Atletico Madrid signs American midfielder Johnny Cardoso in a 5-year deal

Atletico Madrid continues to boost its squad for next season, signing young American midfielder Johnny Cardoso from Real Betis. The 23-year-old Cardoso arrived on a five-year contract, Atletico said Wednesday. Cardoso was born in the United States but is of Brazilian descent and has an Italian passport, meaning he doesn't occupy a non-European Union slot in Diego Simeone's squad. The holding midfielder played in Brazil until moving to Betis in the 2023-24 season, where he became an important player for Manuel Pellegrini's team. Cardoso made his senior debut for the United States in a match against Wales in 2020. He has 22 caps, winning the CONCACAF Nations League in 2023 and 2024. Cardoso had to withdraw from Mauricio Pochettino's CONCACAF Nations League squad in March due to a muscle injury.

Sorloth scores fastest La Liga hat-trick as Atletico blasts Real Sociedad

Atletico Madrid striker Alexander Sorloth scored four goals in the first half hour and set a record for the fastest hat trick in La Liga history to fuel a 4-0 rout of Real Sociedad. The Norway striker had a hat trick from scoring in the seventh, 10th and 11th minutes to the delight of the fans at Metropolitan Stadium in Madrid. His treble was the fastest ever in La Liga, according to Opta Statistics, which said the previous best was in 1941 of three goals in the first 15 minutes by Edmundo Surez de Trabanco. I just had one of those days the ball just seemed to drop at my feet," Sorloth said. Everything went in and they were good balls from my teammates. Looking back on his first season with Diego Simeone's club, Sorloth said he was satisfied that he was getting more starts after mostly being a substitute for Julin lvarez earlier. My teammates know I am going to be in the box, he said. They dont even have to look, just cross it. Sorloth got going when he volleyed in a cross from P

Mbappe's brace helps Real Madrid edge past Leganes; Atletico falters

Kylin Mbapp scored twice to help Real Madrid outgun a feisty Leganes 3-2 and pull level with Barcelona at the top of La Liga on Saturday, while Atletico Madrid fell further behind in the title race. Mbapp's 33 goals in all competitions since joining Madrid already equals the tally that Cristiano Ronaldo reached in his entire first season for the powerhouse in 2009-10. It is very special, Mbapp said about matching Ronaldo's mark with two months to go in this campaign. We know what he represents for Real Madrid, and he has given me lots of advice. But, as I always say, we have to win titles. The match between the defending champion and a team trying to stave off relegation was billed as an easy three points for Madrid. It was anything but as Leganes showed much more bite than expected at the Santiago Bernabeu. After Mbapp put Madrid ahead from the penalty spot in the 32nd minute, Leganes stunned the home crowd by hitting right back after the restart. Left back Valentin Rosier sprinte

Barcelona beat Atletico 4-2 with two injury-time goals at Metropolitano

Atletico Madrid relinquished a two-goal lead in its 4-2 loss to Barcelona in the Spanish league in another setback for the club after it was eliminated by Real Madrid in the Champions League. Playing at the Metropolitano stadium four days after it lost to Madrid in a penalty shootout, Atletico led Barcelona 2-0 at halftime on Sunday but conceded a pair of stoppage-time goals to waste a chance to overtake the Catalan club for second place and move within a point of league leader Madrid. "It was a weird game, we did well in the first half and had the game under control after scoring twice," Atletico player Marcos Llorente said. "I do think that the 120 minutes that we had to play in the Champions League made a difference, there was a letdown in the end." The defeat left Atletico four points behind its two rivals in the league, with Barcelona having a game in hand. Madrid won 2-1 at Villarreal on Saturday. Lamine Yamal scored two minutes into stoppage time and Ferran Torres six minut

Champions League: Who will Real Madrid or Atletico face in the quarters?

Atletico has to overcome a one-goal deficit to eliminate bitter rival Real in the second leg of the Champions League last 16 tie on Wednesday to maintain a chance of capturing the European trophy it has never won. Its city rival and record 15-time European champion won the first leg 2-1 with a crucial goal from Brahim Diaz to continue dominance of the Madrid derby on Europe's biggest stage.

Conor Gallagher moves from Chelsea to Atletico Madrid for $47 million

England midfielder Conor Gallagher finally completed his move to Atletico Madrid on Wednesday, ending a weeks-long saga when issues arose to jeopardize his departure from Chelsea. Chelsea wanted to sell Gallagher, an academy product and the team's vice-captain last season, to help the club meet the Premier League's financial requirements that are being more strictly applied in recent seasons. Chelsea and Atletico appeared to reach an agreement on his transfer but it was in jeopardy last week, reportedly because of the collapse of a deal that would have seen Atletico striker Samu Omorodion move in the opposite direction. That meant Gallagher had to return to Chelsea and train alone but a solution has since been reached, with Joao Felix reportedly on the verge of making the switch from Atletico to Chelsea on loan to facilitate Gallagher's transfer. Gallagher moves for a reported 36 million pounds ($47 million) on a five-year deal. He played for England at the recent European ...
