Has Diego Simeone's project at Atlético come to an end?

What began as an exciting campaign for Atlético de Madrid has turned into a nightmare in just one month. After an outstanding first half of the season in La Liga that left them as provisional leaders, a notable performance in the Champions League, and a qualification for the Copa del Rey semi-finals, the red and white team has entered a worrying dynamic that raises doubts, even about the continuity of Diego Pablo Simeone.

Champions League and Copa del Rey Elimination

The hardest blow came in Europe, falling to Real Madrid in an agonizing duel decided in a penalty shootout. A painful elimination, with controversial refereeing decisions and an emotional toll that has left its mark on the squad. From there, the team has fallen apart. The cup elimination against Barcelona was another setback, and the same Barcelona side had already stormed the Metropolitano in the league days before. The gap in the domestic championship is already significant, and what seemed like a season to dream of has turned into a scenario of frustration.

Serious Mistakes That Have Not Been Resolved

In the last six games, only one victory. The team has shown serious errors, avoidable sanctions, and a worrying lack of reaction. The images of a lackluster group, outmatched in intensity by theoretically inferior rivals, point to a crisis deeper than it appears.

In this context, the big question is whether Simeone is still the right man to lead this project. Twelve years after his arrival, the "Cholo" has marked a golden era in the club, but cycles in football come to an end, and the wear and tear are evident. Atlético needs to rediscover its essence… and perhaps that means opening a new chapter in the dugout.
