Atlético: The Unyielding Spirit of the Simeone Era
Atlético de Madrid has demonstrated unwavering faith this season, establishing itself as a team of epic comebacks under Simeone’s leadership. The motto ’never stop believing’ resonates strongly in every match, driving the team to fight until the end.
The data doesn’t lie: this is the season with the most comebacks in the last 15 years, even surpassing the campaigns in which the club won the LaLiga title. In LaLiga, Atleti has turned around crucial matches such as the vibrant 4-3 against Sevilla at the Metropolitano and the 1-2 at the Sánchez Pizjuán.
They also managed to come back against Leganés (3-1), Deportivo Alavés (2-1) and FC Barcelona (1-2) in Montjuïc. The 4-2 victory against Valladolid is just the latest example of this winning mentality.
In the Champions League, the team also showed its grit, coming back against Leipzig (2-1), PSG (1-2) and Bayer Leverkusen (2-1). Even in the Copa del Rey, Atleti demonstrated its ability to react by defeating Cacereño (1-3) after falling behind.
With ten comebacks in total, Atlético has added a total of 24 points between LaLiga and Champions thanks to its fighting spirit. This ability to overcome adversity shows that Simeone’s Atleti remains a formidable team capable of great feats.
