Atletico Madrid on the brink of becoming winter champions
Atletico Madrid is on the verge of achieving something it has never done in its 122-year history: becoming the winter champion of the Liga 24-25. If they beat Osasuna this Sunday, the red-and-white team will have achieved their 14th consecutive victory, something that has only happened once before with Simeone as coach.
Although the title of winter champion is not an official title, it is an indicator that the team is in good form and has a chance to win the league. Atletico has shown a high level both at home and away, and has only lost one game in the league this season.
The change of system to a 4-4-2 and the use of a fixed lineup have been some of the key ingredients for the team’s success. Simeone has proven to be a very strong coach and has celebrated being winter champion as a player and as a coach. Now, the team’s goal is to achieve the 14th victory and the title of winter champion.
