The climax came with the final draw, an agonizing goal that made even the draw bet a winner! A real chaos for the betting houses, who saw all possible combinations being rewarded.
Something similar happened in the League match, with an Atleti goal that triggered the early payout, although Barcelona eventually took the victory. The Rojiblancos are now preparing for a crucial clash at the Metropolitano. A key match for Simeone’s team, who will seek to make amends after the Champions League elimination and the distance in the League. A heart-stopping night is coming, where the Atleti spirit must shine intensely!

“Giménez
José María Giménez, captain of Atlético de Madrid, expressed his frustration after the match against FC Barcelona. He acknowledged that the team failed to impose their game from the start, which complicated the match.
He highlighted the quality of the opponent, who knew how to take advantage of their opportunities to take the lead. Despite the defeat, Giménez emphasized the importance of lifting their heads and focusing on finishing the season in the best possible way.
He acknowledged that the team is far from its objectives, but assured that they will fight until the end. The Colchoneros captain had words of thanks and apology for the fans. He highlighted the unconditional support they have given to the team throughout the season, especially in the Cup.
He regretted not having lived up to expectations at certain times and conveyed the message that, together, they are stronger. Giménez emphasized the need to maintain that connection between team and fans to face the challenges ahead.

“Koke is Back! Colchoneros Squad for Copa Clash”
Great news, Atlético fans! Simeone has called up Koke Resurrección for the crucial Copa del Rey match against FC Barcelona. The Rojiblanco captain, absent since his muscle injury suffered against Celta de Vigo on February 15, returns to the squad after missing the last eight games.
His presence is a huge boost for the team, which is looking for a comeback at the Metropolitano. Koke, a fundamental piece in Simeone’s scheme, was already part of the squad for the return leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Real Madrid, although he was not ultimately in the final list.
Now, fully recovered, he is expected to bring his experience and leadership in midfield. In addition to Koke’s return, the list also includes academy player Rayane Belid, who has been a constant in recent call-ups.
The only confirmed absence for the match is Ángel Correa, who continues to serve his suspension. With Oblak, Musso, Molina, Le Normand, Griezmann and company, Atlético de Madrid faces this important challenge with the hope of advancing in the Copa del Rey and bringing joy to their fans. Come on, Atleti!

“Atleti Seeks to Reverse the Dynamic After a Complicated March”
Atlético de Madrid faced March with optimism, competing in all competitions, something unusual in recent years with Simeone. February closed with an exciting draw against Barcelona in the first leg of the semi-finals, instilling morale in the team for the return leg at the Metropolitano.
March began with a narrow victory at home against Athletic Club, consolidating second place in LaLiga, one point behind leaders Barcelona, thanks to Julián Alvarez’s goal. However, the month was complicated by the 2-1 defeat to Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16.
Despite maintaining hope for the return leg, a visit to Getafe resulted in a painful comeback by the local team in the final minutes. The hardest blow came in the Champions League return leg: an insufficient victory and elimination on penalties after a controversial refereeing decision.
The team’s morale suffered, and the 2-4 defeat against Barcelona, after leading 2-0, highlighted a physical decline. The draw against Espanyol at the end of the month further distanced Atleti from the fight for LaLiga. Two wins, a draw and three defeats marked a difficult March.
To make matters worse, April began with elimination in the return leg of the Copa del Rey at the hands of Barcelona, leaving the Club World Cup as the only hope of lifting a title this season. Despite the setbacks, the fans are confident in the team’s ability to rebound and fight for what remains at stake.

Attention, Rojiblancos fans! Atlético is preparing for a crucial match in Seville, a historically difficult ground but where our team has shown character and determination.
While Sevilla has won three of their last four home games against Atleti, let’s remember the 0-2 victory in the 22/23 season with goals from Marcos Llorente and Morata! A result that injects optimism and confidence into the team.
Cholo Simeone, a man of the Seville house in his time as a player, knows the Sánchez-Pizjuán well. Under his baton, Atleti has known how to stand up, achieving important victories and draws that have been worth titles.
Of his fifteen visits, Simeone has only fallen five times, maintaining a balance with five wins and five draws. Reviewing the last matches, in last Liga’s match, Isaac scored the only goal, Acuña signed the minimum score in the 20/21 season and Ocampos undid in the last minute (2-1) the draw established by Rakitic and Felipe in the 21/22 season. Despite the difficulty of the match, Atlético will seek to impose its game, its defensive solidity and its attacking punch to add three vital points in the fight for the season’s objectives. We trust in victory in this exciting match!

“Atlético de Madrid, a force in UEFA”
Atlético de Madrid continues to leave its mark in Europe. Miguel Ángel Gil Marín, CEO of our club, remains a key figure within the UEFA Executive Committee.
His presence, representing the European Club Association (ECA) alongside important names such as PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi, underlines Atlético’s importance in the continental football scene.
Furthermore, Spanish football celebrates the incorporation of Rafael Louzán, president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, into the UEFA Executive Committee. This appointment is excellent news, as it allows our country to regain its voice in the decisions that shape the future of European football.
Louzán joins figures like Moshe Zoaretz, president of the Israeli Football Association, as key men for President Aleksander Ceferin. This new appointment reinforces the connection of Spanish football with European decision-making bodies, following in the footsteps of illustrious names such as Ángel María Villar and Javier Tebas. It is undoubtedly a source of pride for all Atlético fans to see how our club, through Gil Marín, plays a leading role in UEFA, contributing to the growth and development of the sport we love so much.

