Atletico Madrid

Manchester United and Atletico Madrid face off in a high-stakes clash as financial powerhouses with contrasting ownership models, revenue streams, and squad valuations collide on the European stage.

NBA star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has joined Atlético Madrid's ownership group, becoming a partner of Israeli billionaire Idan Ofer in the Spanish club.

The media in Catalonia continues to praise the playing style with a false nine and compliments the move the coach made with Raphinha. And also: the historical record.

In December, Diego Simeone will mark 15 full years as head coach of Atletico Madrid. On Wednesday, the team opened the new season with a 2-0 home victory over Malaga. The visitors, who returned to the top flight after eight years, held firm for 70 minutes before ultimately falling to defeat.

After it seemed he wouldn't be a significant player, the coach changed Marc Pubill's position and created a star. This season he arrives to show he is the leading center-back in Atletico's defense. Do you have something to say too? Send us columns to the address: [email protected]

Cristian Romero has passed his medical examinations and signed a five-year contract with Atletico Madrid. The Argentina international defender was acquired from Tottenham for 40 million euros. On Friday evening, he released an official farewell message to the Spurs after five years at the club, where he recently served as captain.

The Argentine striker lost patience after failing to meet with Diego Simeone, and reports in Spain suggest he is now ready to push hard to secure a transfer to the Catalan club.
