Madrid Derby: Dates at Stake

The Champions League draw has given us an electrifying Madrid derby, and we’re already warming up! However, the proximity of LaLiga matches presents a small logistical challenge. The tight schedule, with league and Champions League commitments, demands optimal management of rest times for our players.

Atlético faces Athletic, while Real Madrid will face Betis. The time difference between both matches could be crucial, and the club is paying attention to how LaLiga will manage this situation.

The possibility of the derby being played on one date or another (Tuesday or Wednesday) could influence the need to swap league matches, seeking to balance rest times and ensure the best possible preparation for both teams.

However, the final decision rests with LaLiga, which must weigh all factors, including television interests, to reach a fair and equitable solution. Regardless of the final date, we are sure that our Atleti will arrive at the derby in top form, ready to give it their all on the field. The season is at its peak, with important challenges in LaLiga, Champions League and Copa del Rey, including an exciting match against Barça! The key will be to maintain concentration, fighting spirit and the unconditional support of our fans. Come on, Atleti!

Atleti, Going for the Champions League! A Heart-Stopping Journey

Atlético de Madrid is preparing for an exciting challenge in the Champions League. The round of 16 draw has resulted in a high-voltage Madrid derby against Real Madrid, with the return leg at the Metropolitano, a factor that the Rojiblancos hope will be decisive.

Simeone’s team will seek to overcome their eternal rival and continue advancing towards the final. If Atleti manages to beat Real Madrid, their path in the quarter-finals would see them face Arsenal or PSV, playing the second leg again at home.

The Metropolitano would thus become a crucial stronghold in the Rojiblancos’ aspiration to reach the top. In the semi-finals, the rival would emerge from the clash between PSG, Liverpool, Bruges, or Aston Villa.

In this instance, Atlético would play the first leg at the Metropolitano, seeking an advantage that would allow them to define the tie away from home. The draw paints a picture where Atlético would avoid facing teams such as FC Barcelona, Inter, Bayern Leverkusen or Dortmund until a hypothetical final, which will be played in Munich. The road is demanding, but the Rojiblancos’ hope and determination remain intact. Let’s go for the Champions League, Atleti!

Atlético, the King of Europe Issues a Ruling

Atlético de Madrid faces a crucial challenge in the Champions League. After eliminating Guardiola’s City and witnessing Real Madrid’s victorious path to their European titles, the motivation arises to measure themselves against Cholo’s team, seeking to break that perception of superiority that some Rojiblancos believe they have.

History in the Champions clearly favors Madrid, with resounding victories in key moments. The finals in Lisbon and Milan remain bitter memories for the Colchoneros, while memorable plays by players like Benzema and Chicharito at the Calderón and the Bernabéu, respectively, have frustrated their European aspirations.

Even in the 50s, Real Madrid demonstrated its dominance in a European Cup tiebreaker. The Metropolitano will be the stage where Atlético seeks to reverse the situation, driven by its fans and tactical arguments. However, Madrid arrives in optimal form, with a decisive player at his best. Despite being a formidable rival, Atlético will have to face the history and weight of the white shirt in the European context. Although defeat against the king of Europe may be tough, it will always be an honorable ‘death’.