“Farewell to López Gallego, a Colchonero Legend”
The football world and the Atlético family are in mourning after the passing of Juan Antonio López Gallego at the age of 81. López Gallego, a talented left winger, left an indelible mark on Atlético de Madrid, where he conquered the League title in the 1969/1970 season.
The Metropolitano flies its flag at half-mast as a sign of respect and admiration. Before shining at Atleti, López Gallego stood out at Real Murcia, a club that saw him grow from its subsidiary, Imperial.
His skill and dedication caught the attention of the rojiblanco team, who did not hesitate to incorporate him into their ranks. After his successful time at Atlético, López Gallego continued his career at Sevilla, where he achieved promotion to the First Division, and later at Celta de Vigo.
After his time at Celta, he returned home to retire from professional football, although he remained linked to the sport as a coach in lower categories and as sports director of Real Murcia in the 90s. His career is an example of professionalism and passion for football. From Atlético de Madrid, we send our deepest condolences to family and friends of this rojiblanca legend.

“Atlético
After a difficult start to the year, with elimination in the Copa del Rey semi-finals against Barcelona and the defeat in the Champions League round of 16 against Real Madrid, Atlético de Madrid is now focusing on LaLiga and the Club World Cup.
Despite the distance that separates the Rojiblancos from the top spots in the domestic competition, the team does not give up and clings to the motto of ‘game by game’, as Simeone, Giménez and Galán point out.
The main objective is to score as many points as possible in the remaining nine LaLiga games, starting with the difficult visit to Sevilla. The team is aware that the task will not be easy, but it trusts its possibilities and the unconditional support of the fans.
The fight to secure a place in the next Spanish Super Cup is another incentive, although qualifying for the Champions League seems a more achievable goal, especially with the expansion of places for next season.
Beyond LaLiga, Atlético has its sights set on the Club World Cup, a competition that presents itself as a great opportunity to close the season with a title. The debut will be against PSG, in a group that also includes Seattle Sounders and Botafogo. Simeone’s team will seek to demonstrate its competitive spirit and fight until the end in each competition.

“Atlético, under scrutiny at the Sánchez-Pizjuán”
Atlético de Madrid is preparing for a crucial duel against Sevilla at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán. The team arrives at this match with morale bruised after being eliminated from the Copa del Rey, but with the firm intention of recovering and demonstrating their strength.
Sevilla, on the other hand, also faces the match after a negative streak, including a defeat in the Seville derby. Xavi García Pimienta, Sevilla’s coach, only has the confirmed absence of Tanguy Nianzou.
However, he recovers important players such as Djibril Sow and Lucien Agoumé, who missed the derby due to suspension, thus strengthening the Sevillian midfield. Agoumé’s presence in Thursday’s training session, after being absent on Wednesday for personal reasons, is good news for the home team.
Atlético, led by Diego Simeone, will seek to exploit Sevilla’s possible weaknesses to impose their game and add three vital points in their fight for the season’s objectives.
Despite the emotional blow suffered, the Rojiblanco team is confident in their ability to react and in the talent of their players to overcome this challenge. The match is presented as an opportunity to demonstrate the grit and fighting spirit that characterize Atlético de Madrid.

“La Liga Is Not Over! Julián Álvarez’s Message”
After a tough setback in the Copa del Rey against Barcelona, Atlético de Madrid doesn’t give up. Despite the adverse result in the second leg of the semi-finals, the team’s morale remains intact, as demonstrated by Julián Álvarez’s message to the Colchoneros fans through his social networks.
The Argentinian striker, affectionately known as the ‘Spider’, has injected optimism by assuring that they will continue to fight for LaLiga until the end. The draw against Espanyol in the last league match complicated Atlético’s aspirations, especially with the victories of Real Madrid and Barcelona.
However, the competitive spirit of the Rojiblancos team remains intact. Álvarez’s message is a declaration of intent: Atlético will do their best in every remaining match to try to conquer the championship. Julián Álvarez’s contribution to the team is undeniable.
With eleven goals in La Liga, five of them in the last seven matches, the striker is experiencing his best scoring season since arriving in Europe, reaching a total of 23 goals. His commitment and performance are an example for his teammates and a source of hope for the fans. Atlético de Madrid itself has shared Álvarez’s message on its social networks, showing the club’s support and unity at this crucial moment of the season.

The 2024-2025 season has been a rollercoaster for our Atleti. After a sensational start with 15 consecutive victories, including important wins against key rivals, the team has faced challenges in LaLiga, the Champions League, and the Copa del Rey.
Despite difficult moments and painful eliminations, the Colchonero spirit remains intact. In LaLiga, the team remains in the fight for Champions League spots, consolidating their third position and with a considerable advantage over their pursuers.
Although the gap with the leaders is noticeable, Atleti has demonstrated their ability to compete against the best, seeking to secure their qualification for the next edition of the Champions League. In the Copa del Rey, the elimination was a tough blow, but the team fought to the end.
In the Champions League, the European competition, Atleti demonstrated their grit and competitiveness, although they could not advance further. The team continues to show great strength at home, a fortress where they have become strong throughout the season.
With eyes set on the future, the team is preparing to face the final stretch of the season with maximum ambition. As our coach, Diego Simeone, says, the goal is clear: “continue match by match, trying to continue improving to get closer and closer to the teams that are above us and accept the place we have.” Aúpa Atleti!

“Soto Grado
Atlético de Madrid prepares for the match against Sevilla with Soto Grado as the main referee, a designation that evokes bittersweet memories in the Colchonero fans.
Although the overall balance with Soto Grado at the helm is favorable, with 10 wins, 4 draws and only one defeat in 14 matches, certain controversial episodes remain etched in the red and white memory.
A match against Real Sociedad marked a before and after, with the annulment of a Morata goal and the subsequent validation of a rival goal with controversy. Later, in a Copa del Rey derby, the disparity in the application of yellow cards generated frustration and led Cholo to express his discomfort.
Despite these incidents, Atlético has chained victories under the direction of Soto Grado, with the exception of the last league derby at the Bernabéu, where a penalty awarded to Lino unleashed controversy. The fans hope that the match against Sevilla will unfold without setbacks and that the referee will make fair decisions to ensure a positive result for the team.

