-Go! -Six! Get out!
He's so good! Goal!
There?
There's a chance, Carrasco...
Goal!
Atleti!
Goal!
It hurt a lot.
Come on!
Right now, the mind is key.
Go Atleti!
At a champion's pace.
Let's keep the mind strong.
Come on, boys!
WELCOME TO WANDA METROPOLITANO
Atleti!
Come on!
Champions! Champions!
Come on!
Together! As a family!
Come on!
LaLiga 2020-21 CHAMPIONS
AUGUST 2020
Six, seven!
We knew we were starting a tough season
where there would be obstacles to overcome,
but we didn't know what they would be.
Because it was the first year we were playing in the pandemic
that has affected the whole world.
After a short break,
we went from one season to the other and there wasn't much time to prepare,
to have a good preseason.
But we were also aware
that we had a good starting point from the lockdown.
I remember talking to the physical therapists.
David can tell you...
about a day I was working with them.
And they said, "No, sir, this season
things don't look so good."
I had doubts and thought it was going to be a difficult year.
He stood there and told me,
"I think that we are going to get a couple of reinforcements
that will help a lot.
And I'm sure that this year we are going to be...
We're going to fight till the end."
I said, "David, I have no doubt
this is going to be an extraordinary season.
Why? Because I smell it."
He conveyed the vision and sincerity to me
that he believed the team was going to fight till the end.
The truth is David did not believe me.
Two!
Three! Four!
Five! Six! Out!
The preseason was bumpy because of Covid.
We were going through the first week
in Los Ángeles de San Rafael.
And we had to finish earlier than expected.
That's it! One step further back!
We went back to train individually,
training sometimes at home, and other times,
by ourselves at Cerro.
It was a very strange preseason.
BECAUSE THEY FIGHT AS BROTHERS
SIMEONE POSITIVE FOR CORONAVIRUS
EL CHOLO IN QUARANTINE
And there's a very good combination of what we need
on the part of the other members of the coaching staff.
When I had coronavirus during the preseason,
I think I was lucky,
because I was going to be cleared
for the rest of the season.
Had I had it during the season,
it would have left me out three or four games, or six.
But it was evident it was going to be a complicated season.
It was an unusual summer because there was no time for planning.
And we needed reinforcements in two or three relevant positions.
The most important being the forward.
BARÇA INFORMS SUÁREZ THEY WON'T COUNT ON HIM
When I learned, thanks to the press, that Barcelona wanted to get rid of him,
I immediately contacted his lawyer.
His lawyer contacted him.
We started talking.
Honestly, he was quite sincere.
He said he didn't want to commit to anything
before resolving his situation with Barcelona,
since he'd played there for so long.
And he also wanted to know all his options.
The first time Miguel and Andrea asked me my opinion
about the arrival
of Luis Suárez...
I said to them, "What do you think?"
Luis Suárez's arrival was going to be a quality leap.
He has personality, skill and he scores.
And it was going to positively affect many players
who were going to be around him, because he's used to winning.
I did my due diligence, as I do with all players,
together with Andrea.
And we started messaging all day,
trying to generate enough empathy with him,
so that Atleti was his first choice.
SPORTS DIRECTOR
He wanted to show the Spanish league,
Spanish soccer, and Barcelona, of course,
that he still had a lot to give.
And when we saw the moment was right,
we asked Diego
to start talking to him about what they like to talk about,
which is soccer.
When I heard him, I sensed hunger and excitement.
I sensed a man who needed to rebel
to what was happening to him.
And I think it is one of the signings
I feel most proud of as a person in management.
When you change clubs,
you're excited, and eager to start.
I remember it was a crazy day,
because I had the medical examination, the signing and everything...
-It was very good. -This is fantastic.
Number nine.
-No other option? -No.
Going to train with the teammates during Covid times
doesn't allow for much interaction. You can't talk during training.
It made me feel very nervous.
I was certain he was going to perform the way he did.
"ON NEPTUNE'S THRONE
THERE IS NO ROOM FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T DREAM,
ONE GAME AT A TIME"
In the midst of the pandemic,
at the peak of deaths
and drama,
the club called and invited me
to write a song for the team.
And we realized that this message, "one game at a time,"
had a bigger significance.
So then we thought
it was a really beautiful time
to convey our philosophy and our Atleti message to the world,
to try to inspire the world
in a way, with the message of the present,
that at that time, made more sense than ever.
The only person who knows better than anyone how to survive and resist
is Joaquín Sabina, isn't he? He has more lives than a cat.
And because I think he was a perfect partner
to deal with a song that was very important in our lives.
On an emotional level and because of the time we were living.
So I called Joaquín and said,
"Joaquín, let's write a song for Atleti. For our Atleti.
Since we are at this strange moment,
I think it could be an emotional incentive for the fans."
First I made a demo at home with the acoustics.
I went to his house in the summer,
to spend part of the summer at his home, in Rota, in Cádiz.
And we found it.
Joaquín and I finished the song.
The club was happy with the song and...
And somehow, I felt my work was done,
and I took a step back.
And I forgot that it was going to be played in a stadium one day.
"PARTIDO A PARTIDO" LEIVA AND JOAQUÍN SABINA
The day before LaLiga started,
we decided to show the song.
The news about Luis was amazing.
Cholo didn't have coronavirus anymore.
Don't tell me about resisting This is my Atleti Madrid
We made a song for Atleti Madrid.
I realized its emotional range,
beyond the transcendence the song may have.
