Thu Oct 31 19:23:29 UTC 2024: ## Atlético Madrid Favored in Spanish Supercup First Round
Atlético Madrid will face a comparatively easy opponent in the first round of the Spanish Supercup, facing sixth-tier side Unio Esportiva Vic. This match is particularly favorable for Atlético, as their opponents, from the regional Liga Elit, are unlikely to pose a significant threat. The reigning champions, Athletic Bilbao, and fellow Supercup participants Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, and Mallorca, are exempt from the first two rounds, making Atlético the highest-ranked team in this opening stage.
Diego Simeone’s team will be looking to avenge their 4-0 aggregate loss to Athletic Bilbao in last year’s semi-finals. The presence of strong players like Alexander Sørloth and Conor Gallagher in the Atlético ranks further bolsters their chances against the Catalan outfit. The upcoming match promises to be an early opportunity for Atlético to make a strong statement in the Supercup competition.