“An Unexpected Fan at the Metropolitano”
The Copa del Rey semi-final between Atlético de Madrid and Barcelona at the Metropolitano was a Rojiblanco party with almost 70,000 souls supporting the team.
Among the crowd, a figure surprised everyone: Jiri Letacek, Getafe’s substitute goalkeeper, was spotted wearing an Atleti scarf! Letacek, who had already stepped on the Metropolitano’s pitch this season as Getafe’s goalkeeper, both in La Liga and Copa, decided to experience the passion from the stands.
First as a substitute in La Liga and then as a starter in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals. The image of the Azulón goalkeeper with the Rojiblanca scarf has caused a stir, especially among Getafe fans.
Perhaps Letacek, after seeing Atleti from the bench and between the posts, wanted to experience the unique atmosphere of the Metropolitano from a fan’s perspective. What no one expected is that he did it showing his support to the Colchoneros team. Undoubtedly, a curious anecdote that demonstrates the magic of Atleti and its ability to conquer hearts, even among rivals.

“De Paul and Raphinha
The second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final between Atlético de Madrid and Barcelona at the Metropolitano was an intense match, echoing the recent Argentina-Brazil clash. A match marked by pre-match tension following statements by Raphinha, which were not well received on the Argentine side.
After Argentina’s victory, some players, including De Paul, were seen celebrating the triumph. However, after Atlético de Madrid’s elimination at the hands of Barcelona, an image emerged that stands out above the rivalry.
Raphinha waited for De Paul in the tunnel to console him and give him a hug. During the match, there were also moments of tension between the two, with De Paul reproaching Raphinha for some attitudes. This gesture by the Brazilian player is an example of sportsmanship and fair play.
Raphinha also greeted coach Diego Pablo Simeone and physical trainer Luis Piñedo, showing respect for the Rojiblanco team. A hug that symbolizes that, beyond the rivalry on the field, respect and humanity prevail among the players.

“Simeone
Following the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final at the Metropolitano between Atlético de Madrid and FC Barcelona, the post-match interview with Simeone on TVE was not entirely smooth.
After the defeat, the Rojiblancos coach showed a tense attitude towards the journalist’s questions, which seemed more like a test than a conversation. First, he was asked about Giménez’s statements, which generated a curt response from El Cholo: ‘Ask Jose’.
The question was not well received, as it implied possible internal criticism from a player. When asked what the team was missing in the second half, the response was concise: ‘Being concrete’.
Asked about the last month, where the team fell in the Champions League, Copa del Rey and moved away from the top of LaLiga, Simeone defended: ‘We are having a good season’. Finally, when asked about the remaining goals, he resorted to his already classic philosophy: ‘Match by match’. Despite the initial tension, Simeone was more talkative in the subsequent press conference.

“Atleti Tried Hard Against Barça in the Cup”
Atlético de Madrid said goodbye to the Copa del Rey in the semi-finals against a Barcelona that demonstrated its power. After the match, Cholo Simeone acknowledged the rival’s superiority, especially in the first half, although he highlighted his team’s improvement and competitiveness in the second half, where they eagerly sought a draw.
A significant fact of the match was the lack of shots on goal from Atleti during the 90 minutes. Despite generating five scoring opportunities, none tested the opposing goalkeeper. A goal by Sorloth was disallowed for offside, depriving the team of the chance to equalize.
This statistic contrasts with Barcelona’s performance, who did manage to test the Atleti goalkeeper on several occasions. The team fought with grit and dedication, but it was not enough to overcome the Catalan team.
Despite the elimination, the Rojiblancos fans once again demonstrated their unconditional support, providing a spectacular atmosphere in the Metropolitano. It’s time to get up and continue working to face the next challenges with the same passion and determination that characterizes Atlético de Madrid.
03.04.2025 11:57 / Mundo Deportivo
“Saúl
Saúl Ñíguez will face his Rojiblanco past in a special match, following his loan to Sevilla. After being a key player for ‘Cholo’ Simeone, the club opened the door for him, and Saúl ended up in Nervión.
Although his signing generated high expectations, his performance has not lived up to them, even losing his starting position at key moments, despite injuries in Sevilla’s midfield. Furthermore, a distance has emerged with the coach and the dressing room.
A sector of the Sevilla fans did not take well a message of support to his former team after their elimination in the Champions League. The tension between fans also does not help to ease the situation.
Despite the six assists he has provided, much more was expected from Saúl as a leader and role model on the field. This match against Atlético presents an opportunity to demonstrate his worth and convince Simeone that he still has much to offer. However, the tense atmosphere and doubts about his immediate future complicate his situation. The match at the Pizjuán will be a crucial test for the Rojiblanco academy graduate.
04.04.2025 13:56 / Mundo Deportivo
“Griezmann
Atlético’s recent elimination from the Copa del Rey has put the spotlight on Antoine Griezmann, whose current performance is far from the decisive player who dazzled the world. Gone are the days when he led the team, even generating comparisons with the greats.
Against Barcelona, his performance was discreet, showing a lack of spark that even slowed down some offensive transitions. His numbers reflect this drought: one goal and one assist in the last 12 matches, contrasting with the 15 goals and five assists he accumulated in the previous 32 matches.
This slump has hampered his ambition to become the club’s all-time top scorer, stagnating at 197 goals. Despite this slump, Simeone maintains his confidence in the Frenchman, granting him an uninterrupted starting position.
Perhaps a better dosage of minutes could be the key to recovering his best version, that magic that marveled in the first months of the season. The next match against Sevilla at the Sánchez Pizjuán, stadium where he already shone with a key double in the rojiblanca comeback, could be the perfect opportunity to rediscover his best football and guide Atlético to victory.

