🚨 BREAKING: Matteo Ruggeri's Atlético de Madrid shirt number revealed
Atlético de Madrid have confirmed that new signing Matteo Ruggeri will wear the number 3 shirt for the 2025/26 season, as the Italian defender begins his career at the Civitas Metropolitano. Ruggeri, who joined Atlético from Atalanta earlier this summer, spoke of his pride and excitement at becoming part of Diego Simeone's squad. The 23-year-old full-back is considered one of Italy's most promising young talents and arrives in the Spanish capital ready to make his mark. 'Joining this club is a dream because it's one of the best in the world,' Ruggeri said. 'I'm looking forward to starting my journey here and trying to win, for example, LaLiga.' The Italy international also expressed his admiration for Atlético manager Diego Simeone, citing the Argentine's influence as a key factor in his decision to move. 'For me, it's an honour to have a coach like Simeone; he impressed me from the very beginning,' Ruggeri added. 'I love his way of coaching and his style. When I realised I had the chance to join this magnificent club, I was thrilled to become part of such a great team.' The number 3 shirt at Atlético has previously been worn by iconic figures such as Filipe Luís, and Ruggeri will be hoping to emulate the success of those who came before him in the red and white stripes. With Ruggeri's arrival and shirt number now official, Atlético supporters will be eager to see the Italian in action as the club continues its preparations for the new campaign. 📸 Marco Luzzani - 2025 Getty Images

Official: Two Real Madrid stars handed new jersey numbers
Two members of the first-team ranks at La Liga heavyweights Real Madrid have this week been afforded new squad numbers. First up, as expected, comes Kylian Mbappé. Following weeks of speculation surrounding Real Madrid's iconic no.10 following the departure of Luka Modrić, frontman Mbappé has officially taken over ownership of the shirt. A year on from his free agent arrival from Paris Saint-Germain, the Frenchman has seen his importance aptly recognised: As alluded to above, though, Mbappé is not the only member of Xabi Alonso's squad set to take to the pitch this coming season donning a new number. So too will teammate Raúl Asencio. Defender Asencio earlier this week saw his status as a first-team player in Spain's capital confirmed. This of course comes after a breakout campaign for the 22-year-old in 2024/25. And days on, Asencio's squad number, too, has been unveiled. As confirmed on Real Madrid's official website, the Spaniard will take to the pitch with the no.17 across his back this coming season. Conor Laird – GSFN
