Simeone says Atletico chasing redemption against Arsenal

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone says his team are chasing redemption when they face Arsenal in the first leg of their Champions League semi final on Wednesday. Atletico recently suffered a painful defeat in the Copa del Rey final and are under pressure to deliver a major trophy for their fans. The Spanish side will host Arsenal at the Civitas Metropolitano, where Simeone wants his players to draw strength from the atmosphere and show courage and character. He said the club owes its supporters a big European night after tens of thousands of them travelled to Seville for the cup final only to return home disappointed. Simeone admitted that Atletico have experienced many painful near misses in recent years, including Champions League final defeats in 2014 and 2016.

Champions League: Atletico sweat on Lookman ahead of Arsenal showdown

Atletico Madrid are facing an anxious wait over the fitness of Ademola Lookman ahead of their UEFA Champions League semi final first leg against Arsenal after the Super Eagles forward was ruled out of Wednesday’s La Liga clash with Elche. The club’s medical department confirmed that Lookman and strike partner Alexander Sorloth finished Saturday’s Copa del Rey final defeat to Real Sociedad with discomfort and have now been placed on individual training programmes away from the main squad. Atletico said tests carried out by their medical staff advised “maximum caution” to avoid aggravating the players’ conditions. “As a precaution, they will follow an individualised plan in the coming days, working outside the group,” the club statement noted, according to reports in Football Espana. The decision effectively rules both players out of the midweek league fixture, with Atletico prioritising their availability […]

Flick says Atletico 4 0 defeat was a lesson for Barca

Barcelona reaches Copa del Rey last 16 with 2-0 win

Barcelona secured a 2-0 victory over third-tier Guadalajara on Tuesday, reaching the last 16 of the Copa del Rey after late goals from Andreas Christensen and Marcus Rashford. Despite dominating possession—holding over 80%—Barcelona struggled to break down Guadalajara’s compact five-man defense at the Pedro Escartin stadium. The home side remained dangerous on counterattacks, keeping the Catalans on edge throughout the match. Coach Hansi Flick introduced key starters Pau Cubarsi, Alejandro Balde, Jules Kounde, and Pedri in the second half, aiming to find a breakthrough. The tactic paid off in the 77th minute when Frenkie de Jong delivered a precise cross from the right. Christensen rose highest to head the ball, which deflected off Julio Martinez and found the net. Guadalajara nearly responded immediately, with Salifo Caropitche firing a powerful long-range shot, but Marc-Andre ter Stegen—making his first appearance for Barcelona […]
