Atlético Madrid stages historic comeback to qualify for the Champions League round of 16
Atlético Madrid has staged a historic comeback in the Champions League, going from being 10 points behind the leader to qualifying for the round of 16 in fifth place. After a poor start in which they only managed to get 3 out of the first 9 points, the red and white team has managed to get a full 15 points in the last five games.
The comeback has been particularly meritorious considering that Atlético has had to face high-level teams such as Xabi Alonso’s Bayer, PSG, and Salzburg. The qualification for the round of 16 frees up the team’s calendar and is a blessing for the technical team, which will be able to focus on LaLiga and the Copa del Rey. Although the opponent in the round of 16 will be tough, the red and white entity is confident of being able to look any team in the eye, remembering that they have been able to bring down great teams such as Pep’s Bayern, Barça’s MSN, Mou’s Chelsea, or Klopp’s Liverpool.
