Robin Le Normand: After a summer of heavy spending by Atletico Madrid, Diego Simeone’s red and white brigade will begin their 2024/25 La Liga campaign against Villarreal at the Estadio de la Ceramica on Tuesday (IST).

The Madrid outlet finished fourth in the table last season and were eliminated in the Champions League quarter-finals against Borussia Dortmund. They began their transfer window by roping in Euro-winning defender Robin Le Normand before buying two top center forwards - Alexander Sorloth and Julian Alvarez.

Despite the signings, Simeone confirmed that the team is not finalised for this summer and is looking to bring in additions.
