Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid had become famed for a tough, resilient defence, a traditional 4-4-2 formation, and a mastery of the dark arts. Now, however, whilst the dark arts may still remain, this 2026 version of Atleti are attacking, adventurous and really quite exciting.
This is how Atletico Madrid have completely changed.