Atlético de Madrid has returned to work at Cerro del Espino after their elimination in the Copa del Rey semi-finals. With their minds set on Sevilla, the team trained with moderate intensity. The main news was the reincorporation of Koke and Lemar, who trained with complete normality, adding good news for Simeone.
However, De Paul withdrew as a precaution shortly after the start of the session, although the club conveyed calm about his physical condition. The rest of the team carried out a regeneration session, with the starters from the last match carrying out lighter work.
Training began in the gym and continued with possession exercises and specific tasks, while the goalkeepers worked with Pablo Vercellone. In addition, the team debuted the new ‘Orbita Fuego’ ball from Puma, which will be the protagonist in LaLiga during the final stretch of the championship. A detail that adds motivation to the squad ahead of the upcoming challenges.

“Atlético
At a time when the Rojiblancos feel disappointed by the elimination in the Champions League and Copa del Rey, and with the La Liga title moving away, it is important to highlight Atlético de Madrid’s performance against their two great rivals: Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Simeone’s team has proven to be a tough nut to crack for both, competing at a very high level. Against Real Madrid, despite the elimination in the Champions League, the balance is surprisingly even.
The Rojiblancos won at the Metropolitano in the second leg of the Champions League Round of 16 and drew in the two league matches. The overall goal difference in these matches is four for and four against, reflecting maximum equality.
Against Barcelona, the balance leans slightly in favor of the Catalans, with one Atleti win in Montjuic in La Liga, a draw in the same stadium, and two losses at the Metropolitano. The goal difference in these matches is eight goals for and ten against.
Despite not having surpassed Barcelona and Real Madrid this season, these data demonstrate that Atlético is closing the gap with the two giants of Spanish football. Few teams can boast of having competed so closely with both, which indicates that the future is promising for the Colchoneros.

“Report Reveals
A forensic report commissioned by the International Union of Atlético de Madrid Supporters Clubs has sparked controversy after analyzing the UEFA video that explained the annulment of Julián Álvarez’s goal during the penalty shootout in the Champions League match.
The report, which has been received with indignation by the Rojiblancos fans, suggests that the video presented by UEFA may have been tampered with, raising doubts about the transparency of the organization.
Among the main anomalies detected are inconsistencies in the file metadata, an atypical internal structure for camera recordings, unusual fluctuations in the entropy analysis, and alterations in the image sequence, including the unnatural repetition of frames.
In addition, a possible visual cloning of the player Julián Álvarez has been detected in a key frame, a detail that does not appear in the live broadcast. The report also highlights the total absence of audio in the UEFA video, an anomaly that reinforces the suspicion of manipulation.
In light of these revelations, the International Union of Atlético de Madrid Supporters Clubs demands a public explanation from UEFA and the delivery of the original video and audio.
They warn that, if a satisfactory response is not obtained, they will consider that the competition has been tampered with and do not rule out taking legal action to defend the interests of the club and its fans. Atlético de Madrid and its supporters await prompt clarification from UEFA to dispel doubts and restore confidence in the integrity of the competition.

Great victory for Atlético de Madrid B! The Rojiblancos’ reserve team displayed offensive and forceful football to thrash Intercity in a vibrant match. From the start, Torres’ team showed their ambition, insistently seeking the opponent’s goal.
The reward came early with a great goal from Julio Díaz, an unstoppable left-footed shot from outside the area that unleashed joy in the stands. Despite the momentary draw, the team was not discouraged and continued to seek the goal insistently.
Rayane and Martín Pascual generated constant danger, demonstrating the quality and drive of the Rojiblanca youth academy. In the second half, Atleti B came out even more plugged in, determined to secure the victory.
Pablo Pérez, with a great finish after an excellent combination with Julio Díaz, returned the advantage to the team. The Rojiblanco dominance translated into two more goals, scored by Jano Monserrate with another great goal, this time with a left-footed shot into the squad, and Omar Janneh, who headed a measured cross from Diego Bri into the net, sealing a memorable thrashing.
With this victory, Atlético de Madrid B regains Play-off positions, demonstrating their solidity and ambition in the fight for promotion. Now, the focus is on next Saturday’s derby against Real Madrid Castilla, a match that promises strong emotions and in which the Rojiblancos will seek to continue adding important points.

José Bordalás, Getafe’s coach, has publicly defended his substitute goalkeeper, Jiri Letacek, after the controversy caused by a photograph in which he was seen with an Atlético de Madrid scarf during the Copa del Rey match between Atlético and Barcelona.
The image, captured by Movistar’s cameras, generated some stir among Getafe fans, especially after the goalkeeper’s performance at the Metropolitano, where he conceded five goals in the quarter-final match.
Bordalás has downplayed the matter, calling it ‘anecdotal’ and highlighting the Czech goalkeeper’s ’enormous’ commitment to Getafe. The Azulón coach assured that Letacek is an integral professional and that his involvement with the team and his teammates is total.
Bordalás suggested that the scarf could have been a gift from a fan or part of a joke, but insisted that it does not reflect the reality of Letacek’s commitment to the club. ‘We are very happy with him,’ the coach concluded, thus ending the controversy and reaffirming confidence in one of his players.

El Cerro del Espino has become a real fortress for Atleti B, where they have achieved important victories against tough opponents such as Real Murcia, Villarreal B, Hércules, and Alcorcón. A streak that was only interrupted by a draw against Betis Deportivo at the Metropolitano.
The solidity at home will be key to overcoming an Intercity that, despite its position in the table, has shown remarkable improvement in recent rounds. With the top of the standings very tight, every point is essential.
Atleti B’s goal is to beat Intercity to tie points with Mérida, which currently occupies the last ‘Play-off’ spot, and arrive at next week’s derby against Real Madrid Castilla with an advantage in the standings. Javi Boñar will be one of the key players to achieve victory.
Despite being at the bottom, Intercity has experienced a positive change with the arrival of José Lledó on the bench, adding three wins and two draws in the last seven games. This resurgence further complicates the match, but Atleti B is confident in their strength at home and the support of their fans to take the victory.

