Celta Vigo
Atletico Madrid play host to Celta Vigo at their Estadio Metropolitano on day 35 of the current La Liga campaign. Los Rojiblancos survived Mallorca at the weekend, with the team moving closer towards the Champions League berth. Diego Simeone’s men are eager to cement their spot in top four and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Os Celeste. Both Rodrigo de Paul and Alvaro Morata are pushing for a start, while influential forward Antoine Griezmann is back from suspension.
Os Celeste, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-2 win over Villarreal. The Galicians moved one step closer to securing the La Liga survival and seeing that Atletico Madrid want this win more than Celta, home win should be considered. As for the away team, all Joseph Aidoo, Jonathan Bamba, and Manu Sanchez remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Koke):
Jorge Resurreccion Merodio “Koke” has enjoyed a meteoric rise after coming through the youth ranks at Atletico Madrid, quickly becoming an important player for both club and country. Possessing impressive technical skills and very mature for his age, the highly rated midfielder is capable of covering just about any position in the middle of the park and he has been used as a central midfielder, left winger and right winger by both Diego Simeone and Vicente Del Bosque.
Koke has been a key member of one of the best generations in the history of Atletico Madrid, winning the 2013/2014 La Liga trophy and reaching the Champions League final the same year. Widely regarded as one of Europe’s best midfielders, it is only a matter of time before Koke will join an absolute top club and he is believed to be a primary target for La Liga rivals Barcelona.
While playing alongside Xavi Hernandez at the 2014 World Cup, Koke is believed to be a worthy successor of the former Catalans star in the national team now that he has retired, and with 20 Spain caps to his name, his international career is just starting.
