The 25th round in La Liga came to an end this evening (Monday), as Atlético Madrid drew a dramatic 0:1 over Girona. The Colchoneros were of course more dangerous but not accurate enough, until Alvaro Morata put his foot in the right place at the right time, and pushed in (90+4) a corner kick from the right wing to determine the final result, with a goal confirmed by VAR. Thanks to the victory, Atlético opened a gap of three points in third place from Real Sociedad. Her opponent, on the other hand, is four points away from the red line.
After a difficult season that included early elimination from the Champions League and a loss to Real Madrid in the Spanish Cup, it was reported in Spain this evening that Simeone will remain in his position until the end of his contract – in 2024. The coach, it was claimed, agreed to cut his contract. At the moment, Simeone pocketes 20 million euros per season – more than any other coach in the world – and subject to the new summary, he should earn about 16.5 million euros per season.