Atlético de Madrid is preparing for a key match where a rival facing difficulties is expected. Sevilla FC, led by their coach, arrives needing a victory. However, the situation is not ideal for the Andalusian team.

His presence in the match against Atlético is in doubt, depending on his evolution in the coming days. It is also unknown if Suso will be available, while Nianzou is a confirmed absence.
The good news for Sevilla is the recovery of Agoumé and Sow, who missed the derby due to suspension and are now ready to rejoin the team. Atlético will seek to take advantage of these possible absences in the rival team to consolidate their position and offer joy to their fans.

“Saúl
This Sunday, Atlético de Madrid fans will be watching closely the clash between Atlético de Madrid and Sevilla, a match marked by Saúl Ñíguez’s reunion with the team of his origins. The talented midfielder, on loan at the Sevillian club, will once again face old acquaintances such as Koke, Griezmann, Oblak, and Giménez.
He already experienced this sensation at the Metropolitano, where he entered the field with an adverse score, contributing to an exciting 4-3 victory. Although Saúl has not managed to establish himself as an undisputed starter in Sevilla, his hierarchy earned him the title of one of the captains upon arrival.
However, his performance, with 19 games played (14 as a starter), one goal, and six assists, has not completely convinced everyone. His future seems defined, as his loan will be automatically renewed until 2026, the year his contract with Atlético ends.
The Sevilla fans could show their dissatisfaction, after the message of encouragement to Atlético, after their elimination in Champions, if Saúl were to leave. Undoubtedly, a special match for Saúl, who will seek to leave his mark and demonstrate his worth against the team that saw him grow.

“Atlético
Atlético de Madrid is at a crucial point in the season, with some sectors questioning Diego Pablo Simeone’s continuity. However, it is important to remember the transformation that ‘Cholo’ has brought to the club.
What coach could match his impact, considering the names being considered, from established figures to young promises? History reminds us that internationally renowned coaches have not always been successful at the Metropolitano.
It is true that the recent schedule has been demanding, with multiple clashes against Barcelona and Real Madrid. Few teams in Europe would withstand such a test. While the current squad has no representatives among the Ballon d’Or nominees, this does not define their potential.
The debate about tactical approaches is constant, but finding the formula to nullify rivals while being offensive is a complex challenge. Before Simeone, the club had gone 18 years without winning LaLiga. Under his leadership, two league titles have been conquered.
The current demand to surpass Real Madrid and Barcelona contrasts with the initial goal of competing and getting closer to them. Now, the goal should be to secure a place in the top three of LaLiga, aspiring to victory if circumstances allow.
At this moment, unity is key. The four pillars of the club must be strengthened to overcome the challenges. The team needs to turn the page as soon as possible and look ahead. Unconditional support for Simeone and the squad is essential to build an even brighter future.

“Heated Derby
The derby between Atlético de Madrid and Real Madrid continues to generate controversy. After the match, the Unión de Peñas del Atlético de Madrid has expressed its dissatisfaction with the referee’s performance, even suggesting the possibility of requesting a replay of the match due to a controversial play.
However, the rules of UEFA and FIFA are clear on this. UEFA’s Disciplinary Code, in its article 9, states that decisions made by the referee on the field are final and cannot be reviewed by UEFA’s disciplinary bodies. Action could only be taken in cases of mistaken identity.
Furthermore, the VAR protocol, included in the IFAB’s Laws of the Game, prevents the invalidation of a match due to errors in the operation of the technology or erroneous decisions in which VAR has participated, since it is part of the refereeing body.
Despite the understandable discontent of the fans, it seems unlikely that the courts can force UEFA to replay a match in which the VAR review protocol was applied. The team, with its characteristic grit, must now focus on the next challenges and continue to demonstrate its worth in every match. Aúpa Atleti!

“Atleti
Atlético de Madrid faces a crucial match against Sevilla with two significant last-minute absences. Rodrigo de Paul and Samuel Lino will miss the match due to low-grade muscle injuries, confirmed by the club after medical tests.
De Paul suffers an injury to his right thigh, while Lino has discomfort in his left leg. Both players have already missed Saturday’s training session and will undergo physiotherapy and rehabilitation treatment, pending their return to the field.
These absences add to the already known suspensions of Ángel Correa, who is serving his fourth suspension match, and José María Giménez, suspended for accumulation of yellow cards. Undoubtedly, a major setback for Simeone, who will have to readjust his scheme for this complicated away game.
Despite these difficulties, the fans are confident in the team’s ability to overcome obstacles and bring back a positive result from the Sánchez Pizjuán. The grit and fighting spirit characteristic of Atleti will be fundamental to overcome these casualties and demonstrate, once again, what this team is made of.

“Griezmann Seeks to Reclaim His Best Form”
Atlético de Madrid is heading towards the end of the season with its sights set on securing its place in European competitions. However, the situation of Antoine Griezmann, one of the team’s cornerstones, is generating some uncertainty.
The talented French forward is not going through his best moment, with a goal drought that has raised alarms at the Metropolitano. Despite this, ‘Cholo’ Simeone has full confidence in his recovery and hopes that Griezmann will regain his best level in the upcoming matches.
Precisely, the match against Sevilla presents an ideal opportunity for the Frenchman to demonstrate his worth. Sevilla is a rival that has historically been good for him, having scored nine goals in 16 LaLiga matches.
His connection with the Colchoneros fanbase is undeniable, and the support of the Metropolitano will be crucial to propel him again. On the other hand, negotiations for his renewal have become complicated.
Although Griezmann expressed his desire to continue at the club, economic differences and the contract duration have stalled the agreement. Given this panorama, the interest of Los Angeles FC of MLS, where former teammates play, adds pressure to the situation. The Rojiblancos fanbase hopes that Griezmann and the club will reach an understanding to continue enjoying his magic at the Metropolitano.