But the emotional range that it had for me.
It reminded me of going to the stadium at eight, nine, ten years old.
The empty stadium,
and the song playing with all the nostalgia that it has.
With that evocative message about the people who are gone.
Something very important happened. I'm taking that to my grave.
I think that is one of the most exciting moments I remember.
One game at a time
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 27 4:00 P.M.
Concerning the Covid that I had...
Thank God, here we are again.
With great enthusiasm, with excitement and a lot of energy
to return to the wonderful tournament that is the Spanish LaLiga.
38 GAMES TO THE END
I think we played just one preseason match,
here, at home.
And, with a single preparation match,
we won 6-1.
Starting and winning that way,
yes, it is surprising and motivating for the start of the championship.
We were very good defensively, and offensively we were even better.
It looked like we had been playing together for a decade.
Correa, Costa wants it. Costa lets it through.
João Félix appears.
He can shoot, he fakes... Look how good he is. He's so good!
The game was good.
We won comfortably.
Having Luis and Llorente in the second half,
because they both started on the bench,
but in those 30 minutes with Suárez in the field,
the team showed an offensive strength
different from previous years.
Personally,
of all my debuts in different teams,
I think this was the one I'm the happiest with.
Because it was perfect: I came in, made an assist,
scored two goals... It was incredible.
THE EUPHORIA SLOWS DOWN: TWO WINS IN FIVE GAMES
ATLETI CAN'T SCORE THREE GAMES WITHOUT GOALS
That's why I like to take soccer one game at a time.
Like life, one day at a time.
Everything that seems wonderful today, maybe tomorrow isn't.
We knew that those two draws
were not going to throw us off track.
The season is long. It is not defined by the first three games.
It is defined by 38 matches.
We felt frustrated that, from the very beginning,
people didn't have faith in us.
From then on, the season starts to look bad.
The team doesn't follow you.
The team no longer responds.
These are situations that you have to navigate calmly.
On the last day, we got a call from LaLiga.
An English team, Arsenal,
notified they were going to pay Thomas' release clause.
That was at 11:38 p. m.
Twenty-two minutes before the closing of the transfer window,
they deposited Thomas' clause.
That was a hard blow, because it made us look bad
and it made our project lose credibility
from the outside.
But I remember that from the next day onwards,
talking to Diego during training, he seemed very calm about it.
I, honestly, didn't understand,
because I saw that an improving midfielder was leaving,
and he was important to the team,
and Diego was not worried at all.
And only after a month did I realize what was going on.
That Diego, like all special coaches,
had already seen the team's progression.
He was already thinking about change,
and counting on a lot of talented players in another system.
This is the captain speaking.
Welcome to the charter flight to Pamplona Airport.
33 GAMES TO THE END
Osasuna's match was a turning point,
because we didn't have Luis.
And we looked for the development of Hermoso.
The possibility of playing with three center backs.
The team adapted to the situation.
It was able to structure itself in a better way,
both to attack and defend.
And from then on, the team started to feel very comfortable.
I always say we do what we see.
And, obviously, we try to cooperate on defense.
That always has to be there,
and boost what the team was yearning for:
to empower players like João Félix, Luis Suárez,
Costa, Correa, Lemar, Llorente...
The team improved a lot.
That was the first genius idea Diego had during the league.
32 GAMES TO THE END
Aerial!
Goal!
For almost 32 games, I think, the team led.
Leader in a 38-game championship.
It's really tough.
It's easy to get there, but it's difficult to stay there.
We've been leaders almost...
I don't know, since November.
And keeping up at the top isn't easy.
We got to first place very early on,
and since then, I don't think we've ever lost it.
In the first ten games, there are a lot of leaders.
But whoever seizes it and says, "It's mine,"
that's what demonstrates the category of a team.
And that shows how Atleti Madrid has grown.
JOÃO FÉLIX, PLAYER OF THE MONTH IN NOVEMBER
We knew João was going to have problems the first year.
He was coming from a less competitive league.
We knew he needed time.
In this league, he stood up from the outset.
He looked like a different player.
As he is.
I've never felt this way. So confident.
I was happy. I was okay. The team was fine. We were leading.
And things were going well for me.
A player who, at all times, in every situation,
makes a difference.
He will be one of the best players in the world in the next few years.
And luckily he's with us.
Champion. The legendary Savić.
Did you win?
-Pardon me? -Did you win?
Of course. Who else is going to win? Carrasco?
-Let's see the ranking. -I'll show you later.
At the end.
Me, Thom and Kondo, another level.
João and Yannick, fighting for the relegation.
-No! -Yes!
-You're the worst. -No!
Look, film this. Here.
39. And Savić, 27.
-Savić is the last one! -No...
SUÁREZ TESTS POSITIVE AND WILL NOT PLAY AGAINST BARÇA
These are special matches that you really want to play.
But that was yet more proof of what Atleti Madrid is
as a team.
Lately against Barcelona...
31 GAMES TO THE END
...we were getting closer to winning,
because we had drawn several games,
because we had won in the Spanish Super Cup,
in Saudi Arabia,
and we knew it was going to happen.
Come on, go, go!
Mario Hermoso showing beautiful skills to get the ball out of there.
The ball for Correa up front.
Ter Stegen is coming out of the penalty area!
Chance for Carrasco!
Goal...
for Atleti Madrid!
Many people asked me whether it was out of luck.
Angelito gave me an extraordinary pass.
And when I turn my head, I see Ter Stegen at the last minute.
