April Update:
Inter 3-5 Atleti (EC)
Aguero, Forlan 4
An exhibition for football! Both teams played great attacking football, Diego was deaf in his finishing in front of goal. This puts us in a very strong position for the leg at the Calderon.
Villareal 0-1 Atleti
Traore
A great way result against a team that have quality and are pushing for the Champions League spots, Lacina scored a great header. He looks like a quality fill-in for Diego whilst he serves out his violent conduct two match ban. Keep it up son!
Atleti 0-1 Inter (EC)
We may have lost our unbeaten run but we sat this one out well, we stayed back and didn't allow them to break us down enough to cut back the deficit. Bring on Porto in the semis, it will be a tough game but I think if we put in a strong home performance we could show everyone that we can win the competition!
Atleti 2-0 Tenerife
Aguero, Chucho
The players are jaded from a tight schedule, but we grinded out a result today. Chucho got another goal and his record looks good; four goals and one assist in four and a half games. Kun also popped up with another to get us the three points.
Atleti 2-3 Real
Raul Garcia, Aguero
We were unlucky today, it was a great derby: end to end really, we both created and either team could have won. I have to feel that if Diego was playing we could have won but what's done is done.
Atleti 4-0 Porto (EC)
Aguero, Forlan 3
I wasn't expecting this! I thought it would be a very nervy affair, it was nothing of the sort! We absolutely destroyed them and were very unlucky not to have even more! This almost guarantees our qualification to the final! *touches wood*
Atleti 2-0 Xerez
Forlan 2
Welcome back to La Liga Diego! What a comeback from his injury, he got two and was quite unlucky not to have got at least a hat-trick. We are off to Porto now so, sorry for the briefness of this report.
Porto 2-1 Atleti (EC)
Aguero
We are going to Germany! We chose to attack after dominating the first leg, they hit us on the break twice but we knew a miracle would have to be pulled off after Sergio's early strike. I have to congratulate the lads for getting this far, we have had a very tough 4 games in this competition and have surpassed them all!

He had a great month, scoring five goals and assiting one. A top all around month for Kun. It was a busy run of games but to have players that you can rely through these period is something that I can only congratulate the squad for showing!
