0:00The final whistle at the Metropolitano
0:02was still echoing through the stadium
0:04when Cholo Simeone was already planted
0:05at the tunnel entrance.
0:07He didn’t go to the locker room to calm
0:09down.
0:10He didn’t wait for the players to arrive
0:11on their own.
0:13He stood there in that hallway waiting
0:15for one specific person, and when Julián
0:18Álvarez reached him, he stopped him with
0:20a hand to his chest.
0:23What followed lasted less than two
0:25minutes, but it was enough to change
0:27everything Atlético de Madrid has ahead
0:29of them.
0:30Cholo spoke to him about the three
0:32clear-cut chances. Julián replied
0:34regarding the substitutions, and then
0:36came the sentence that left everyone
0:38frozen in that hallway. The sentence
0:40that no one in that locker room had
0:42dared to say to Cholo in over a decade.
0:45You lost this match, not me.
0:48You are completely out of touch.
0:51Tonight, Barça won one to two at the
0:53Metropolitano with a Fermín brace in his
0:56100th match, but the real story wasn't
0:58on the pitch, it was in that tunnel.
1:02And we are going to tell you everything
1:04: what Cholo said, what Julián answered
1:06, the name that came up during the
1:08argument, and the dated ultimatum that
1:11arrived just before the locker room door
1:13closed. Subscribe and turn on the bell
1:15notification.
1:17You won't see this told like this
1:19anywhere else.
1:20To understand what happened in that
1:22tunnel, you have to understand Julián's
1:24night, because Julián Álvarez is not a
1:26striker who misses; he is the type of
1:28player who appears and solves things in
1:30the toughest moments, right? Tonight,
1:33minute 5, alone against Joan García.
1:38He puts that ball in 10 out of 10 times
1:40, he tries to dribble, he stumbles, and
1:42the ball goes away.
1:43Cholo on the touchline turns around with
1:46his arms wide open. Minute 25. Face to
1:48face with the goalkeeper again. A low
1:50left-footed shot.
1:53The ball brushes Joan García's legs and
1:55goes out.
1:56Second chance.
1:58Second time the scoreboard doesn't move
2:00.
2:00Minute 54.
2:03One to one on the scoreboard, another
2:06one-on-one, a chip that goes way over
2:09the crossbar.
2:11Three chances that he never misses.
2:14Three, the Metropolitano started
2:16whistling at him in his own stadium
2:18while wearing his own jersey.
2:22That hurt Cholo more than the missed
2:24goals, because Cholo listens to his
2:26crowd, and when the crowd whistles at
2:28their own striker, he takes note.
2:31But there was something more, something
2:33that had been building up in that locker
2:35room for weeks without anyone saying it
2:36out loud.
2:39In the summer, Julián Álvarez confronted
2:41Athletic with a phrase that still stings
2:43: "The best thing is a transfer, and the
2:45destination I had in mind was only one.
2:47"
2:48Fútbol Club Barcelona. The deal did not
2:51go through. Julián stayed in Madrid, and
2:55ever since, every one of his matches is
2:57scrutinized; every goal is celebrated,
3:00but every mistake is noted in a ledger.
3:03And tonight, that ledger was completely
3:05filled. Before the match, Cholo was
3:07asked about Julián's future. Barça was
3:10lurking again, and his answer was just
3:13this.
3:14I am not in his head.
3:16A coach who always defends his own to
3:18the death was unable to say that his own
3:21striker wanted to stay.
3:23That phrase alone said it all, and
3:26before the match even started, the
3:28Athletic crowd had also sent their own
3:30message: a huge tifo at the end of the
3:33stadium.
3:34Two words in giant letters: "My sweet
3:37condemnation."
3:40A player who wanted to go to Barça, who
3:41stayed against his will, facing the team
3:43he wanted to join that night.
3:46And that night, mistake after mistake,
3:48everything that had been building up for
3:50months exploded at once.
3:52The first half was a huge scare for
3:54Barça. In 10 minutes, Athletic had three
3:58very clear chances.
4:00Julián's one-on-one in the fifth,
4:02Pubill's crossbar in the sixth,
4:03Giuliano's goal in the ninth.
4:07It could have been three goals in 10
4:09minutes, but the first half was also the
4:11story of a team that pressed poorly and
4:13kept their line too high.
4:16Athletic came out with four in the
4:18middle, Barça with only one, and every
4:20time they regained the ball, there was
4:23no way out. Flick saw it, and at
4:25halftime, he brought on De Jong for
4:26Fariñas.
4:28It was the change that changed
4:30everything, but for Atlético, in that
4:32same interval, Cholo made decisions that
4:35Julián would hold against him an hour
4:37later.
4:39And here comes the fact that makes
4:40everything stranger. Barça was Julián's
4:43favorite victim.
4:45Seven goal contributions in 10 matches
4:48against Barça; with Athletic, four goals
4:51and three assists—more than against any
4:54other rival.
