Atletico Madrid’s Rodrigo De Paul Sends Strong La Liga Title Message
Atletico Madrid has faced an early setback in their quest for La Liga dominance in 2025, slipping from the top spot in the standings.
Starting the New Year as league leaders, Los Rojiblancos now trail city rivals Real Madrid by two points after Real’s dramatic 2-1 victory against Valencia. However, Atletico holds a crucial game in hand, keeping their title aspirations alive as the season progresses.
Argentinian star Rodrigo De Paul, who scored twice in December and earned Atletico’s Player of the Month honors, is optimistic about the road ahead.
Now in his fourth season with the club, De Paul is yet to secure a major title with Atletico. However, the midfielder remains determined to change that narrative this year. “I dream of winning a long-awaited title at Atletico Madrid,” De Paul told Mundo Deportivo. “We have La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League ahead of us. It’s going to be tough, but the team is ready, and we want to keep moving forward.”
