It will be Atlético de Madrid's first time against Feyenoord

On Sunday August 8, Simeone's set will be measured at Feyenoord in the last preseason game before starting LaLiga on Sunday, August 15. The match will be played in Rotterdam (Netherlands), at the De Kuip stadium, at five pm and can be seen live at GOAL TV.

The meeting will be special, because never in history had they faced each other neither in official nor friendly match. This is somewhat surprising, as Feyenoord is one of the most legendary teams in Europe and the most popular in the Netherlands, although in titles the Ajax of Amsterdam surpasses him. The only ones Dutch that Atlético have faced are the PSV Y Ajax, both on 6 occasions; and the Groningen in 4.

Among his footballing milestones, stands out the fact that never having descended of the Eredivise. In 1970 won the European cup Celtic from Glasgow, and was proclaimed world champion that same year by winning the Intercontinental Cup by beating Estudiantes de La Plata. The Roterdam team has in their showcases two UEFA Cups (1974 and 2002), 15 First Division titles, 13 Netherlands Cups and 4 Netherlands Super Cups.

Nowadays, not having a good timeBut Feyenoord were the last Dutch team to win a European title, the 2002 UEFA Cup against Borussia Dortmund in their own stadium. its last big title It was the league in 2017, which was the tenth Eredivise in history.

The Dutch team, led by Arne Slot, finished the last campaign in fifth position. During this preseason he is contesting the Conference League qualifiers. Their last match was the first leg of the third qualifying round against Swiss Luzern, with Feyenoord winning 3-0, putting the tie quite on track.

For Atlético de Madrid it will be a very demanding showdown. The Rotterdam team has been very busy from the qualifying stages of the Conference League and Simeone arrives with most of the headlines with hardly any minutes or days of training on his legs. But this level is what the rojiblanco team needs to arrive as best as possible at the start of LaLiga against Celta de Vigo on August 15.
