Ángel Correa says goodbye to Atlético and leaves for Tigres in Mexico.

It was a strange thing to happen in the last match at the Metropolitano, when Atlético Madrid beat Betis and Ángel Correa said goodbye to his fans on May 18th. Especially when the club reminded the Argentine shortly afterward that he had a valid contract and had received no offers for the player. Perhaps it was a matter of timing, but the truth is that after ten and a half seasons, Atlético de Madrid today confirmed the departure of the Argentine striker.

The destination is what was rumored from the start: the Mexican Tigres, a team that plays in the state of Nuevo León. This continues to strengthen the American league with LaLiga players, as it did with Sergio Canales, Oliver Torres , and Sergio Ramos .

The player ends his time at Atletico with 469 official appearances, the sixth most-capped player in the club's history, and the second most-capped foreigner. During that time, he has scored 88 goals and provided 65 assists, always being a key player for Simeone , but primarily coming off the bench.

His goal at the Vicente Calderón Stadium against Athletic Club and the one that paved the way for victory against Valladolid in the pandemic-era league will forever be remembered. His most recent important goal was the Champions League winner against PSG at the Parc des Princes.

The Argentine won a league title (2020/21), a Europa League title (2017/18), and the European Super Cup (2018). At the national team level, during his time with Atlético de Madrid, he won the Copa América (2021) and the World Cup in Qatar (2022).

The club wanted to "thank Ángel Correa for his dedication and effort over all these years" and wish him "good luck in his future personal and professional endeavors."
