Atlético de Madrid 's 2024/25 season is about to get underway. Diego Pablo Simeone 's men will face, starting next Monday against Villarreal , one of the most exciting seasons in recent years. The great work of the red-and-white board in managing the new squad has raised a lot of euphoria among the fans.
The arrival of Robin Le Normand , Alexander Sorloth and Julián Alvarez , while Conor Gallagher is waiting for them, gives fans reason to believe that they can win a title this season. Something that has not happened since the 20/21 season, when Atlético de Madrid were crowned league champions in Valladolid on the last day. It has been a long time since then, so the Atlético fans dream of seeing their captain, Koke Resurrección , lift another trophy.
In fact, the Atlético de Madrid player is facing one of the most important seasons of his career. After renewing the contract that links him to the team of his heart for another season, Koke will fight to continue making history. Something he already did recently when he became the player who has played the most games defending the red and white colours in the history of the club (637 games currently).
Beating Adelardo, his main objective
After being the player with the most games played for Atlético de Madrid , and the one with the most assists in the history of the club, Koke will fight for another historic milestone. And with the 10 titles he currently has under his belt, he is tied with Adelardo Rodríguez , who achieved the same number during the 70s and 80s. Thus, if he is crowned champion of LaLiga , the Champions League , the Copa del Rey or the ClubWorld Cup , Koke could become the most successful player.
A final touch to a spectacular career for the young lad from Vallecas who dreamed of playing for Atlético de Madrid since he was a child. A privilege that very few have been able to enjoy, and which will leave a lofty legacy that will not be surpassed for many years. And no wonder, as Koke has been present in the most victorious era since the club was founded in 1903 .
He was present in both the EuropeanSuper Cup against InterMilan and the Europa League won that same year against Athletic Bilbao . A year later, he provided the ball that Joao Miranda headed in to give AtléticoMadrid their tenth Copa del Rey at the Santiago Bernabéu . He then defeated Chelsea in the EuropeanSuper Cup and lifted the league trophy in tears at the Camp Nou .
Despite losing the final in Lisbon to Real Madrid , he did not hesitate to lift the Spanish Super Cup in both the 13/14 and 14/15 seasons. The same would happen in Milan , where a penalty shootout prevented him from touching the sky with Atlético de Madrid . However, he has always kept trying and along the way he won a Europa League , another European Super Cup (defeating his eternal rival and scoring in the final) and a League .
Numbers from a true Atlético legend who will look to continue breaking records during the next season. As things stand, time will tell if Koke and Atlético de Madrid will be able to celebrate another title after confirming one of the best squads in LaLiga .