Atlético de Madrid, under the leadership of Diego Pablo Simeone, focuses its sights on LaLiga after overcoming recent stumbles in other competitions. El Cholo, with his characteristic focus on the present, seeks to secure qualification for the next edition of the Champions League, the club’s priority objective.
Although the fight for the league title seems complicated, the team does not give up fighting for the top positions and dreams of the Club World Cup at the end of the season. The match against Sevilla represented a crucial opportunity to regain sensations and demonstrate the best version of the team.
Simeone anticipated a demanding match against a needy rival, aware of the difficulty of playing in their stadium. Atlético sought to break their recent negative streak as a visitor in LaLiga, where they have shown irregularity in their last outings.
Despite important absences in the squad, the team trusts in the depth of its bench to overcome adversities. Simeone has several options to recompose the midfield and defense, looking for the ideal formula to face the Sevillian challenge. The primary objective is to add the three points and reaffirm the path towards Champions League qualification, thus consolidating Atlético’s position among the greats of Spain.

“Griezmann
Diego Simeone, coach of Atlético de Madrid, has reaffirmed his absolute confidence in Antoine Griezmann, a key figure in the Rojiblancos’ scheme. Despite scoring only one goal in the last twelve matches, the Argentine coach has no doubts about the potential and importance of the French striker for the team.
Simeone highlighted the relevance of Griezmann, whose contract extends until June 2026, emphasizing that he remains a fundamental piece in his project. Atlético’s all-time top scorer, with 197 goals, has reached this figure under Simeone’s direction, participating in 433 matches, 384 of them as a starter, and providing 85 assists.
Looking ahead, Simeone is confident that Griezmann will continue to be a decisive player in achieving the team’s objectives this season. The Rojiblanco fans, for their part, hope that the talent and connection between Griezmann and Simeone will continue to bear fruit at the Metropolitano.

“Atlético
Atlético de Madrid faces a crucial challenge: improving their performance away from the Metropolitano. Recent stumbles as visitors have negatively impacted their fight for LaLiga, becoming a weak point to correct.
Of the last five away games, only a resounding victory in Valencia (0-3) was achieved, adding draws against Espanyol (1-1) and Real Madrid (1-1), but suffering defeats against Leganés (1-0) and Getafe (2-1). These results have detracted valuable points in the aspiration for the title.
In total, the team has won only two of their last eight away matches in all competitions, showing a worrying fragility. With four defeats in the last six matches and only three wins in the most recent eleven, consistency is an urgent need.
An additional piece of data that adds pressure is the recent history against Sevilla as a visitor: only one victory in the last six league matches (with two draws and three defeats). Overcoming this adversity is presented as a key factor to ensure the team’s objectives and avoid complications in the standings. Atlético must rediscover solidity away from home to consolidate their sports project.

In an interview, Leiva shared his optimistic view on Atlético’s season, highlighting the talent of the squad and valuable additions such as Julián Álvarez and Giuliano Simeone.
However, he also expressed concern about the impact of VAR on current football, suggesting that it is negatively affecting the fairness of the game. Leiva believes that Atlético’s elimination from the Champions League was unfair.
The singer demonstrated his commitment to the club by stating that he would sacrifice part of his professional success to see Atlético lift the Champions League. Leiva believes that the team deserves to win this title and wants it with all his heart. His passion and faith in Atlético de Madrid remain intact, demonstrating that the Colchonero feeling transcends beyond the field of play.

Atlético de Madrid faces a tough challenge in their visit to the Sánchez Pizjuán to face Sevilla. The team trained this Saturday with their sights set on this important match, crucial to strengthen their position in the upper zone of the standings.
However, not all is good news, as Simeone will have to deal with significant absences. Rodrigo De Paul, with discomfort since the match against FC Barcelona, suffers a muscle injury in his right thigh, while Samu Lino suffers an injury in his left leg.
Both players will miss the clash and will be in the hands of physiotherapists for their recovery. To these absences are added those of José María Giménez and Ángel Correa, both sanctioned, which further reduces the options of the Argentine coach.
Despite these adversities, the team travels to Seville with the mentality of overcoming the obstacles and adding three vital points in their fight for the season’s objectives.

That’s why I’m joining Save the Children. Because off the field we can also make a difference,’ said Le Normand, making it clear that his commitment to children is a goal for the future. A gesture that makes the Atlético de Madrid fans proud.

“Keys to the Clash between Sevilla and Atlético
This Sunday, Atlético de Madrid faces Sevilla in a crucial match. Data from Opta reveals that, although Sevilla has been a tough opponent, Atleti has the opportunity to demonstrate their superiority.
The Rojiblancos will look to repeat the victory obtained in December 2024 and thus win both league encounters against Sevilla in the same season, something they have already achieved three times under Simeone’s leadership.
Although Atleti hasn’t had their best streak away against Sevilla recently, the victory in October 2022 serves as a reminder of what they are capable of achieving.
Atlético de Madrid’s defense, which has proven to be one of the strongest in Europe this season, will seek to keep a clean sheet, despite having conceded some goals in recent matches.
On the other hand, Antoine Griezmann, a key piece in the Colchoneros’ attack, has Sevilla among his favorite rivals, with nine goals scored.

His return is a breath of fresh air for the team, especially after a difficult period in which the Colchoneros have suffered in La Liga, Champions League and Copa del Rey. During his absence, Koke missed crucial clashes against direct rivals such as Barcelona and Real Madrid, as well as other league commitments.

