Jorge Domínguez, the 16-year-old already scoring for Atlético de Madrid

Jorge Domínguez, the 16-year-old already scoring for Atlético de Madrid Atlético de Madrid faced Manchester City this Sunday in a friendly in Seoul. Simeone’s starting XI featured several new faces, including two academy players in defense: Dani Martínez and Jorge Domínguez. Both are center-backs, the former from Atlético Madrileño and the latter from the Under-19 A team, but they had to fill in as full-backs against Semenyo and Savinho, which was an extremely tough challenge. However, beyond whatever they may have learned during the match, what stood out was Jorge Domínguez’s goal that made it 1-0 for the rojiblancos, pouncing on a loose ball from Hjulmand after a corner. Jorge is one of the best prospects in Atlético de Madrid’s academy. Standing close to two meters tall, he is a threat to opponents both in his own box and in the opposition area. He also has great ball-carrying ability, which allows him to break through opponents’ pressure and link his team up with midfield. It remains to be seen whether next season he will play for Atlético de Madrid C or already be under Fernando Torres at Atlético Madrileño.
