Atlético Seeks to Rediscover Its Best Form
Atlético de Madrid kicked off 2025 with a historic streak of 15 consecutive victories, an impressive feat that catapulted them to the top of LaLiga. This spectacular start included wins over teams like Elche, Osasuna, Barcelona, and Sevilla, adding up to eight league victories that seemed to consolidate their dominance.
However, the defeat against Leganés marked an unexpected turning point. Since then, the team’s performance has fluctuated, obtaining only 13 out of 30 possible points, a notable contrast to the previous full house.
This inconsistency has caused Atlético to drop to third place, moving away from the top of the table and feeling the pressure from Athletic Club. In these last ten matches, the team has drawn against Villarreal, Real Madrid, Celta, and Espanyol, all with a score of 1-1, in addition to suffering defeats against Getafe and Barcelona.
Despite these setbacks, victories against Mallorca, Valencia, and Athletic have kept the team afloat. The demands of a tight schedule, with important commitments in the Champions League against Real Madrid and in the Copa del Rey against Barcelona, have affected the team’s performance. Atlético needs to recover the solidity and competitive spirit that characterized them at the beginning of the year to get back on the winning track and fight for their objectives.