4:56Julián always hurt Barça, and just
4:58tonight, against the club he wanted to
5:00join, he misses three one-on-ones he
5:03never misses.
5:05In the red-and-white locker room, one of
5:08the veterans mentioned it quietly
5:10afterward: "He always puts it away
5:12against Barça, and today, of all days,
5:14he forgets how to finish."
5:17No one wanted to add anything else.
5:20Cholo had been on edge all night long.
5:23By the 31st minute, he had already
5:25confronted the referee.
5:28After Julian's chip in the 54th, the
5:30cameras caught him with his back to the
5:32field, hands on his head.
5:35When Fermin scored to make it 1-2, Cholo
5:37stood still on the sideline, not
5:39shouting, not gesturing, staring fixedly
5:42at a point on the pitch.
5:44And that point was Julian. Barça’s
5:47performance in the second half was that
5:49of a big club.
5:50De Jong came on at halftime for Fariñas
5:52and organized the midfield from the very
5:54first minute.
5:56With him, Barça started keeping the ball
5:58, moving it, and breathing. Pedri fought
6:01until the 90th minute as if it were the
6:03first. His third huge game in a row on a
6:05big stage, and Fermin sealed the match
6:08with a brace in his 100th league game—
6:10first with his left just before halftime
6:13, then with his right to complete the
6:15comeback.
6:17Only three Barça players had scored two
6:19goals in their 100th league game in
6:21history.
6:23Kubala, Eladio, and Rivaldo.
6:26As of tonight, there are four, but what
6:27will be remembered from this night isn’t
6:29Fermin’s brace; it’s what happened
6:30afterward.
6:33When the final whistle blew, Cholo
6:35didn't go to the dressing room; he
6:36stayed in the tunnel entrance waiting,
6:38and when Julian reached him, he put his
6:41hand on his chest and let out what he’d
6:43been holding back for 90 minutes.
6:46Three sure goals, Julian. Three.
6:49You never miss those. Where was your
6:52head tonight?
6:54A staff member who was two meters away
6:56summarized it afterward.
6:58Cholo had the face of someone who feels
7:01betrayed. Betrayed.
7:03That is the exact word he used.
7:06Julian didn't look down, he didn't
7:08apologize, he didn't bow his head; he
7:11took the hand off his chest and answered
7:13in the same tone, and what he said
7:15turned everything Atletico thought they
7:18had under control upside down.
7:20In that corridor, with the locker room
7:23door ajar and the noise of the stadium
7:25emptying in the background, the most
7:27expensive forward in the club's history
7:30spoke to his coach like no one had in
7:32years.
7:33And every sentence that came out of his
7:35mouth added another layer to what was
7:37already a crisis.
7:39What Julian said to Cholo in that tunnel
7:41is the most intense thing to come out of
7:43the Metropolitano in years.
7:45And when you hear every sentence, you'll
7:46understand why no one in the
7:48red-and-white dressing room slept well
7:49that night.

7:57consequences for Atlético, for Julián,
8:00and for the January market.
8:02Julián responded to Cholo with a
8:03question, "And why did you take off
8:05Barrios, Koke, and Kang-in Lee and
8:07continue the match like that?"
8:10"You took off those who had the ball,
8:12put in two strikers who came in cold,
8:15and sent me to the midfield.""I don't
8:18know how to play in the midfield, Cholo
8:20, you know that." And according to
8:22Julián, that’s where the match was lost
8:24. And to be fair to the facts, the
8:26numbers prove him right. Minute 59.
8:30Off goes Kang-in Lee, who was Athletic's
8:32best player on the ball. That night
8:33Sorloth came on, and the Metropolitano
8:36booed the substitution.
8:387 minutes later, in the 66th, Fermín
8:41makes it 1-2.
8:43Minute 71, Koke and Baena are out.
8:46Minute 77, Pablo Barrios is out,
8:49Jonathan David enters.
8:52And Llorente ends up playing as a
8:53fullback, plugging gaps that weren't his
8:55, while Barça, with Pedri and De Jong,
8:56takes control of the field.
8:59From the 59th minute until the end,
9:01Athletic was unable to cross the
9:03midfield with danger; no ideas, no ball
9:06progression, without Julián where Julián
9:08can do damage.
9:10And Julián said it just like that,
9:12without a filter. "Barça had Pedri and
9:14De Jong and kept the ball the whole time
9:17.""You choked, Cholo, you choked."
9:20Think about the scene.
9:22The tunnel at the Metropolitano.
9:25Half an hour after losing at home, with
9:28the fans still in the stands, some
9:30leaving with long faces, and the star
9:32striker telling his coach, in front of
9:35teammates and coaching staff, that it
9:37wasn't his fault, that the fault lay
9:40with the bench, that the fault was his.
9:44And then he finished with the phrase
9:47that made the whole hallway go silent. "
9:51You lost this match, not me."
9:54Cholo has been on that bench for over a
9:56decade.
9:58He has won leagues, played in Champions
10:01League finals, has a statue in the
10:03hearts of those fans, and no one,
10:06absolutely no one in that locker room
10:08had dared to say that to his face.
