Atlético dreams of Champions League and more
Atlético de Madrid remains alive in the LaLiga fight after an important victory against Sevilla. Although the leadership seems complicated, Simeone’s team doesn’t give up on anything and trusts in a calendar that, although demanding, could give them options.
The hard-fought victory at the Sánchez Pizjuán brings the team closer to second place, currently held by Real Madrid. With the league red-hot, Barcelona leads with 67 points, followed by Real Madrid (63) and an Atlético (60) that doesn’t surrender.
Opta’s ‘supercomputer’ has analyzed Atlético’s possibilities: the chances of winning the title are few (2.4%), but qualifying for the Champions League is virtually assured (99.9%). Projections indicate that the most likely outcome is that the Rojiblancos will finish third, with a 69.9% chance.
However, second place is not a chimera, with a 25.5% chance. The calendar presents important challenges, but Atlético trusts in its claw and the support of its fans at the Metropolitano to climb positions and fight to the end. The season promises a heart-stopping finish, with decisive matches that will test the strength and ambition of the Colchonero team. Aúpa Atleti!
