Introduction

Match Preview
Atletico Madrid's Pre-Season Journey Atletico Madrid, under the guidance of Diego Simeone, have enjoyed a solid pre-season, showing signs of readiness for the challenges ahead. After a 1-1 draw against Numancia, which they won on penalties, Atletico registered back-to-back victories against Getafe (3-1) and Kitchee (6-1). New signings Robin Le Normand and Alexander Sorloth have integrated well, with Sorloth making an immediate impact by scoring twice on his debut.
Atletico finished fourth in La Liga last season, securing a spot in the Champions League group stage. The summer transfer window has seen them strengthen their squad, with Conor Gallagher and Julian Alvarez expected to join soon. Despite the departure of Alvaro Morata, Atletico looks poised to challenge for higher honors this season.
Juventus Under Thiago Motta Juventus, now managed by Thiago Motta, have had a mixed pre-season. The Old Lady started with a 3-0 defeat to Nurnberg but showed improvement in a 2-2 draw with Brest. Juventus aims to build on their third-place finish in Serie A last season, a campaign where they trailed champions Inter Milan by 23 points.
The club has been active in the transfer market, bringing in Douglas Luiz from Aston Villa, along with Khephren Thuram, Juan Cabal, and Michele Di Gregorio. With several key players leaving the club, Juventus is entering a new era with a refreshed squad.
