Atlético Madrid aims for fifth consecutive win in Europe
Atlético Madrid is heading to Salzburg with the aim of finishing the job. The red-and-white team has had a difficult path for coach Simeone and his squad. After matchday 3, Atlético was in 27th place in the standings.
However, they now face matchday 8 as the fifth-best team in the tournament, with 15 points and a +5 goal difference. Atlético has scored 12 consecutive points with four consecutive victories in Europe.
If they win in Austria in the last round, Atlético will be third in the best case and sixth in the worst case. The objective is to achieve the fifth consecutive European victory and qualify directly for the round of 16, which would ensure an important reinforcement for the club’s coffers and an institutional boost. Atlético has its sights set on the May 31 final in Munich and every game counts in this busy schedule.
