Atletico Madrid Team News

Atletico Madrid finished the previous season in third place, with 11 points less than champions Barcelona, and one less than city rivals, Real Madrid.

Although Atletico is recording good results overall, one gets the impression that the team’s coach, Diego Simeone, is increasingly criticized for his ultra-defensive approach. Of course, when Atletico won the title in the 2020/21 season with such a system, such play could be tolerated. Now, three years later, such a game bothers the fans, especially since the team from Madrid has not won a single trophy since that championship title. In last year’s Champions League, they recorded the weakest result in the previous ten years, finishing as the last-placed team in their group.

Atletico has strengthened their defense by bringing in Turkish international Soyuncu from Leicester and the experienced Azpilicuet from Chelsea, and there is no doubt that these players will mean a lot to Simeone in the fight for a first title after three seasons without a trophy.

Granada CF Team News

Just one year after being relegated to the second Spanish league, Granada returned to the elite clubs. They finished the season in first place, with three points more than the second-placed Las Palmas, and one gets the impression that the second Spanish league has never been this interesting, given that three rounds before the end, as many as six clubs could finish in the first two places leading in La Liga.

Granada recorded great results in the preparatory period, registering four wins and one loss. They defeated San Fernando, El Ejido, Sanluqueno, Ceuta, and Getafe, while their only defeat was in the last test before the start of the championship, against Almeria 1:0.

However, taking into account the fact that the opponents that Granada defeated in friendly matches (except Getafe) are far below the level of the clubs competing in La Liga, as well as that they did not bring any significant reinforcements in the transfer period, there is no doubt that Granada, in the first the season after the return to La Liga, will have a big fight for survival.