10:12Until tonight, Koke had to step in
10:15between them.
10:17The captain, who had just been
10:19substituted, separating his coach and
10:21his striker in the Metropolitano tunnel
10:24.
10:25He told Julián to lower his tone, that
10:27this wasn't the place, and gestured for
10:30Cholo to head into the locker room.
10:32Neither of them moved for a few seconds
10:34.
10:35Two leaders face to face, the match just
10:38finished and the wound still fresh.
10:40And then, a name appeared that no one
10:42expected to come up in that discussion.
10:45Giuliano Simeone, Cholo's son, had
10:47scored the 1-0 goal in the 9th minute.
10:52He had run for 90 minutes, given his all
10:54on the pitch while the match slipped
10:56away from the team.
10:59And Cholo, before ending the argument,
11:01used him as an example in front of
11:03everyone.
11:04My son gave his life on that pitch for
11:0790 minutes. You just strolled around.
11:09And Julian, according to those in that
11:12hallway, replied with a half-smile, "
11:14Sure, your son plays every game." Four
11:16words.
11:18And a silence you could cut with a knife
11:20fell over that hallway, because that
11:22sentence touches the one thing no one at
11:25Atlético dares say out loud.
11:28Giuliano Simeone heard those four words
11:30from the locker room door. He said
11:33nothing, turned around, and went inside
11:35.
11:37And Cholo, who had held the entire
11:39argument red-faced, suddenly went very
11:41quiet, too quiet.
11:43That was the end of the conversation,
11:45and that was the ultimatum. Cholo
11:47lowered his voice and spoke to Julian
11:49slowly and calmly, which is when Cholo
11:51is at his scariest. He set a date: the
11:54January transfer window. If you want to
11:57go to Barça, let Barça bring the money
11:59to the table, and in the meantime,
12:01either you play like the usual Julian,
12:04or someone else plays.
12:06Said to the face of his top scorer with
12:09the locker room door open, in front of
12:11teammates and coaching staff.
12:13And who is that someone else? Sorloth
12:16and Jonathan David.
12:18The same two Julian had just said didn't
12:20touch a single ball that night.
12:23Cholo was telling him he preferred the
12:25two he had just looked down upon.
12:28More humiliating, impossible.
12:30When Cholo doesn't defend a player in
12:32public, it's because he has already
12:34sentenced them in private.
12:37Stars have left through the back door
12:38when Cholo stopped trusting them.
12:41And it almost always started like this.
12:43After a night like this, Julian left the
12:45Metropolitano without passing through
12:48the mixed zone, headphones on, hood up,
12:50without looking at anyone.
12:52Journalists were waiting to ask him
12:54about the mistakes.
12:56He didn't offer a gesture or a word.
13:00Cholo, on the other hand, did go to the
13:03press conference, and when asked about
13:05Julian, he replied with two dry
13:07sentences about the team and changed the
13:10subject.
13:11At Atlético, everyone knows what that
13:13means.
13:14And here is a detail for the Culés that
13:17we cannot overlook.
13:19The player who asked to come to Barça
13:21has just been singled out by his own
13:23coach in his own home in front of his
13:25own fans.
13:27In the summer, Athletic asked for a
13:28fortune and insisted that Julián was
13:30untouchable.
13:31Tonight, the untouchable ended up
13:33whistled by his fans and signaled out by
13:35Cholo.
13:36The more that relationship deteriorates
13:38, the more the January negotiation
13:40changes.
13:41And the Barça offices already know that
13:43.
13:44The first test comes right after the
13:46break.
13:47If in the next Athletic match Julián
13:49starts on the bench, you'll know why.
13:52Because Cholo does not threaten in vain
13:54.
13:55When he sets a date, he keeps it, and
13:58that date is January.
14:01When the market opens, it will be
14:03decided at Atlético who was right in
14:05that tunnel.
14:07And how Julián leaves that dressing room
14:08in the coming months will say everything
14:10about what is to come.
14:13Meanwhile, Barça heads into the break as
14:15leaders with 33 points, three above
14:17Madrid and five above Atlético.
14:21Two weeks without matches, two weeks
14:23where the only thing moving is that war
14:25at the Metropolitano.
14:28Cholo has his ultimatum on the table.
14:31Julián has his words floating in that
14:33hallway, and January is the appointment
14:35that will resolve everything.
14:38Either Julián performs like his usual
14:40self and Cholo drops the matter, or the
14:42deterioration continues and Barça
14:43appears with money on the table.
14:47One of those two things will happen, and
14:49when it does, you'll hear it here on
14:50Desmarque Total before anyone else.
14:54Tonight, Barça went into the break as
14:55leaders.
14:56Three points above Madrid, five above
14:59Atlético.
15:01But the image that will remain from
15:04tonight is not Fermín's brace; it's
15:06Cholo at the tunnel entrance, his hand
15:09on Julián's chest, and a date marked on
15:11the calendar: January.
15:13Oh.
