Atletico Madrid has a chance to move up to third in the table. But their performance is very erratic. Atletico Madrid has managed to win only one of their last 5 matches. They lost two matches and drew two. And so if they want to occupy the third place in the table, Atlético Madrid's performance must be more stable.
Atlético really escaped my attention, after losing the first leg of the Champions League to Leverkusen followed by defeat to the Madrid Derby. their performance has become unstable, especially in the Champions League. at the start of the new season, Simeone's troops were required to compete with Barcelona and Real Madrid in La Liga.
also demanded to always look impressive in Europe, but Atletico just faded. underperforming at European level, generally there will be hope in domestic competition. but the negative trend of Atletico Madrid also spread to the domestic league. let alone being a competitor to Barcelona and Real Madrid, to be more competitive, Atletico really struggled.
Even so, Diego Simeone's troops still have the chance to seize the position occupied by Real Sociedad. the difference in points between 3rd place La Liga and Atletico Madrid is only 2 points adrift. Diego Simeone, has a lot of work to improve the performance of his troops. they can focus more on La Liga competition, after failing in European competition. In our opinion, they still have a big chance of finishing in the top four until this season ends.
