We host Elche in our first home game of the season
Our first outing of the campaign at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano kicks off at 19:30 CEST on Saturday.
At 19:30 CEST this Saturday, we play our first game at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano of the 25/26 LALIGA campaign. Aleti host Elche, as they look to secure their first win of the season.
Simeone’s side go into it following a defeat away at Espanyol on matchday 1, with the hosts overturning Julián Alvarez’s opener. The Rojiblancos will be hoping to repay the fans’ affection shown during 'Welcome Night'.
The newly-promoted Elche, on the other hand, drew 1-1 at home to Real Betis on the opening matchday. Our former player Germán Valera netted their goal.
Though Eder Sarabia’s side were in LALIGA Hypermotion last season, we played against them in the Copa del Rey round of 16. Atleti won that game by four goals to nil at the Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero thanks to a Sørloth brace and goals by Riquelme and Julián Alvarez.