And I try to play the ball.
I can't tell whether it's between the legs,
or whether it was luck.
And from there I didn't know if I had to go to the goal
or shoot from afar because there were still many meters left.
If I ran, because I was tired...
If I ran with the ball, they were going to steal it from me.
So I went for the long shot
and I managed to score the goal. It was a very special moment for me.
And it came at the best time.
In a year that made us strong.
Being able to defeat Barcelona made us strong,
having played a match with the personality that the team showed.
And it showed some good signs of what was to come.
28 GAMES TO THE END
The rojiblancos
are very aware of what is at stake today,
because they could turn the tables and show great authority in LaLiga.
We weren't able to get in the game.
We didn't position well on the field.
And they were better than us, especially in the first half.
Losing a derby is always hard.
This team shows reaction.
It doesn't stand still.
And when it receives a blow,
it grows stronger.
After that game, we started winning again, which is important.
"BADLY INJURED AFTER PADDLING AGAINST THE HURRICANE"
It's in recognition of the fans.
It is in recognition of our own fallen.
It is in recognition of the essence of our club, the fans.
Everything in our management is about them.
Atleti Madrid is what its fans are,
without any doubt.
Everyone praises the passion, commitment and loyalty
that Atleti Madrid fans have,
but those of us who have the privilege of enjoying it, we experience it
and we know for certain they are the essence of a soccer club,
especially Atleti Madrid.
It has been an especially difficult season,
and it's been very complicated
to get to the end of the journey as leaders.
With the support of our fans it would have been infinitely easier.
I think having people in this stadium, Wanda Metropolitano,
is essential. The joy of these 70,000 people
who visit us every Sunday we play at home would have been huge.
I'm Margarita,
member of Atleti Madrid for over 40 years.
I place Pantić's bouquet of flowers,
since we won The Double.
I've been placing the bouquet every Sunday for the last 25 years.
And this past year it wasn't possible,
because, with the pandemic,
the club took care of placing it there.
We were at home, my daughters were by the pool,
and one of them says,
"Mom, you got a call from Atleti."
"From Atleti now?" She goes, "Yes."
And I see it's Koke.
I was so moved that I started crying like a child.
He called me to ask how to place the bouquet.
Shall I put it around here?
-You tell me. -Stand next to the board.
Okay, I'm next to the board.
Next to the board,
-and place the flowers facing the goal. -Okay. Good.
-See if this is okay. -Okay.
Let me know.
Is that okay?
-No. -No.
More like facing the corner flag.
Like this?
Yes, that's it.
-Is that okay? -There.
-Right, then... -There.
That's where we leave it, let's see if it brings us luck today, and we win.
-Okay... -And we score a set piece goal.
-Good luck. -Thank you very much.
-So long, darling. -Thank you very much.
Sending all of you kisses.
-Kisses. Take care. -Goodbye.
Oh, that made me so happy. It gave me such joy.
To place the bouquet for me because I couldn't be there...
That's a nice gesture from the club that I won't forget.
You find it every Sunday.
Seeing the bouquet always there.
When we watched it on TV, people said,
"Marga, your bouquet! Your bouquet is there!"
FILOMENA BURIES MADRID
We had just beaten Alavés.
And all of a sudden, Filomena arrives.
And it stops us in our tracks.
It had never happened before, right?
I've never seen anything like what happened in January.
DIRECTOR OF INFRASTRUCTURE
There's a good amount of snow.
There's a 40 centimeter layer of snow here.
After today's snowfall,
the match at Wanda Metropolitano could not be played.
We still don't know when it will be possible to play it.
Thanks to that snowfall I didn't have to skip the match,
because no one knew, neither the coach nor the doctors,
that my calf muscle was injured.
Nothing serious, but I wasn't fit to play.
And when it started to snow, I said,
"Please don't stop, otherwise, I won't be fit to play this game tomorrow."
I think we spent four days at home, not even training.
The club opened the Wanda for us to go train
because we couldn't do it at Cerro.
We had to come in two or three cars to training, things like that.
It was a Sunday afternoon I went to the bumper cars
I am the creator of that video.
I think Luis recorded it.
And I immediately asked him for it.
I edited it in the in the locker room.
I put it together with the music, and a very cool video came out of it.
23 GAMES TO THE END
Welcome to the broadcast of the match.
The temperature is 24,5 ºF
but the wind chill factor is even lower.
The match was coming and the other team had trained.
Because in Seville there were no snow problems.
That match was decisive.
Because, to definitely get to fight
against Real Madrid and Barcelona,
we have to defeat our equals.
And Sevilla was doing really well.
Yes, I remember that day against Sevilla.
It was very cold. The temperature was less than 20 degrees.
I was on the bench like this.
Freezing...My God!
It's very hard for a player who is waiting
and for us to warm them up
in case they have to compete at that temperature.
We started the new year well.
And I hope the team can maintain this level. Let's see how far we go.
THE ENGLISH FEDERATION PENALIZES TRIPPIER FOR TEN WEEKS
TEN-MATCH BAN FOR TRIPPIER
It was a very important loss because Vrsaljko wasn't ready yet,
and Trippier was having an outstanding season.
He was becoming a very important player.
It is true that the loss of Trippier, especially on a mental level,
at the beginning, it hurt.
Everybody knows Trippier's level.
But given the position I play, and how well I connect with him,
I was more aware of what the consequences were going to be.
The team, at that time, showed once again
that it is a group. A real collective.
