Atlético, Embarrassed, Erases Real Madrid's Crest From Its Website

Atlético de Madrid is making headlines lately for off-field reasons. In recent weeks, the colchonero team has posted a series of publications on X heating up the league classic. As you all know, they've done the same with the Champions League one. 

In a clever way, they have imagined an instruction manual for those matches against Real Madrid. They do it from an insecure point of view and with very poor taste. Initially, it caught attention, but over time they are becoming pitiful.

Meanwhile, the colchonero team has once again made headlines with an email sent to their members promoting tickets for their future matches. In it, the Real Madrid crest doesn't appear, while the FC Barcelona crest does. It's surreal and unworthy of a club that wants to be great or at least appear to be.

In Valdebebas, they are above all this and barely want to give it importance. They are aware of how this club operates and believe it's not worth stopping to think or even bother. The relations between both entities are not at their best, and everything indicates that it will continue to be so for a long time.

They Want to Speak on the Field

This type of provocation reaches the locker room and the coaching staff. They have precisely asked Ancelotti several times about those tweets, and he prefers to be ironic about this matter. However, the Italian, behind closed doors, is aware that this can be an extra motivation for the team.

The two direct duels against Simeone's team have ended in a one-one draw. Now we have an exciting Champions League knockout round ahead, and there might be a Copa final. However, we must proceed with caution; it's clear that those Champions League round of 16 matches are going to be talked about.

In the Madrid squad, there is a strong desire to defeat the capital's neighbors. Some players even preferred Atlético de Madrid over Bayer Leverkusen.
