Diego Simeone is one of the longest-serving managers in Laliga and has turned Atletico Madrid into the top three best teams in Laliga in the past decade.
Diego Simeone’s success at Atletico Madrid has been linked to a constant stream of average players turned into superstars by the Argentine.
Atletico Madrid boasts of more experienced players than youngsters on the heydays of their career.
This season, former Chelsea forward Alvaro Morata is arguably the best player at Atletico Madrid so far.
Morata is a 29-year-old Spanish striker who has been with Atlético Madrid since 2021. He has made over 100 appearances for the club and has scored over 50 goals.
Morata has been in excellent form this season, scoring 6 goals in 8 appearances in all competitions. He has been instrumental in Atlético Madrid’s success so far this season, helping the team to win 6 of their first 8 matches in La Liga.
Morata is a complete striker who is excellent at finishing, heading, and linking up with his teammates. He is also a very good free-kick taker.
Other players who have performed well for Atlético Madrid in the early stages of the 2023/2024 season include:
- Antoine Griezmann (attacking midfielder)
- Ángel Correa (winger)
- Marcos Llorente (midfielder)
- Koke (midfielder)
- Jan Oblak (goalkeeper)
However, Morata has been the standout performer for the team so far and has been credited with helping to improve the team’s attacking output.
It is still early days in the 2023/2024 season, but Morata has already shown that he is a valuable asset to Atlético Madrid. He has the potential to be one of the best players in La Liga this season.