ATLETI'S SPECTACULAR FIRST HALF OF THE SEASON - A 50-POINT HALF
An unimaginable first half of the championship.
The first half of 2014 had been extraordinary too,
but, in my opinion, this one was better.
It was very complicated.
We knew our game style,
the way we played. We were good in defense. We didn't concede.
We completed a nearly perfect first half of the season.
Come on!
The plan was to play and enjoy ourselves.
Without objectives, without thinking about anything else.
Just... "We've got a good dynamic,
and we're enjoying it. Let's continue with this streak."
And we realized, after 50 points...
"We have to be champions this year because we really are strong."
Getting 50 points in the first half in a league like the Spanish league
is not easy at all.
When one came out, another came in.
The quality was kept
and we continued scoring goals.
And we knew that the second half was going to be a lot harder.
We started working on the second half with that advantage,
but knowing that Real Madrid and Barcelona were not going to give in.
"THE SHIPWRECK SURVIVORS CLIMB TO THE BALCONY OF LONELINESS"
In this house, we're colchoneros.
Therefore, every uncivilized being can come.
And I hadn't seen my cousin for almost a year.
And Atleti is a fantastic excuse to get together.
-It's the best. -Yes.
The best excuse to get together.
The club asked him for a song,
and told him that if he can talk me into being in it, it would be great.
And this is the best guy in the world to do that.
He's an expert smooth talker.
So he talked me into it.
In fact, it's the only song I've done,
because I wrote the lyrics,
since my last album.
The pretext and the excuse of calling Joaquín
to make the song for Atleti
was almost the only way to make Joaquíngo go back to writing.
Atleti Madrid.
Yes.
And it was an opportunity to get together with several Atleti fans.
-With Almudena Grandes... -Yes. José Tomás.
If we talk about Atleti Madrid "resisting,"
he's the one who can talk about that.
And it was a time when we thought...
-You did your bit for the lyrics, too. -Yes.
And a good bit.
We said, "If we're not moved by the end of it,
we won't show it."
Yes, but, besides, as I had already done a hymn,
which I like a lot,
but it wasn't made to sing at concerts.
This, however, can be sung at concerts.
And I plan to do it.
Especially when I sing at the Bernabéu.
Although there's nothing but a hole left by the Manzanares
I thought the verse about the Calderón was very nice.
-That had to be there. -The start is beautiful.
If the first verse is not good, you don't have a song.
That's right.
Joaquín said to me, "Lei, I have these two verses."
And we started, and I said, "There's a song."
I thought, "We have a song."
-That was it. -That's how it was.
At first we tried not to make allusions to the club, right?
-We were... -You wanted to...
Your first idea was not to even mention Atleti.
-Yes. -And yet,
then you got going with the chorus...
"Don't tell me about resisting, this is my Atleti Madrid."
Something started to emerge. Something authentic started to happen.
It just sounded so good!
So good!
I thought, "Let's go for it!"
By the time we finished the song, we were truly moved, right?
And then Joaquín had the great idea,
and I think it's the key to the song,
of linking Luis Aragonés and Cholo Simeone.
Joaquín said, "We have to include 'And win and win and win' somehow."
And it was hard to include that.
"And win and win and win and win again."
And we did it, didn't we?
Yes, because in that almost "Dylanesque" structure
-that you created... -That's right.
-It fit. -You can pile up the words,
and it sounds good to do it.
And win and win and win
And win and win again
One game at a time
Koke said, "We played the song before the last games
and it was a lucky charm."
And that, even if it's stupid...
Feeling you are a tiny part of that, is very exciting.
We are very big fans.
I, out of group sentiment, out of a sense of class,
out of a feeling of neighborhood,
out of smelling where my people were,
I said, "I'm going to support Atleti."
And when they asked for the hymn, that multiplied by a thousand.
But it was a sense of belonging to the neighborhood,
to a social class, to a way of feeling and living.
That's right.
For me, it's being part of something I feel very proud of.
I feel like I'm part of something where my people are, right?
That's why we're sitting here.
It makes us belong to something
we are especially proud of.
To something that's worth it.
And we've really missed the audience.
The audience is the most important thing.
And I think we should do a Wanda Metropolitano together,
a concert.
But once this is over, when you can pack it.
We'll have to do that.
It's just that we...
Our passion goes beyond the team.
It's for the fans, the colchoneros, which we think is exemplary.
Go Atleti!
One game at a time
COVID-19 DECIMATES ATLÉTI
HERMOSO AND CARRASCO TEST POSITIVE AND WON'T PLAY
This season, with Covid,
you never know when you'll lose a player.
Of the 23 players, 21 had coronavirus.
There were a number of players that had to contend with Covid...
ATLETI WON'T MEET BEFORE GAME
...at a time when the team had found a great rhythm.
LEMAR AND HERRERA RAISE POSITIVE CASES TO SIX
19 GAMES TO THE END
We almost got the win against Celta.
That morning we had a lot of Covid cases.
They equalized at the last minute.
We were playing against Celta.
It really screwed us because we played a very good match.
An eight-win streak is broken.
We almost grabbed the three points,
and in the end, they scored this goal and we lost two points.
17 GAMES TO THE END
We had to play two games in a row against Levante.
The team at that time
was showing it was still on the same path.
Because, honestly, in the match we tied against Levante
we had created a lot of chances to win it.
Llorente tries the shot. Llorente, goal!
Marcos Llorente scores!
He equalizes the game. Levante 1, Atleti Madrid 1.
