The fans are summoned to cheer on Atleti against Real

Atlético plays LaLiga in three appointments and Wanda Metropolitano can be fundamental. Two of those three games will be played at home, the two to come, against Real Sociedad tonight (10pm) and against Osasuna (Sunday, 6.30pm). A Metropolitan Wanda without an audience. Or not. Because it is true that spectators are still not allowed into Primera's LaLiga matches, but the Atlético fans want the Cholo team to feel their voices encouraging. That is why they have launched a call for social networks for this afternoon-night.

An initiative that, first, they insist, must respect the pertinent sanitary measures so that it does not become the focus of a COVID outbreak, mask, distance, which will bring together those fans who wish to join in the vicinity of the stadium before the game. The appointment is at 9:30 p.m. in the parking lot of the giant flag at the foot of the rojiblanco field. The intention, that the fans cheer during the 90 minutes that the match lasts so that, through the gaps of La Gradona, still in the air, they sneak onto the grass and push their legs when their bodies don't give any more.

There are concentrations of rojiblancos fans who won matches. He passed against Liverpool, in the first leg of the round of 16 of 2019-20, before COVID changed football and life forever. Simeone himself has recognized it on more than one occasion. “We started to win the match at the roundabout”. A roundabout that was filled with fans cheering for the arrival of the team under the red smoke of flares that pushed the legs of the footballers before they got off the bus. That game was won with a goal by Saúl, as soon as the match began. That is what is sought tonight.
