Believe, Atlético! La Liga, A Possible Challenge
Atlético de Madrid, known for their fighting spirit and comeback ability, face an unprecedented challenge: to cut a seven-point deficit in the last eight games to conquer La Liga. Inspired by the nine victories turning the score around so far this season, Simeone’s team dreams of a historic feat.
Although in the locker room caution is preferred and focus on the next game, the reality is that the recent setbacks of their direct rivals have opened a small window of hope.
While the task is arduous and requires almost a full set of victories in the remaining matches, including the duels at the Metropolitano against Rayo, Real Sociedad and Betis, and away against Las Palmas, Alavés, Osasuna and Girona, Atlético has already shown that they are capable of the impossible.
The history of the championship reminds us that Leagues are not always won with stratospheric scores. Real Madrid in 2007, who came back five points against Barcelona in the last games, is an example that faith and good play can work miracles.
In addition, four of Atlético’s best championship endings have been under Simeone, which injects even more optimism into the Rojiblanca fans. Remembering past feats, such as the comeback of nine points in three games in the 2015-16 season, Atlético knows that with faith and work everything is possible. Believe, fans! La Liga is a challenge, but this Atlético never gives up.
