Historic burn from Edu Aguirre to Atlético over the team's presentation: 'The only thing'

Atlético took advantage of Thursday night to present the teams at the Metropolitano. It was the unveiling of the new signings, but also of the women's and B teams. As is usually the case in these situations, they had to remember Real Madrid with their chants.

Seeing how the players reacted, it seemed amusing to them and they felt triumphant. What they couldn't have expected was Edu Aguirre's historic "burn" over the presentation. Atlético has been exposed in the mirror that is reality for them.

"Atleti does this very well, it's true that it's the only chance they've had to throw a party in recent years. They almost never win anything, Madrid does it by winning the Champions League or La Liga," Aguirre said. A jab, but one that shows the reality and the huge difference between the two teams.

It's been a while since the Colchoneros only celebrated their team presentations and little else. Meanwhile, Real Madrid in 2024 came off a double triumph in La Liga and the Champions League. Last season, they lifted the Intercontinental and the UEFA Super Cup, further expanding their trophy cabinet.

The failure in the league debut that exposes the Colchoneros

This team celebration comes right after the Colchoneros' failure in their league debut. They faced Espanyol in a match that seemed under control during the first half. In fact, they took the lead on the scoreboard and after halftime, it looked like they were going to keep it up.

However, the Perico side exposed Atlético de Madrid's shortcomings in two plays. They managed to turn the score around so the Rojiblancos ended up losing in the first match. A season debut that surely wasn't what they expected.

After a blow like that, they show that their reality was seen this past Thursday at the Metropolitano. It's the only thing they can celebrate, as has happened in recent seasons. A team built on millions only to end up failing in every competition.
