It has not been the best season Atletico Madrid, who was called to fight to retain the league title, an objective that fell soon, very soon. The rojiblanco team, in a “hard and complicated” course, as he recognized Diego Simeon After the last match played in San Sebastián, he did not find the necessary regularity (neither in the game nor in the results) to have fought for the championship.
The situation became very worrying, Well, at a certain point, the qualification for the Champions League was endangered, that is, finishing in the top four. There was a plot by the squad and the coaching staff after hitting rock bottom with the defeat against Levante at the Metropolitano. A “League of 14 matches”, as Cholo himself baptized it, in which Atlético reacted to not only fulfill the club’s goal, but to get on the LaLiga podium.
The rojiblanco team finished third, a position from which he has never come down with Simeone since the coach sat on the bench from the start of a season. Ten years always among the best three, with two first places, two seconds and six third places. Something historic, because Atlético de Madrid had never presented this trajectory.
