“Estamos en abril y el Atlético ya no opta a ningún título”. Nos vamos a hartar a escuchar esa frase en los próximos días. Ya lo estamos haciendo. La realidad es que de primeras, es mentira. Con LaLiga prácticamente imposible, todavía quedará el Mundial de Clubes. Un torneo que solo podrán ganar 32 equipos en todo el mundo. Tan solo dos escuadras españolas lo juegan, que a nadie se le olvide.
Pero volviendo a la famosa frase y dando la razón a
Y es en ese recorrido, el de luchar por los títulos, donde el Atlético ha vuelto a encontrar su camino. No vamos a negar que 2025 está siendo duro para cualquiera que sueñe en rojiblanco, pero para que la caída fuese tan dolorosa, antes había que subir mucho. Hablan del mes de abril como si de octubre se tratase. Abril, mes y medio largo para que acabe la temporada.
En Liga, obviando un improbable milagro rojiblanco, quedan dos equipos en la disputa del título: Barcelona y Real Madrid. En Copa, más de lo mismo. Solo dos podrán levantar el trofeo el 26 de abril: Barcelona y Real Madrid. Y en Champions, recuerden, esa competición que solo juegan los mejores de Europa y de la que el Atlético no se baja desde hace ya más de una década, sólo podrán disfrutar de las tres rondas finales ocho equipos. Entre ellos, adivinen… Barcelona y Real Madrid.
El palo de verse fuera de la disputa de los títulos se hace gigante por la ilusión que generó el equipo en la pelea de los mismos. Claro, para perder los títulos hay que disputarlos. El Atlético envidó a lo grande esta temporada. Decidió no renunciar a ninguno de los torneos que disputó y se topó con un muro.
El equipo con más Champions en sus vitrinas le apeó en una tanda de penaltis que pasará a la historia. Una muesca más en una interminable lista. Y el equipo con más Copas del Rey le eliminó por un gol de diferencia. Ni más ni menos. El gran reproche que se le puede hacer al Cholo y los suyos es el bajón liguero en 2025. De ser campeón de invierno a verse casi fuera de la pelea. Entre medias, seis duelos ante Barcelona y Real Madrid.
Creerse capaz de competir por los tres títulos acerca al Atlético a ganarlos. Creerse capaz de competir por los tres títulos hace que duela más perderlos. Duele más por la ilusión. No olviden quién les llevó a sentirse capaces de todo. Volverá a hacerlo.

Where is Kylian Mbappe in El Clasico? Real Madrid star doesn’t start vs. FC Barcelona in Copa del Rey final
Getty Images Real Madrid's season and Barcelona's treble hopes hang in the balance as the two sides meet Saturday in the Copa del Rey final. With games coming thick and fast as we reach the run in of the season, both sides will have injury issues to deal with when it comes to setting up for the match. Barcelona will be without Alejandro Balde and Robert Lewandowski, while Real Madrid has picked up new injuries to David Alaba and Eduardo Camavinga. And in a shock the side announced that star striker Kylian Mbappe will not be in the starting lineup. Both managers have needed to balance numerous injuries with getting the best out of their teams all season, but now a trophy is on the line, and the decisions made will loom larger.

Tvrdík velebil Tykače, který po titulu vtipkoval: Obávám se, že ráno ženu na letišti nevyzvednu
Jeden z nejbohatších Čechů koupil slavnou českou sportovní značku před šestnácti měsíci. Až dosud se mohl radovat jen z dílčích úspěchů. Po sobotní demolici Olomouce 5:0 má jistotu, že jeho tým už čtyři kola před koncem ligové nadstavby nikdo v tabulce nepředstihne.Slavia slaví první trofej v Tykačově éře!„Je to titul, který patří novému majiteli Pavlu Tykačkovi,“ připomněl v televizním rozhovoru i šéf Tvrdík. A pak pokračoval: „Přeju ho i zaměstnancům, hráčům a fanouškům, pro které to děláme.“Slavia se na tuzemský trůn vrací po čtyřech letech. V mezidobí jeden titul vyhrála Plzeň, předchozí dvě sezony lize vládla Sparta.„V posledních letech jsme byli druzí, ale fotbal dělají vítězství a tituly,“ vyprávěl dál Tvrdík. Konkurence ale v aktuální sezoně neměla na sešívanou armádu nárok. Slavia většinu ročníku držela luxusní náskok. „Fotbal mě naučil pokoře. Každý může ohrozit každého. Dokud není pomyslný poslední bod, stále se hraje. Možná mi to ještě nedochází, ale užiju si to,“ sliboval […]

Here’s why Donald Trump canceled the Philadelphia Eagles’ White House invitation after their Super Bowl LII victory
It has become a tradition for the champion teams of the most popular sports in the United States to pay a visit to the White House to share with the president of the United States the joy of their hegemony, their achievement and their legacy for their fans, but the ground does not always look well paved when a logical element is added to the equation: principles and political preferencesOn several sadly recent occasions, there have been cases of reluctance on the part of players and coaching staffs who choose not to be part of the contingent that visits the White House, such as the NBA's Golden State Warriors or the Philadelphia Eagles who won Super Bowl LIIThis matter is relevant again in light of the Eagles' upcoming visit to the White House on April 28, and to the same […]