There!
No!
There I thought something had to change,
otherwise, it could escape us.
16 GAMES TO THE END
In the first goal they scored, the ball hits two players
and it goes in, a weird goal.
As I say, scoring a goal on Jan... It can only be done like this.
They played a great game,
they ended up winning,
but after we...
I think it was our match with most shots on goal.
Their goalkeeper was great.
It was a difficult time.
In the end, Levante hurt us the most this year.
Second setback of the season for Simeone's team
in LaLiga Santander.
First setback at home.
Atleti Madrid, in four games,
have lost as many points as in the first 19.
That week affected us a little.
We said, "We lost. We don't have any more room for errors.
We've already lost the points we can afford to lose."
Real Madrid and Barça got closer to us.
And from there, the championship became more complicated.
14 GAMES TO THE END COURAGE AND HEART
We noticed support from the fans in spite of not being at the stadiums.
We miss them.
It's not the same without the fans.
It's not the same losing without the fans.
It's not the same winning without the fans.
For an Atleti player, playing without fans is not easy.
They really help you on the field.
Atleti Madrid - Real Madrid. It's derby afternoon in the capital.
The first half we played spectacularly.
Even the second half. I think it was up to the 70th minute, more or less, 75th,
the team could have scored more than the goal we scored in the first half.
We weren't lucky enough to secure the game
and, well, in one play, they...
They had warned us, Jan did two great saves, but they equalized it.
We could have made a statement,
because we would have increased our advantage over Real Madrid,
but it did not happen.
But the team gained strength.
Because we knew that doing things the way we were doing them,
we could achieve what we've achieved.
We were four points away from Barcelona.
If they tied with us, they would get much closer.
They were already close.
He calls the VAR, and I see he's going to rule a penalty.
And I say, "Unbelievable."
Because we really had the match under control.
I don't think it was a penalty.
And I said, "Please, Jan, save me once, please."
The penalty came at a time we did not deserve to lose that match.
But they had a penalty at the last minute.
And Jan showed up.
The best in the world.
If we want to win LaLiga, I have to save it.
Joselu gets ready to shoot!
Jan Oblak sends the ball to a corner kick!
We're all hugging him, celebrating,
because we knew how important it was. We had played a great match.
We could have scored more goals.
And in the final minutes they almost tied the match.
But, thanks to him, it wasn't like that.
Get the ball out!
Shoot.
Just before the Betis match, during training,
it started to hurt a lot. I didn't know why.
I remembered Gabi, who went through the same thing
when we won the league in 2014,
who also had a rib fissure.
And talking to the massage therapist, he said,
"Captain, with a rib fissure, we'll be champions for sure." And look.
ATLETI, PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION TO 'EL CLÁSICO'
In El Clásico, Barça were close to getting a draw.
But, at the end of the day, we were still the leaders.
We didn't have the pressure of having to move up,
they had to catch up with us.
9 GAMES TO THE END
He dribbles, combines with João, goes for the one-two pass.
Correa appears. Loose ball... Carrasco!
Atleti's goal in the fourth minute of the match!
Carrasco reaffirms, at least for now,
the leadership of Atleti Madrid.
In the match against Betis, which we didn't win in the end,
I had two opportunities.
If I had scored, we could have won the match.
Yes, Cholo was waiting for us all.
And he gave me a hug, because he knows, he knows me
and he knew I was affected,
because those plays did not end in goals.
And at that time he told me, "Don't worry, eventually you'll score."
Ángel is one of our own.
A boy with talent, who is very humble.
He used to be a substitute and now he's fundamental to the team.
He won his place.
But he doesn't feel superior to his teammates.
I had a pretty bad time
because that's the way I feel soccer.
I knew the team needed me.
We were creating chances but they didn't end in goals.
I told him, "Everyone criticizes you because you're missing goals.
Now, who has the chances of scoring? You do.
So if you have an opportunity, calm down.
That's not the problem.
The problem is not having a goal opportunity.
When you find that calmness that you have to have to score a goal,
you will score it, because you create the chance."
You do this, and it's here.
It isn't here, but there.
There. Here...
There.
Did you see how? I played it inside. I don't know if you saw it.
Because it seems easy.
No, it seems easy.
These are moves we were rehearsing in the training sessions.
The player always needs that peace of mind.
At that time, because I was creating the chances,
I was in a hurry to finish them.
And I needed to feel confident that they were going to go in.
8 GAMES TO THE END
Carrasco inside the box.
Carrasco crosses it! Correa controls it...
Goal from Angelito Correa!
What a beautiful turn by Correa inside the box!
He puts it in the corner.
Correa scores! Two for the Argentinian!
Atleti Madrid 2, Eibar 0.
At the most important moment in the league,
he ended up being absolutely decisive in this championship.
"DON'T TELL ME ABOUT RESISTING, THIS IS MY ATLETI MADRID"
I've been an Atleti Madrid supporter
since I was born, so to speak.
Little by little, it's being instilled,
you're being filled with those values
which you are going to live with till the end.
Whenever we could, especially together with my son,
my son Pablo,
we have had the opportunity to enjoy one of the best times,
if not the best, in Atleti Madrid's history.
There's a key moment in my life,
in 2017,
when I was diagnosed with a neurological disease.
It's called dystonia.
Primary symptoms are uncontrolled movements
from the head to the side,
You notice you can't make the movements
that you need to make.
And the worst thing that can happen is being affected by stress,
anxiety,
discouragement, depression.
