Like every other Primera División team, we are also playing a little-known lower division team in this round of the Copa Del Rey (unless you’re Bilbao and Recre). We have been assigned the task of entertaining Orihuela CF from Segunda División Group 3, the league that hosts a variety of B teams of many big [...]

Villarreal 4 РAtl̩tico Madrid 4
What a roller coaster of a match. When it seemed like the match was ours, they shot four past us. When it seemed like the match was theirs, we scored two goals to level things up and end this game even. A big improvement from the match earlier this year [...]

Aguirre is safe. We’re on a bit of a high from the glorious draw against Liverpool (how can a draw be considered glorious?), so what’s next?
Villarreal vs. Atlético Madrid
That’s what.
Now that Champions League hopes are being rekindled and the quasi celebrations are ending, it’s time to focus on the league. The team has often said [...]

Atl̩tico Madrid 1 РLiverpool 1
We have been saved by Simao. End of story. The stupid linesmen didn’t end up making us lose in the long run, and we’re in a good position to progress to the next round.
It wasn’t so much the fact that we got a point from this fixture, it was more [...]

Tomorrow, Atlético and Liverpool play one of the most anticipated matches of the season. The bad league form and stadium controversies all cancel out with the sweet sound of the Champions League theme.
Liverpool is a club that is well-respected by the Atlético fanbase, obviously because of Fernando Torres. Liverpool gives us a good reason to [...]
We Are Not Championship Material

It’s obvious after our past three losses in La Liga. Even though we did lose to Sevilla, Barcelona, and Real Madrid, it’s no excuse. Two of those matches were played at home, and a true title contender wouldn’t have struggled.
Our match was almost a carbon copy of the Barcelona derby not too long ago. A [...]

Atlético Madrid vs. Real Madrid
Now we’re back in business. Stadium bans, UEFA rulings, appeals, accusations of racism and international matches aside, it’s time to concentrate on what’s really important: el derbi madrileño.
International break either gave us time to prepare mentally, or it made us forget that we are having such a crummy season so far. [...]
Liverpool will play in Madrid

This picture of our coach sums up how I feel.
It’s official. Champions League Matchday 3 will be played at the Vicente Calderon after all.
After Atlético appealed, the UEFA decided to cut us some slack for the time being and to not complicate things at such short notice.
The stadium ban is still postponed and will still [...]
Stadium and Aguirre Banned

Atlético Madrid has been banned from the next two home fixtures in the Champions League for the misconduct and racism of the fans during the Marseille match. (It’s currently the main page headline on SoccerNet, only because it involves Liverpool and England).
Our coach, Mexican hothead Javier Aguirre is banned the next two CL matches against [...]

Ahh, Sunday night. The time everyone starts preparing for school/work the next day and damning the existence of Monday and the beginning of the week. Or if you’re Forlán, you’re playing foosball until the great derby arrives. What’s more annoying is that there isn’t an Atlético match from this weekend to ponder about, as international [...]
