The story of Rodrigo De Paul
Rodrigo De Paul joined Atlético from Udinese in 2021, a few weeks after winning the Copa América with Argentina. An all-action midfielder, he covered huge distances, pressed relentlessly and could also deliver a decisive pass or a shot from distance.
Engine of the midfield
In four seasons De Paul played more than 130 league games and became one of the leaders of the dressing room. With Argentina he was a key part of the side that won the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and another Copa América in 2024, and at Atlético he brought the same intensity every week.
Legacy
He left in 2025 for Inter Miami. Supporters remember a player who embraced the Atlético spirit from his first day and who never stopped running.
