I’m not excited to see Atlético face Barcelona any more, to be quite honest. This is the final showdown against FC Barcelona this season, unless a Champions League miracle happens and we meet in the next round, which is nightmare-worthy. To make ourselves feel better, we were finally proved that Barcelona isn’t invincible after all, [...]

What a hell of a match that was even greater from a neutral perspective. I never said that Porto wasn’t a good team, but I didn’t know that they were THIS good. The only conclusions that I could gather from Porto were from ESPN statistics and attempts to read Porto blogs in Portuguese (I don’t [...]
Atlético vs Porto: The Preview, Calling “EuroAtleti” To The Pitch

I’m excited and worried about tomorrow. I can’t lie.
As I type this preview all while chewing on a Fruit Roll Up and cranking my “Now! That’s What I Call Music” collection through my headphones, I’m bothered by the fact that I really don’t know how tomorrow is going to turn out. It’s been a really [...]

If there’s anyone on the Atlético squad that’s secretly not all that excited to play against Porto in the Champions League, it’s Paulo Assunçao. He was loved by the Porto supporters, but after constant pressure from the fans and his ambitions to play in La Liga, he left to join us red-and-whites. Porto fans still [...]

Not really the place for this nonsense* but Sergio Agüero and Giannina Maradona finally welcomed BenjamÃn Agüero Maradona to the world. The baby was born at the MonteprÃncipe Clinic in Madrid, at 18:00 GMT, weighing 3,660 kilos (8.05 lbs). The Atlético Madrid players then travelled to the clinic to wish congratulations to the couple.

If there’s any team in La Liga that I would love removed from football (relegation works fine), it’s Getafe. Getafe is like that tick that you discover on your skin after that trip to Aruba that you were too drunk to remember. You remove it, but it’s already left an itchy pink spot and the [...]

I haven’t seen Atlético play like this since last year, as strange as that sounds.
Effortless goals and a great debut for our manager. Should we get excited yet? No, it’s still the beginning of the Resino era and either better or worse is yet to come.
But for now, thank goodness we can score goals again!

It’s very exciting when a new manager takes over because you’re just dying to see how different the team will play under him. It’s no different with Resino, who is making his little changes to Atlético’s game and seems to know what he’s doing.
Resino acknowledged that he saw that the team was a bit tired [...]

“I don’t know what’s going to happen, but I can tell everyone to be relaxed because there will be effort, dedication and everything that an atlético can give to his team.”
The long-awaited turnaround is in your hands, Don Resino. Welcome home.

The memories were good, but “El Atlético Madrid del Vasco Aguirre” is no more.
Abel Resino, manager of CD Castellon (from the second division of Spain), will be taking over and has a contract until the end of the season. Coincidentally, today is his birthday as well.
Resino was goalkeeper for Atleti from 1986-1995 and is one [...]