That only worsens this disease
which doesn't allow you to move your head freely.
When Atleti begins to display doubt,
the rivals start to get closer, and that doubt
becomes your own.
Excessive tension, nervousness,
is the worst for my dystonia.
And, well, I have no choice but to stop watching the match
and go to another room.
Don't tell me about resisting
This is my Atleti Madrid
In all games, in the final stretch,
so as not to hear my family shouting the comeback goals in the living room,
I put my headphones on
and started listening "Partido a Partido" in a loop.
Time and again... And I sang along.
And as loud as possible so as not to hear.
So I wouldn't hear what was happening.
And waited for good news at the end of it.
And win and win again
One game at a time
We called the physical therapists, the doctors, the equipment managers...
BECAUSE THEY FIGHT AS BROTHERS
Everybody.
And I told them, "From now on, when you welcome the players,
don't say 'good morning' to them.
From now on, tell them, 'We're going to be champions.'"
And then I said, "Let's see, how are you going to tell them?
Let's practice."
And they said, "We're going to be champions."
"No!
You have to tell them, 'We're going to be champions!
Good morning.'"
Inertia carries you.
The energy is with you.
And we had to search everywhere,
and put it in their heads that we were going to be champions.
It was a key match for us.
6 GAMES TO THE END
Because at that time of the season,
a victory there was going to mean a lot.
San Mamés! Great match ahead of us here, in the Cathedral!
We did not play a good first half, that's a fact.
The second half, until we tied.
In the end, we did a good second half.
We had created chances. They had played a good game.
But we lost unfairly in the last minute.
In the penalty area... Íñigo Martínez scores!
Right now, mentality is key.
So I imagine five days which, of course,
will be very entertaining for everyone.
A PRIVATE KOKE AUDIO IS LEAKED
You know we're fucking Atleti, man.
And, the harder we have it, the better we do it.
And the easier it is, the worse for us.
So remember, we're going to win this league, man.
Because nobody believes in us.
And when no one believes in us, that's when we do things best.
I had bad luck. That audio was leaked.
And honestly, fortunately, it became true.
Imagine if it hadn't. How bad I would have looked.
It made people hopeful too,
not because they did not believe,
but they knew it was difficult.
LALIGA AT STAKE IF BARÇA BEAT GRANADA, THEY BECOME LEADERS
A match with maximum tension.
The lead of LaLiga Santander is at stake.
We got to the Barcelona - Granada match.
Up to that point Barcelona was having a great season.
But they had also shown some weakness that could appear at certain points.
And they just appeared on that day.
And when Granada won, we perceived
that we had to exert pressure.
5 GAMES TO THE END
A very emotional song for us, for the Atleti family.
They decided to play it.
And, from there, we played it every game until the end.
And, well, that game...
I don't really know if it was the song or what it was, but it gave us luck.
They both need the points and a victory, if possible.
We're looking forward to a great match, on Elche's field.
The team was playing well, pressing.
And then I said, "I'll take my chances," and tried to face the defender
and managed to give the assist.
And that was an explosion that reassured the team.
Not dominating the score, especially in the first half,
when we saw that the team was far superior to Elche,
but we couldn't finish it off.
We suffered because we didn't secure the game.
Then there was a penalty.
And we prayed.
At that moment, I thought
that because of my handball, I was ruining the work
the team had done all year.
That all the fans' dreams were going to be shattered because of me.
Jan Oblak under the woodwork.
Fidel feints, shoots...
He hits the post!
I don't know if Oblak touched it!
It was the first time in my life
that I was happy I didn't stop it.
Luckily, it went to the post. I didn't touch it.
Because, if you do, it has to be taken again.
I don't know what would've happened the second time.
And the reaction was as if we had scored a goal.
The reaction was as if saying,
"It's going to be our championship."
I celebrated that missed penalty
more than any goal I or someone else had scored,
because it's a release of that sense of guilt
that I had in my body.
That was the time, well... I was convinced all season,
but there, when the ball hit the post,
I said, "It's for sure.
This year we're going to win the league, for sure."
Calmly. One game at a time, now more than ever.
We are moving forward, we have a good match on Saturday.
Let's go for it.
LaLiga is at stake.
4 GAMES TO THE END
It was a very important match
where we had to show what we wanted
and where we wanted to go.
Playing against former teammates
I had trained with on a daily basis for six years
was difficult. It was different for me.
But I tried to live it, to enjoy it more than anything else.
An important game. A true soccer match,
in a very tight league at the end of the championship.
We'll do our best.
At a champion's pace. Give me goals.
-At a champion's pace! -Come on.
Come on! All the way down.
You can tell when a team comes to win.
You can tell!
We go out to win from the very beginning!
Lemar fakes in the box.
He shoots! In two stages, Ter Stegen.
Atleti's first chance in minute two of the game.
It was clear from the beginning that we were out to win.
We didn't go out there to defend.
And the team went out to win, to say, "Here's the champion."
With authority, with skill.
We played really well.
Jan Oblak, with the left hand,
from pro to pro,
he cleared the ball to the corner!
What a save for Oblak!
Despite having tied, we felt that
if we played like this the remaining matches,
we were winning LaLiga.
That made us confident we would have a good league final.
Good! Come on! Yes, good! Good!
Good!
Come on, go!
Come on! Recover!
Positive mind.
The team played a great match today.
It's not easy.
So let's continue.
-Later. Thank you. -Goodbye. Thank you.
