Atleti: Two Sides and Challenges Away From Home

Atlético de Madrid shows a remarkable disparity between their performance at the Metropolitano and their performance away from home. At home, the team proves to be a fearsome rival, adding important victories and points, even surpassing the League champion in home scoring.

However, away from home, the situation changes drastically. The numbers reflect this reality: while at the Metropolitano the team has reaped 46 points out of a possible 57, away from their stadium it has struggled to maintain the same level.

Of the last nine away matches, they have only managed two victories. This inconsistency has generated frustration in the locker room, where a solution to this dichotomy has yet to be found.

The coach himself, Simeone, has expressed concern about the team’s performance away from home, assuming responsibility for not finding the right motivation. Captain Koke has also acknowledged the difficulty of explaining these defeats.

The team seems to attack and compete with less intensity when playing as a visitor, which translates into disappointing results, even against teams fighting for permanence. Looking ahead, goalkeeper Oblak has been clear in stating that Atlético de Madrid cannot afford another season with such poor performance away from home. The team must find a way to transfer the strength they show at the Metropolitano to their away games in order to aspire to greater goals.
