Atleti: 15 Finals for Glory
Atlético de Madrid faces the last 15 rounds of La Liga as if they were finals, with the aim of competing for the title against Real Madrid and Barcelona. After a quiet week, with qualification for the Champions League round of 16 already secured, the team is focused on the domestic competition.
Recent performance, with only five of the last 12 possible points, requires a return to the winning path. The team, with a record of 15 consecutive victories in all competitions, must recover its best version. The match against Celta presents itself as a crucial opportunity.
The Metropolitano becomes a fortress, where Atleti has added 30 out of 36 possible points, contrasting with Celta’s poor performance as a visitor. Celta hasn’t won at Atleti’s home since 2007.
The Atleti coach seems to have a clear lineup, with Le Normand and Giménez in defence, and a typical eleven that will seek victory. The solidity at home and the need to add three points make this match a real final for the ‘colchoneros’.