Atlético de Madrid faces Sevilla in a crucial match, where Diego Pablo Simeone’s strategies are at the center of attention. The coach has not revealed his starting eleven, generating uncertainty among fans. After the Copa effort, the starting position of key players is debated.
Although Antoine Griezmann has shown somewhat irregular performance, he remains a fundamental piece in the offensive scheme. Rodrigo de Paul’s injury opens a range of possibilities in midfield, with Koke Resurrección, Conor Gallagher, and Marcos Llorente as candidates to take his place.
In defense, the team’s characteristic solidity has been compromised in recent weeks. The probable Atlético lineup would include Oblak in goal; a defense with Molina, Le Normand, and Lenglet, plus Galán; a midfield with Giuliano, Llorente, Pablo Barrios, and Gallagher or Koke; and in attack, the duo Griezmann and Julián Alvarez.
For its part, Sevilla recovers Sow and Agoumé, but presents doubts in its starting eleven, with the possible inclusion of Saúl Ñíguez, loaned by Atlético, in the attacking midfield.

This historic goal came in his 123rd professional match, after 7,418 minutes of waiting! His last goal dated back to his youth stage at Inter Milan, just before the pandemic. After his formative period at Sochaux and a brief stint at Inter, Agoume sought opportunities at Spezia, Brest, and Troyes, before landing in Sevilla. Now, finally, the player knows what it’s like to celebrate a goal as a professional, and none other than against Atlético de Madrid! A moment to remember, although not in the way we expected, but it certainly adds an interesting chapter to the history of football and that of Atlético.

“Griezmann
The debate surrounding Antoine Griezmann has resurfaced after the match against Sevilla, but at the Metropolitano they maintain faith in their star. Despite recent numbers not being in his favor, with his last LaLiga goal on February 1st and only one goal in the last 13 matches (Copa del Rey against Barcelona), confidence in the Frenchman remains intact.
Griezmann has started in all recent matches, but his impact on the game has been limited. In the match against Sevilla, he was one of the players with the fewest interventions with the ball and did not stand out in the offensive statistics, except for attempted crosses.
Despite this slump, Cholo Simeone has publicly defended Griezmann, dispelling any doubts about his role in the team. Although there are rumors of possible interest from the United States, Griezmann has a contract until 2026 and his desire is to continue at Atlético.
The club will respect his decision, but acknowledge that his current performance does not facilitate the situation. Despite everything, at the Metropolitano they are confident that Griezmann will recover his best level in the remaining eight LaLiga matches and will once again be decisive for the team.

“Atlético Secures Abdou Kemo, the Senegalese Jewel”
Atlético de Madrid has made a strong bet on the future, securing the continuity of one of its young promises: Abdou Kemo Badji Fall. The talented Senegalese player, recruited in 2024 from Espanyol’s youth academy, has signed his first professional contract with the Rojiblancos.
At just 16 years old, Abdou Kemo has impressed with his performance in Atlético’s youth categories, showing great potential that has led him to take this important step in his career. The midfielder, who currently plays in Juvenil B despite his cadet age, has expressed his delight at the confidence placed in him.
‘I am very happy to sign a professional contract with Atlético de Madrid and because the club has shown confidence in me. Now it’s time to keep working. For me it is a very important step in my career,’ said the player after signing.
Abdou Kemo, a dedicated winger, looks up to Griezmann, who he inspires to improve his game. His talent and the possibility of playing for both Spain and Senegal, thanks to his dual nationality, make him a very valuable player for Atlético’s future. The Colchonero club is confident that Abdou Kemo will follow in the footsteps of other Senegalese players who have triumphed in Europe. A great step for this young talent, who dreams of shining at the Metropolitano.

“Barrios emulates Koke
Atlético de Madrid secured an important 1-2 victory against Sevilla at the Sánchez Pizjuán, with a decisive goal from Pablo Barrios in added time. The homegrown player, with a powerful shot from the edge of the box, gave the three points to the Rojiblancos.
This goal, Barrios’ first in LaLiga, adds to those he had already scored in Copa del Rey and Champions League. The figure of Barrios, called to be the natural replacement for Koke in midfield, is becoming increasingly relevant.
The young 21-year-old player has gained prominence, while Koke, 33, has seen his playing time reduced this season. Curiously, both Koke and Barrios celebrated their first LaLiga goal with Atlético against the same opponent: Sevilla.
Koke’s goal came more than 14 years ago, in February 2011, at the Vicente Calderón. After the match against Sevilla, Koke praised Barrios: ‘I told him it was about time he scored a goal. No, I’m kidding. He’s having an extraordinary season.
Very happy for him and especially for the team,’ declared the captain, who returned to the team after recovering from an injury. The connection between both players and the promising future of Barrios excite the Atlético de Madrid fans.

“Atlético
Atleti never stops fighting! The recent triumph against Sevilla at the Sánchez Pizjuán, sealed with a goal by Pablo Barrios in the 93rd minute, is yet another example of the team’s indomitable spirit.
This goal, added to Julián Alvarez’s, gave Atlético the victory and reaffirms a trend that is already a registered trademark of the club: that of not giving up until the last second.
Let’s remember that already in the first round, Sevilla suffered Atleti’s claw at the Metropolitano, with a goal by Griezmann that culminated an epic comeback. The last time the Colchoneros had scored in stoppage time was with a goal from Sorloth.
Barrios joins a list of Rojiblancos players who have celebrated decisive goals in added time, a list that includes Koke, Correa, Julián Alvarez, Giménez, Sorloth, De Paul and Griezmann. Sorloth and Julián Alvarez are the ones who have seen the goal most often in stoppage time (four each).
In total, Atlético de Madrid has achieved the impressive figure of 16 goals in stoppage time, a statistic that places it as the absolute leader in the major European leagues. This persistence and unwavering faith allow the team to continue dreaming of fighting for LaLiga. This Atleti has a huge heart!