"DRIBBLING THE FUTURE IN THE EXTRA TIME"
It was a surprise.
When they called me the other day,
they asked me if I wanted to come to place the bouquet.
I'm really moved.
I really am.
With a lot of joy inside.
Because I won't forget it.
After so long, to come now...
It's beautiful. I can't explain it.
Both the song and watching the Atleti matches,
once they are over,
is like therapy for my illness.
And it really helps me a lot.
More than anything else.
Being able to share what it means to be an Atleti Madrid supporter
with your family
is something that no one
but the Atleti fans can understand.
2 GAMES TO THE END
Because we had such a great year,
it was sad they could not be there,
both for us and for them.
But we've felt their presence all year round.
They were outside the stadiums, encouraging us.
They supported us from home.
I think this team has given hope to these people,
for the whole situation we were going through
due to Covid.
We've entered the Suárez zone.
The match was... very weird.
Because we stared it well, creating opportunities.
We hit the post twice, first Saúl, then Luis.
Pressing, playing on their half.
We could have been winning 2-0 at the break.
And all of a sudden, in minute seventy-something,
they score with their first shot on goal.
And then you have to come back.
When we stop to drink water,
they tell us that Real Madrid is winning.
We have to score two goals or Real will be ahead.
Don't lose your head at the back.
Hey, Stefan! Come on! Be strong! Strong here!
We have to be mentally strong!
Mentally strong!
Play calmly. The goal is coming. Come on!
-Come on! -Come on!
Fifteen minutes left.
I think the team had the nerve it had to have at the time.
For me, the most important thing in my life.
I remember Koke had the ball, he gave it to Savić,
Savić to João.
I turn, and see him making a run.
I send the ball there.
Lodi... Luis Suárez is open...
Goal for Atleti Madrid!
Great definition.
Renan Lodi nails it in the upper corner!
Cholo Simeone asks them to take it easy.
We knew that, if we equalized, we were going to win it.
Half a turn, opening the field, passes it to Trippier.
Trippier leaves it inside.
Carrasco versus Juan Cruz.
Carrasco, Juan Cruz... Looking to cross...
Goal by Luis Suárez!
Amazing!
At the 87th minute of the match, Atleti has come back from the 0-1 score.
In the 88th minute of the match, the team relies solely on itself again.
It represents everything Atleti is. A family.
When you sign for Atleti Madrid,
you have to play with heart. You never give up.
Total joy
and one of the best moments of the season.
I was lucky enough to score 2-1 there.
Right on time.
Being there at the right time,
at the exact time.
And there it was also a tactical change from the coach,
who always puts me on the left
and in that match, suddenly, he puts me on the right.
And I make the goal move and pass it to Luis.
I think the team matured a lot.
We kept a cool head.
And then, having Luis as well.
We resisted.
We resisted that race that Barcelona did
up to the match with Granada.
The Madrid race till the end.
In a season where everyone says
it wasn't good for Madrid,
they lost four games, just like us.
We won one more match than them.
What I'm telling you makes the tournament better.
Come on!
-Come on! -Come on!
Come on!
Come on, go!
Come on! Come on, get up, be strong!
-Come on, people! -Come on, boys! Come on!
Come on, go!
My God, bother.
This is Atleti.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be us, it's that simple.
The longest running league ever.
Incredible.
It was a yellow card caused by the other player.
Because I tried to avoid the provocation,
but imagine, minute seventy-something,
you're losing the league
and someone is celebrating and provoking you in your face
when he scores the goal.
I'm like that.
I can't turn away
and say, "Everything is fine."
Maybe it's my fault, too.
But I was hurt for not being able to help my teammates.
Hey, you motherfucker!
It was a tough week for Stefan.
I started waking up, I don't know, at 8:00.
I always sleep until 11:00 or 12:00 in the afternoon, 1 p. m...
And all of a sudden, I know I can't play this match,
I feel something in my stomach, a bad feeling.
And I woke up at 8:00, 8:30, and I couldn't sleep anymore.
Thirty-eight games, and the last game is a decisive one.
And he couldn't be there.
Right now we'd have a last day
in which Atleti, winning in Valladolid, would become champions.
To see these people coming over, or waiting outside
to be able to live a historic moment
is something you can't explain.
Atleti! Atleti!
Atleti Madrid!
How was it possible that we could feel our people
as if they were in the stadium.
LAST GAME
I understood it wasn't going to be an easy first half.
Why?
Valladolid were very close to relegation. They barely had a chance.
And that was going to free them.
The penultimate game we said that the heart was not ready
for another match like that.
We didn't play a good first half.
Because, we have to be realistic,
there is a lot of tension in the match.
We want to be champions.
Too much anxiety to play.
It was another blow.
We were punished on a counter.
A spectacular play.
Attention to Plano! The shot!
Goal for Real Valladolid!
They scored and I said, "I'm calm.
We'll equalize and we'll win it."
The team, at the end of the first half,
started to improve.
We started talking during the break.
And I think we were clear with them.
DRESSING ROOM AUDIO
We have to go out and play with joy, with enthusiasm and hope!
Come on!
-Come on, team! -One, two and three, Atleti!
A team that got used to turning the results around.
And that fact, that verb, "reverse," is very important in soccer.
In the second half they came in feeling different.
We were pressing up higher, the team was better positioned.
We were moving the ball quickly,
and there was aggressiveness. We were looking for the goal.
And Correa appeared to become our angel.
He scored an extraordinary goal.
With the tip, like in the neighborhood, in the street.
