Tomás Roncero hasn't held back in his first appearance on El Chiringuito after what happened in the Atlético-Real Madrid. Euphoric, the popular journalist has been blunt regarding the umpteenth victory in the Champions League derbies... and has sent a message to all the Atlético fans who continue to suffer with these matches.
Tomás Roncero, Euphoric on El Chiringuito
"I understand my Atlético friends, it must be very complicated for decades to pass, for you to count that we've faced each other in six rounds, with six scenarios, six matches... and they haven't won a single one. That we always end up knocking them down on the canvas: playing poorly, disappearing in the first half, missing a penalty. Courtois is karma: you threw stuffed rats, lighters, today he saves them," Tomás Roncero began.
In this regard, he added: "When you're on the right side of history, it's easier to know you won't make a mistake. When the penalty shootout came, they knew it. Only Real Madrid can come and say: 'Let Rüdiger take the fifth one.' There's no curse here, there's a historical demand to know we're going to do it again. Why don't you let the rest be happy? It's not our fault to belong to the greatest shield in the world, the most exemplary."
Finally, Tomás Roncero concluded: "Don't look for excuses, because we saw a penalty in the first half, a forgiven expulsion for Lenglet. Real Madrid, in their worst soccer match, knocked them down on the canvas again: in your face, in your home. What more do we have to do? This seems like the Chinese water torture. Cholismo is a year without Champions, and the same the next."
"Everything Stays the Same"
Moments before appearing on El Chiringuito, shortly after the match between Atlético and Real Madrid ended, Tomás Roncero spoke on his social media. Using his X account, the journalist posted a clear image that already foreshadowed what his speech would be a little later: "The years keep passing and everything stays the same."
Everything is euphoria at Real Madrid which, after being practically on the canvas throughout the match at the Metropolitano, managed to win. It's the same old story: not even in the worst matches can Atlético defeat the best team in the world. In the Champions League, they're already thinking about the next one, which will be challenging, as always.
