Assists off bench in victory Molina assisted once to go with one chance created in Saturday's 3-2 win over Athletic.

Impact Molina made his presence felt as a substitute, playing a long ball that Alexander Sorloth turned into a stoppage-time goal against the Bilbao side. Despite being in and out of the starting lineup, Molina has made a strong impact this campaign, leading the team's defenders in La Liga direct contributions with four, alongside Marcos Llorente. The Argentinian will look to take minutes off Llorente at right-back as the season heads into its final stretch.

Disaster For Barcelona: Atletico Madrid Win First Leg of Copa del Rey Semifinal 4-0

Option against Mallorca Molina is an option for Sunday's clash against Mallorca after missing the last game due to becoming a father, according to Atleti Stream.

Impact Molina missed the Champions League clash against Galatasaray due to becoming a father earlier in the week but the defender is an option again for Sunday's clash against Mallorca. That said, he will likely regain his bench role moving forward for the Colchoneros since he will only remain the backup option to Marcos Llorente at right-back.

Ruled out Wednesday Molina (personal) is ruled out for Wednesday's clash against Galatasaray.

Impact Molina is unavailable for Wednesday's match against Galatasaray due to personal reasons. Molina operates in a reserve role and is expected to remain on the bench as long as Marcos Llorente is fit.

JANUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Assists against Barcelona Molina assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to Barcelona.

Impact Molina has now made three consecutive league starts, partly due to Marcos Llorente's injury absence, but his attacking upside has been clear. From right back, he has created eight chances and delivered four accurate crosses this season. He produced an excellent through ball that split the Barcelona defense and set up Alex Baena for the finish. Despite Atletico Madrid's current injuries, Molina has shown enough to earn more starts moving forward.

Impact Molina provided value on both ends of the pitch from his role as a right-back, though he earned most of his fantasy upside from defensive stats. Atletico Madrid are expected to bolster their squad in the summer, but they shouldn't target a right-back, so Molina is likely to remain a regular fixture in the lineup for Atletico Madrid in the 2025/26 campaign.

MAY 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Assists off bench again Molina assisted once to go with one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 win against Barcelona.

Impact Molina applied the same formula as in the previous match, coming on as a second-half substitute and assisting Alexander Sorloth from the right flank during stoppage time at Barcelona. The defender was directly involved in a goal for the third time in 12 league appearances, adding to his lone UCL goal for a total of four contributions during the 2024/25 campaign. He'll push for more minutes at the expense of either Marcos Llorente or Giuliano Simeone in upcoming games.

Assists as substitute in win Molina assisted once to go with two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 win versus Getafe.

Impact Molina replaced Marcos Llorente at right-back before sending in a cross which led to Alexander Sorloth's 69th-minute winner during the weekend game. The Argentinian made his first appearance since recovering from a thigh problem he suffered in November. He was in good form prior to that issue, and the assist against Getafe was his third direct contribution in his last four matches played including both league and UCL activity. He's now a natural candidate to regain a starting role on the right flank in upcoming weeks.

DECEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

On bench Molina (thigh) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Sevilla.

Impact Molina is back for the team after missing the last three matches with a thigh injury. He will get the start on the bench, having started 10 of the last 11 games played in all competitions, totaling a goal and an assist with 30 crosses (seven accurate), 19 tackles and 14 clearances in that span.

DECEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers muscular injury Molina has returned from international duty with Argentina with a thigh injury and doesn't have a timetable for his return, his club announced Thursday.

Impact Molina will undergo the recovery process to determine when he'll return to action, but there's no clear timetable for his return. Marcos Llorente (thigh) is also dealing with an injury, meaning either Javi Galan or Samuel Lino could play on the opposite flank due to a lack of depth on right-backs.

Scores in UCL win Molina scored a goal off his lone shot, sent in three inaccurate crosses and made three tackles (one won), one clearance, one interception and one block during Wednesday's 2-1 win...

Impact Molina showed why he's considered one of the best attacking right-backs in the game by scoring his team's first goal after a great team play from the flank that culminated with him appearing unmarked in front of the goalkeeper. Then, he performed amazingly on the defensive end as well, playing his part for his team to withstand some stretches of heavy pressure during the second half. That's now a goal and an assist over the last two starts in all competitions for Molina, who prior to that was zeroed in both categories this season.

NOVEMBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Assists in victory Molina assisted once to go with six crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 2-0 win versus Las Palmas.

Impact Molina led the Atletico Madrid attack Sunday with six crosses (one accurate), delivered three corners and supplied his first assist of the season as Atleti defeated Las Palmas 2-0. In addition to his offensive production, the defender made two tackles (two won), one interception and one clearance in support of the clean sheet effort. Molina has now started five successive matches (all competitions) for Atleti, playing the full 90 minutes on three of those occasions.

NOVEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Busy defensively in draw Molina had one off-target shot and made three tackles (two won), six clearances and one interception during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Real Sociedad.

Impact Molina couldn't provide his usual offensive support from the right as his team was mostly dominated by the opposition so he dedicated himself to hustling defensively with season highs in both tackles and clearances to help Atleti escaping with at least one point. The right-back competes with Marcos Llorente for a starting spot and more defensive performances like this can ease the way for him to become the undisputed first choice.

OCTOBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Whips in five crosses Molina registered one shot (one on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Molina was back in the starting Xi after four matches serving off the bench. He was decent in his 90 minutes of play, registering one shot, two chances created and five crosses. He was also solid in the defense with his two tackles, two interceptions and four clearances.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Confirmed out Molina (thigh) will not be an option for the final match of the season Saturday at Real Sociedad, per Infobae.

Impact Molina had missed the last three matches with a thigh injury and is set to miss the final match of the season as well. This puts him questionable for the upcoming Copa America with Argentina, depending on how quickly the midfielder recovers. He's started 19 times in 30 appearances, recording two goals and three assists while producing 87 crosses (20 accurate), 38 tackles (22 won) and 28 clearances.

MAY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Thigh injury confirmed Molina suffered a thigh injury and will be a doubt for the remainder of the season, Atleti announced.

Impact Molina suffered the injury against Mallorca and is now in doubt for the rest of the season. Barring an incredibly quick turn around the defender is likely done for the year. Molina has made 30 appearances (19 starts) in La Liga, scoring twice and adding three assists.

MAY 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers undisclosed injury Molina had one cross (zero accurate) and one tackle in Saturday's 1-0 win against Mallorca. He was injured and subbed out in the 90th minute.

Impact Molina was already limited Saturday to preserve him for future appearances, but an injury may hinder him for the remainder of his 2023-24 season. If he must sit out indefinitely or even for a bit, Atletico Madrid's team will have to reconfigure its rotation around, likely so that Cesar Azpilicueta can serve as the team's primary defensive option on the right flank.