Correa outside the box. He fakes once, he fakes twice, and a third time!
-Goal! -What a great goal!
Spectacular goal from Correa who got to the end of the championship
fully inspired!
Correa deserved it more than anyone else.
Correa just did a Maradonian maneuver!
He just tied the match!
When I control the ball, a Valladolid player comes at me,
and I was able to fake him,
and when the center back comes at me,
I see he opens his legs and I can kick the ball with the tip of my foot.
And, luckily, it went in there, next to the post.
The goalkeeper couldn't reach it.
Goal!
In my opinion, he scored the goal of the season.
And I felt immense happiness.
And I wanted to return quickly to the midfield
to kickoff and go find the next goal
because we needed to win.
Valladolid passed it backwards,
and Suárez was running.
Honestly... I didn't look at him.
I did not look.
Suárez was going there and I went looking the other way.
Spying to see what happened.
They've given it away.
André leaves Luis Suárez alone.
One on one. There goes Luis Suárez.
Goal!
Atleti Madrid!
Come on, champion!
Goal!
Come on!
I control the ball...
And the run seemed endless.
It felt endless.
Luckily, I could hear Marcos.
Llorente was saying to me, "You're alone!"
The only way I could help him, and I did it instinctively,
was shouting: "You're alone!",
so that he would be calmer.
And that's what I told Marcos.
I told him after the goal, "It's a good thing you talked to me."
Many times, the striker doesn't see the defense.
And if you don't have a teammate, and nobody to talk to you,
you shoot too early, or the shot isn't good.
And having Marcos talking to me
gave me the serenity I needed.
With skill and personality. A winner.
A goal scorer. A true striker.
The Suárez zone.
After that goal,
nothing could take the championship from us.
Trippier steals the ball at the last minute,
right next to our side.
Koke, Trippier and the coach start screaming like crazy.
We were on the stairs because it was almost over.
The referee had given three minutes of extra time.
João, finish it there!
With the ball on the side, Trippier,
the man who managed to avoid that last attack from Valladolid,
passes it to João Félix. João Félix holds it.
The match is over! LaLiga is over!
The champion is in Pucela,
it's Atleti Madrid!
They ask me, "Why are you laughing and smiling
when the championship ends, instead of crying or running?"
And I get a natural smile.
I think about that time and I laugh again.
Because it's wonderful to win again.
Champions! Champions!
We gave it all! That's it, damn it!
Together, like a family!
Let's continue like this! The story of Atleti, damn it!
Come on!
Honestly, I can't be any happier. I'm at a loss for words.
We're going to enjoy it now. We suffered a lot.
The players. Everyone. We all know how much we suffered.
The people who left...
Come on!
I always dreamed of being a professional soccer player,
to get to the First Division and becoming champion.
It's pure Atleti Madrid.
As we all say here,
nothing is easy here.
In the end, winning like this gives you even more joy.
Champions! Champions!
It's a huge satisfaction.
It was very important to us to win LaLiga this year.
A humble team, with no stars.
We're all the same.
In the end, that's the only way to win championships.
Joy, happiness, satisfaction, pride...
You start thinking about a lot of things.
How difficult the year was,
and how complicated it is to win a league.
You feel a thousand things.
And I think that's the most beautiful thing about soccer.
Come on!
It's a great joy for us.
And we celebrated it like never before.
And it was a moment I want to repeat.
Being able to offer them this title,
and being able to share it with them...
Seeing their happy faces...
I think that's the best thing about soccer.
A family, more than a club.
For me it's special to become a champion here.
And on the team, we're friends before teammates.
What the team achieved in such a short time is praiseworthy.
It's another way of understanding life,
because it's a different passion from that of other teams.
The only sadness and sorrow
was not being able to celebrate every triumph of Atleti Madrid
with all the fans.
Seeing the happiness of all the fans...
how crazy they got when their team became champion...
And I wish we could repeat this again with all our fans in our stadium.
We made our people feel a moment of joy, of excitement.
And showed them that it's possible.
That we must insist.
That we have to resist.
And it's no coincidence that we won this year.
Be generous. Try to compete,
and to resist adversity. Try to be authentic,
but, above all, live every minute with the necessary passion
to enjoy and do your best, and achieve the best possible result.
It's almost a way of feeling and living.
Hello. Good evening, everyone.
Come on!
Thank you so much for inviting me.
I don't know if you're aware of what you have done. I hope so.
But from the outside, as spectators,
you have made our hearts happy.
I love you very much, Atleti Madrid.
Although there's nothing but a hole left by the Manzanares
And jams on the boulevards of my heart
The prophets of yesterday
Are seagulls with broken wings, dying of thirst
Cats without boots
The shipwreck survivors climb to the balcony of loneliness
Badly injured after paddling against the hurricane
On Neptune's throne
There is no room for those who can't dream
One game at a time
Don't tell me about resisting This is my Atleti Madrid
Don't give me regrets
I'm talking about surviving
And keep crowning mountain tops
And keep conquering stairs
Dribbling the future in the extra time
And win and win and win
And win and win again
One game at a time
Don't tell me about resisting This is my Atleti Madrid
Don't give me regrets I'm talking about surviving
And keep crowning mountain tops And keep conquering stairs
Dribbling the future in the extra time
And win and win and win
And win and win again
One game at a time
Champions, champions!
SPECIAL THANKS TO LEIVA AND JOAQUÍN SABINA
FOR GIVING US SO MUCH MORE THAN A SONG
