Atleti: Champion's Reaction After the Challenge
A dream day for Atleti! After being eliminated from the Cup, Simeone’s team has shown its grit and ambition, closing the gap with its direct rivals in the fight for La Liga. Barcelona’s draw and Real Madrid’s defeat have been a boost, both in spirit and mathematically, for the Rojiblancos.
Now, Atleti is just three points away from second place, a distance that invites dreams of reaching that position. Although the difference with the lead is still considerable, the advantage of not having European commitments or cup finals could be a key factor in allowing the players to arrive fresher for each match, concentrating all their energy on La Liga.
Let’s remember the feat of the 15-16 season, when Cholo and his pupils managed to come back nine points in just three games. Atleti, despite starting losing at the Sánchez Pizjuán, knew how to turn the score around and add three vital points, taking advantage of the stumbles of their competitors. This team never gives up and always fights to the end! The Rojiblanca fans trust in the team’s ability to continue climbing positions and give battle in every match. Aúpa Atleti!
