Top 5: Atletico Madrid’s best players of the 2023/2024 season
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Atletico Madrid enjoyed a promising start to the 2023/2024 La Liga campaign, winning eight of their opening ten games. However, a dip in form along the course of the season saw them drop too many points and fall off the pace atop the La Liga standings.

Diego Simeone’s Atleti finished fourth behind Girona, Barcelona and Real Madrid to secure Champions League qualification for next season. They were eliminated in the semifinals of the Copa del Rey by Athletic Bilbao before getting knocked out of the Champions League in the quarterfinals by Borussia Dortmund.

Soccernet.football has ranked the best players from Atletico Madrid’s disappointing campaign.

5. Rodrigo De Paul

The World Cup winner was one of Diego Simeone’s most reliable players in midfield this season, providing solidity for Atleti in the middle of the park and making vital contributions in the final third.

De Paul featured heavily for Los Colchoneros this season, comfortably occupying a central/attacking midfield role and even playing further forward on some occasions.

The Argentina international contributed 3 goals and 5 assists across 34 La Liga appearances for Atletico Madrid this season.

4. Ángel Correa

The 29-year-old has been a loyal servant and he was Los Colchoneros’ impact player this season, coming off the bench eighteen times to help Simeone’s side grind out results in difficult games.

The 2023/2024 campaign was a difficult one for Atleti but more so for Correa who saw his role reduced this season. However, the World Cup winner still proved himself to be a valuable asset for the team.

Correa scored 9 goals and provided 2 assists across 32 La Liga appearances for Atletico Madrid this season.

3. Samuel Lino

The 24-year-old Brazilian who rejoined Atletico Madrid last summer after a successful loan spell with Valencia established himself as a crucial part of Diego Simeone’s setup throughout the season.

Lino impressed for Los Colchoneros in what was a largely underwhelming season for the club, featuring in different positions including FW, LW and LWB and performing at a very high level no matter where he played.

Lino racked up 34 appearances for Atletico in La Liga, scoring four times and providing 5 assists.

2. Alvaro Morata

The Spanish forward was in fine form in front of goal during the first half of the 2023/2024 campaign. However, he struggled to replicate that form at the turn of the year, managing just two goals between February and May.

Despite his struggles, Morata was one of Los Colchoneros’ major sources of goals in La Liga with 18 goal involvements across 32 appearances this season.

The 30-year-old Spain number nine formed a vital understanding upfront with Antoine Griezmann, a combination that proved lethal for opposition back lines.

1. Antoine Griezmann

Atletico Madrid’s all-time top scorer was no doubt their most important player and standout performer of the 2023/2024 season with his experience and sheer quality carrying Simeone’s side over the course of the season.

Griezmann was Los Colchoneros’ chief creator as well as goal machine this season, combining well with Morata upfront to cause problems for the opposition and exploit defensive frailties.

The Frenchman notched 16 goals and provided 6 assists across 33 La Liga appearances for Atleti this season.
