European Football: The transformation of Atletico Madrid
Up to this point in the 2024 summer transfer market, Atletico Madrid has successfully recruited a series of quality stars.
It can be affirmed that coach Diego Simeone and his team did not have a really successful 2023/2024 season. Not only did Atletico Madrid lose in the domestic arena, but they were also eliminated in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League when they lost to Borussia Dortmund with a final score of 4-5.
Therefore, Atletico Madrid's Board of Directors immediately implemented a plan to strengthen the team by bringing in outstanding players. Specifically, Robin Le Normand, Conor Galleghe, Alexander Sorlth and Julian Alvarez have become students of coach Diego Simeone.
To have the services of the above 4 stars, Atletico Madrid had to spend a total of more than 200 million Euros. Throughout its history, the team nicknamed Colchoneros has never spent so much. It is enough to see how big Atletico Madrid's ambition is for next season.
Atletico Madrid's goal in the 2024/2025 season is to reclaim the La Liga title after two consecutive seasons under the ownership of Barcelona and Real Madrid. Even last season, coach Diego Simeone's team had to finish in 4th place, behind the "tiny" team Girona.
Besides La Liga, the Metropolitano team will also be determined to win the UEFA Champions League, where they have reached the final twice and lost both times to Real Madrid. Certainly, coach Diego Simeone and his team will try their best to own the "elephant ear cup".
With the arrival of new "combat-ready" players, coach Diego Simeone's team will be a difficult obstacle for all opponents to overcome. It seems that the championship race in La Liga 2024/2025 will be extremely dramatic and attractive with the "change of skin, change of flesh" of Atletico Madrid./.
