Atletico Madrid

Came on in the final minutes of the game. Sought out chances and got one in the box late on from a promising Griezmann pass. Did a great job to chest down and control the long pass from de Paul. In the 74th minute, the World Cup winner found a sprinting Saúl to assist the only goal on the night. In attack, he looked to take on a leading role from midfield and looked to link up with Antoine Griezmann in the final third. Álvaro Morata tried to tee him up late on but the pair had a miscommunication in the Osasuna penalty area. He looked to press up the field, but he was beaten easily on the right multiple times in the first half. The Frenchman attempted a game-high six shots but is lacking the definition to finish off these chances. But he was able to help weather the second half storm, and a super pass under pressure began the sequence that led to Saúl’s goal. Caught out of position a couple times in the first half, giving Osasuna some space to run in behind. The Mozambican came up with multiple crunching tackles and important blocks, his defensive work greatly aiding Atleti’s ability to hold on to the three points at El Sadar. But he made three big saves in the match, including one at the very end on a spinning Jon Moncayola shot, that helped Atlético earn the clean sheet.

Atletico Madrid strengthened their hold on a top four spot after claiming victory in a 1-0 win over Osasuna in La Liga.

It's poor from the Osasuna defenders who keep him onside, and he manages to bring the ball down, and score. OSASUNA 0-1 ATLETICO MADRID: A great run from Saul means De Paul finds him with a ball from over the top. He might need to tweak the front line if his side want a chance at a European showing next year. Atletico Madrid lost their chance of silverware after losing to Real Madrid in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey quarter-final on Thursday, so it’s now full focus on securing a Champions League spot for next season. Moments after a crucial Oblak save from Diego Moreno's long-range effort, Rodrigo de Paul’s ball from over the top found Saul in the 74th minute, who took advantage of the hosts poor off-side trap. However a Jon Moncayola goal looked to be in the cards, with the ball dropping to the substitute in added time.

Atletico Madrid keep themselves in the La Liga top four this weekend after a narrow 1-0 win at Osasuna.

The Chiefs got to Burrow time and again early on, with four sacks before halftime. He completed passes to 10 team-mates, but Kelce was unsurprisingly his primary target, completing seven of nine attempts for a TD. This was the first time Burrow had lost to Mahomes, with the Chiefs clearly irked by talk of the Bengals QB's dominance in this matchup.

Barcelona reportedly consider a summer move for Atletico Madrid attacker Joao Felix, who is on loan at Chelsea until the end of the season.

Thus, if Girona receives a higher offer than Atletico’s, they would be obliged to inform Atletico about this offer, who will then have a right to match this offer and get the player. The report further mentions that Atletico have also obtained a right of first refusal for the player. The player is also a regular feature in Spain’s under-21 international squad and is currently in negotiations with Girona to extend his contract with the club.

Atletico Madrid have already begun negotiations with La Liga club Girona to sign young right-back Arnau Martinez, who is a target for FC Barcelona, ...

It is claimed that Girona’s sporting director Quique Carcel was in Madrid to hold talks with Diego Simeone’s side a couple of weeks ago over the transfer of Martinez. The Blaugrana are in the market for a new right-back and the former academy ace is seen as a viable option, given that his release clause stands at just €20 million. Furthermore, MD also states that Atletico Madrid might have secured a sort of a first refusal for Martinez so that if a different club comes up with a higher bid for him, Girona will provide the Rojiblancos with an opportunity to match that offer.

Girona defender Arnau Martinez has been earning rave reviews for his performances in his debut La Liga campaign this season. And top clubs like Barcelona ...

Forest had already done a deal with Atletico Madrid in the summer, signing Renan Lodi on loan. His and Felipe’s exit could create room for the Rojiblancos to rope in Soyuncu. That is where Nottingham Forest have seemed to entered the picture. However, those negotiations led to a dead end, leaving the Brazilian in search of a new club. Atletico Madrid have Nahuel Molina as their only natural right-back in the squad currently. The 33-year-old has hardly been called upon by the Atletico Madrid manager, with Stefan Savic, Jose Gimenez, Mario Hermoso, and Reinildo Mandava ahead of him.

His release clause is set at €20m, which Girona are asking for, while Atleti want to make up that fee in fixed money and variables. Since making an impact in Segunda with Girona last season, he has come on leaps and bounds. Martinez, 19, has been in fine form this season, standing up to the likes of Vinicius Junior defensively.

Even so, he is still one of the best in the world in his position. But at others, it has been a matter of Simeone bringing in players who have the potential to make an impact, but simply don’t. Speculation continues to circle regarding Oblak’s future, and whether he himself wants to remain at the club. It can be easy to forget quite what a talent Atlético de Madrid have between the sticks. Without an away win in LaLiga since October, it would have been easy for Simeone to avoid any major changes and to stick with his guns for this difficult journey, but he stuck to his beliefs and it came off. Hermoso has become one of the first names on the team sheet. Saúl came on to score the winning goal and Álvaro Morata held the ball up well at times. This is a team that has consistently flirted with European football and who have been difficult to beat for a couple years, particularly at El Sadar. El Cholo also made a statement of faith in José María Giménez by bringing him back into the side as he stared down a FIFA suspension. It’s hard to imagine Reinildo would have made that same pass in the same situation. El Cholo wanted to have a more direct outlet in that position. Saúl’s perfectly-timed run and composed finish helped to exploit Osasuna’s rarely-seen cracks and deliver Atleti’s 10th league win of the year.

Atletico Madrid could move for Marseille defender Jonathan Clauss as part of a busy end to the transfer window.

Atleti are said to have agreed a deal with the Turkish defender for the summer when he is out of contract. If both switches could be pulled off, Los Colchoneros would likely be content with the moves. According to Fabrizio Romano, Brazilian centre-back Felipe is on the verge of an exit, with two interested parties.

Felipe, the 33-year-old Brazilian centre-half, flies in for a medical at the City Ground on Tuesday.

"The club is back in the Premier League so we're at a completely different stage now to then. Forest will look to move players out before the deadline. The 33-year-old will sign an 18-month contract.
