Angel Correa’s Last-Gasp Winner Highlights Atletico’s Rollercoaster Season Ahead of Club World Cup Debut
Angel Correa struck a dramatic 93rd-minute winner to seal a narrow victory for Atletico Madrid, despite Los Colchoneros being thoroughly outplayed—managing just four shots and less than 30% possession against their dominant opponents.
However, that moment of brilliance wasn’t enough to spark a turnaround in their season. Atletico’s campaign gradually lost steam, as they finished a distant third in La Liga and failed to make a deep run in either the UEFA Champions League or the Copa del Rey.
Despite this, Diego Simeone’s side showed signs of resurgence late in the season, winning six of their final nine matches and netting 19 goals across their last five victories. Unfortunately, those results came with little significance, following their Copa del Rey semi-final exit in early April.
Now, all eyes are on Atletico Madrid as they prepare for their FIFA Club World Cup debut. While this marks their first appearance in the revamped tournament, the club does have a taste of global silverware. Back in 1974, Atletico stepped in for Bayern Munich—who declined to participate in the Intercontinental Cup—and triumphed over Argentine giants Independiente 2-1 on aggregate to claim the title.
With that legacy in the background and a fresh challenge ahead, Simeone’s men will be eager to make their mark on the world stage.