“Scalvini
Atlético de Madrid is looking to strengthen their defense for the upcoming summer market, and Giorgio Scalvini, Atalanta’s central defender, emerges as an attractive option.
The young Italian talent, born in 2003, has stood out in Serie A for his solidity, tactical intelligence, and ability to build play from the back, characteristics that have put him on the radar of major European clubs.
Scalvini, despite his young age, has become an undisputed starter in the Italian team, demonstrating a maturity unusual for his age. His profile perfectly matches Atlético’s signing policy, which seeks young talents with ambition and growth potential.
However, securing his services will not be an easy task. Atalanta, aware of the value of their jewel, has set a release price of no less than 40 million euros, seeking to retain a player considered key to the club’s present and future.
Scalvini is under contract until 2028. Atlético must move intelligently if they want to add this promising defender to their ranks and further consolidate their defense.

“Booked
Atlético de Madrid continues to fight with grit in every match, and the last encounter was no exception. However, the duel left two new players on the verge of suspension: Giuliano Simeone and Alexander Sorloth were cautioned and now join Reinildo Mandava, Koke Resurrección, and Julian Álvarez on the list of players one booking away from suspension.
Giuliano received his yellow card for a contested tackle in the 51st minute, while Sorloth was booked in the 90th minute for an argument. Both now have four yellow cards. Álvarez, the team’s top scorer, has been on the verge of suspension for nine rounds, demonstrating commitment and discipline.
Koke, our captain, has remained calm for seven games with the same threat, and Reinildo has been in this situation for two rounds. These situations demonstrate the team’s composure and concentration. Good news for the fans: Ángel Correa is about to return after serving his suspension. The Argentine, a key player in the team’s scheme, will be available again after one more match. Without a doubt, his return will be an important boost for Atlético de Madrid.

“Simeone
Diego Pablo Simeone, ‘El Cholo’, continues to build his legend at Atlético de Madrid. After reaching 900 games as a ‘rojiblanco’ in the recent match against Sevilla, the Argentinian is consolidated as an absolute icon of the club.
His career, marked by records and titles, places him in a privileged place in the history of ‘Colchoneros’, alongside another legendary figure like Luis Aragonés.
Although Aragonés still surpasses Simeone in the total number of games (adding player and coach), ‘El Cholo’ holds the record for most games managed, most wins and most titles as a coach.
With eight titles under his command, including two La Liga titles (2013-14 and 2020-21), one Copa del Rey (2012-13), two Europa League titles and two European Super Cups, Simeone has surpassed Aragonés in terms of honours. His impact goes beyond trophies.
Simeone has achieved something that seemed unthinkable: conquering La Liga twice in a period dominated by Real Madrid and Barcelona. First, with a historic points record in the 2013-14 season, and then, reaffirming his hegemony in 2020-21.
‘El Cholo’ has transformed Atlético, restoring the claw, fighting spirit and ambition that characterize it. His legacy is indelible and his name is written in gold letters in the history of the club. A leader who has managed to connect with the fans and take the team to the top.

“Saúl
Atlético de Madrid’s return to the Sánchez Pizjuán is always special, especially when an idol like Saúl Ñíguez wears the Sevilla shirt. However, his present at the Andalusian club is not easy, and some gestures have not been well received by Sevilla fans.
Despite being Sevilla’s captain, Saúl’s performance has not met expectations, and certain actions have generated controversy. After Atlético’s elimination from the Champions League, a message of support on social media sparked criticism among Sevilla supporters.
More recently, after Sevilla’s defeat against Atlético, Saúl signed a red and white shirt at the Sánchez Pizjuán itself, an act that, although understandable, did not go unnoticed in a moment of tension. Deportively, Saúl has lost prominence in the team, relegated to the bench in recent matches.
In addition, there have been rumors about possible disagreements with the coach, like other team captains. His future at Sevilla is uncertain, especially considering that he is on loan from Atlético, with a contract until 2027.
In short, Saúl’s situation at Sevilla is complex, divided between his loyalty to Atlético and his commitment to the Andalusian club. One more chapter in the career of a player who has always proudly defended the red and white colors.

“Barrios Unleashes Euphoria
What a joy Barrios gave us! After 63 matches, the youth player roared again with a spectacular goal against Sevilla, a left-footed strike that was worth gold and allows us to continue fighting in LaLiga.
Cholo Simeone had challenged him to find the goal, and Barrios certainly responded, just when we needed it most! The goal came in the 93rd minute, unleashing madness on the bench and among the fans.
Koke, the captain, was the first to embrace him, recognizing his great season and encouraging him to continue adding more. At 21 years old, Barrios has established himself in the rojiblanco midfield, demonstrating grit and game vision.
This goal not only meant victory but also an important emotional boost, especially after recent draws and defeats. The stumbles of Barcelona and Real Madrid open a small window of hope, and with Barrios plugged in, anything is possible! Cholo trusts him, the fans adore him, and now, with this great goal, Barrios shows that he is ready to continue making history with Atleti. Let’s keep fighting, team!

“Alavés-Atleti
Attention, Rojiblancos fans! We have a date for Alavés-Atleti at Mendizorroza, corresponding to matchday 34 of LaLiga. The match is scheduled, for now, for Saturday, May 3rd at 2:00 PM, with transmission via DAZN. Get your predictions and scarf ready!.
However, there’s an important detail that could modify our plans: LaLiga has conditioned the match schedule to the possible participation of Real Madrid and Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals.
If either of these teams advances and has to play during the week, Alavés-Atleti could change days. Although Atlético doesn’t have European commitments, the organization has opted for this measure for the three major teams, which introduces some uncertainty.
So, although the excitement to see Atleti in action remains intact, we need to be attentive to possible calendar modifications. We will keep the fans informed so that no one misses this great match! Keep supporting the team, no matter what!
