Atlético Madrid head into the 2025/26 La Liga season with fierce determination under Diego Simeone.

The Colchoneros’ squad, bolstered by new signings and a rock-solid defense, is set for a thrilling year.
Their La Liga opener comes against Espanyol days later, testing their early-season depth. With a passionate fanbase at the RiyadhAir Metropolitano, Atlético’s title aspirations could ignite if they hit the ground running.
