Atlético de Madrid on the verge of breaking a historic record
Atlético de Madrid is on the verge of breaking a historic record of consecutive home wins. Simeone’s team has won 19 consecutive games at the Metropolitano, with only Getafe being able to spoil the party in the past.
The next match will be against Getafe on December 19, a game that will be completely determined by the second yellow card received by Savic in the 38th minute in the last encounter between the two teams.
Atlético will have to play more than 52 minutes with one less player, which prevented them from achieving the 21st consecutive win at home. Although they had it in hand, with goals from Griezmann, Morata and again Griezmann, the Colchoneros could not maintain the lead and the match ended in a 3-3 draw. Atlético will seek to overcome Getafe de Bordalás and then Barcelona, a Blaugrana stronghold where Atlético has not won since February 5, 2006.
