This year’s FIFA Club World Cup is set to kick off on June 14th. The tournament will take place across 12 venues in 11 cities throughout the United States, showcasing some of the most prestigious teams globally, including Atletico Madrid, whose players are eagerly anticipating the event.
Atletico Madrid stars Julian Alvarez and Antoine Griezmann shared their enthusiasm with DAZN ahead of the monumental tournament, expressing their excitement about being a part of this prestigious FIFA event.
“This upcoming World Cup fills me with excitement. We are among the best teams in the world, and to have the opportunity to represent LaLiga in this capacity is truly wonderful,” said Alvarez.
“It’s a chance to bring joy to our fans and supporters as we compete in this incredible tournament. Teams from every corner of the globe, with diverse cultures and styles of football, will come together, and it promises to be a beautiful experience.
“Our goal is clear – to compete fiercely and aim for victory. We understand that this tournament will be tough, but we’re committed to preparing adequately and striving to go as far as possible.
“We’re aware that Atletico Madrid boasts a global fanbase, and we receive tremendous love and support through social media. Being in the United States, we anticipate seeing our fans there, making it an excellent opportunity for everyone to rally behind us.”
Griezmann Looks Forward to PSG Encounter
Griezmann shared Alvarez’s excitement, adding, “What excites me most about this tournament is that it will be the inaugural edition. It’s a source of pride for both me and the club. We’re really eager to get to the United States and kick off our first game against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
“They are currently performing at an exceptional level, but I truly believe we are capable of challenging them. We’ve seen it during our previous match at their home ground, where we clinched a victory at the last moment, and I’m hoping for a fantastic game.
“The atmosphere is likely to be unique and vibrant, reminiscent of a World Cup, with a rich blend of cultures in the stands, which makes it even more exciting to both play and watch. Competing in this tournament is significant for us; it was our goal last year, and we’ve managed to qualify.
“We’re looking forward to delivering a memorable performance. We know many Atletico supporters, whether they’re from Spain or elsewhere, will be there to cheer us on. Our aim is to entertain them and inspire those who aren’t yet fans of Atletico Madrid to join us.
“We dream big, and it’s now up to us to demonstrate on the pitch that we can compete against anyone and that we’re capable of reaching the final.”
