  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    Gallagher joined Atletico Madrid last summer on deadline after he was told by the Chelsea's new boss Enzo Maresca that his services were no longer needed at Stamford Bridge. The English midfielder has been enjoying life under Diego Simeone, and he brought up his third La Liga goal for the Rojiblancos with a beautifully placed glancing header during their 3-0 win against Rayo Vallecano.

    WHAT NEXT FOR GALLAGHER?

    Despite having a good season, Atletico Madrid are headed towards yet another trophyless season as they were knocked out of the Copa del Rey by Barcelona, out of the Champions League in controversial circumstances by Real Madrid and are 10 points off the La Liga title lead from the Catalan side. However, Gallagher will stay put at the club this summer as the Rojiblancos look to gain silverware yet again.
