Squad

Argentine shot-stopper who built his reputation at Atalanta. A reliable deputy to Oblak in cup competitions, known for his composed distribution and sharp reflexes.

A Uruguayan warrior who embodies Cholismo. Dominant in the air and ferocious in the tackle — a nightmare for opposing forwards. His fiery temperament is part of the package.

Dynamic Italian full-back signed from Atalanta. His relentless up-and-down runs fit Simeone's wing-back mould perfectly. A tireless engine on the left flank.

A rising star who arrived from Elche in the January 2026 window. Technical on the ball with excellent vision — already earning Simeone's trust. The leading candidate to inherit Koke's mantle.

US international midfielder who emerged at Real Betis. Combines ball-winning ability with passing accuracy as a well-balanced holding midfielder. Working overtime as the engine room's enforcer.

A living legend with over 700 appearances — the most in club history. The ultimate one-club man who has seen every chapter of the Simeone era. His reading of the game and pinpoint passing remain as sharp as ever.

The club's all-time top scorer with over 200 goals. At 34, the French maestro still shines — equally lethal as a scorer and a creator. Mr. Atlético in every sense.

A cantera jewel who has claimed the midfield throne at just 22. Dictates tempo with short and long-range passing while pressing with intensity. A complete midfielder whose ceiling knows no bounds.

At 195cm, the Norwegian striker offers elite hold-up play paired with surprisingly soft feet. One of the league's most dominant aerial threats.

A marquee summer signing from Villarreal for €45M. His set-piece delivery is nothing short of art — free kicks are appointment viewing. A leading contender for Spain's number 10 shirt.

A South American magician signed from Botafogo. Glides through tight spaces with mesmeric dribbling and incisive final balls. South American flair at its most authentic.

One of the finest goalkeepers on the planet. The Slovenian wall has anchored Simeone's defence for years, consistently posting the league's best save percentages.

The ultimate utility man — capable of playing anywhere from midfield to defence. The hero of the 2020 Anfield miracle. Covers more ground than anyone else in the squad; they call him the "Llorente Engine."

Arrived seeking a fresh start after Barcelona. A left-footed centre-back valued for his build-up ability. Rebuilding his defensive intensity under Simeone's guidance.

World Cup-winning Argentine right-back with a nose for attacking positions. His runs in behind carry the explosive threat of a winger. The right flank's attacking switch.

The Slovak rock who elevated his stock at Feyenoord. Commanding in the air and capable of carrying the ball forward as an inverted centre-back. A headline signing this season.

A young Spaniard signed from Almería who can slot in across the right side. His adaptability is his greatest asset. Turned heads at the Paris Olympics.

Signed from Manchester City for €75M — Argentina's "Spider" who pops up everywhere. Combines predatory instinct, defensive work rate, and technical quality. The striker Simeone always dreamed of.

Yes, the manager's son — but this is no case of nepotism. Explosive sprint speed and devastating cut-ins are the real deal. A young lion proving himself in front of his father night after night.

A young Mexican-American midfielder who arrived from Seattle Sounders in the winter window. His energy and fighting spirit suggest he was made for Cholismo.

The man who hit a Europa League final hat-trick joins from Atalanta. Razor-sharp dribbling and the ability to score with either foot terrorise defenders. Made an instant impact since his February move.

On loan from Juventus, he tears down the left flank with pace and finishes with composure in front of goal. Argentina's wildcard option.

A EURO 2024 winner who excels in one-on-one duels yet can also play out from the back. The defensive nous he honed at Real Sociedad is world-class.

A 21-year-old cantera product who has developed at left-back through Atlético's B team. He made his La Liga debut in the February 2026 away win at Oviedo, producing the key play that led to Álvarez's 90+4' winner. Pace and courage on the left flank are his calling cards.
