Impact Paulista was making his first appearance since a March 9 loss against Cadiz, and he will be forced to sit out the final match of the campaign due to this suspension. Atletico Madrid often rotated the defensive line, but Paulista was able to start in his five appearances with Atletico at the league level after signing from Valencia during the January transfer window. Paulista should be in line for a bigger role in 2024/25, especially if players such as Mario Hermoso and Jose Maria Gimenez end up leaving the club in the summer.
