Atlético showed again his strength in the Wanda Metropolitano with a golden victory against Real Sociedad in search of the league title. The rojiblanco team is the best venue in the competition, with 45 points added in 18 games played, in the absence of playing next Sunday against Osasuna (14 victories, three draws and one defeat, against Levante, with a balance of 39 goals for and 10 against).
With that 2-1, Simeone's team is already two victories away from being able to lift the league title. And, those three points, They also helped Atlético reach 900 home victories in the First Division. A round and necessary figure in this final sprint with so many candidates for lifting such a coveted trophy. It took 1,382 matches to achieve it, great numbers at home in a team that has been changing stadiums, but has kept the fort playing at home.
The 800 had also arrived with Simeone on the bench … in a year that ended up lifting the league title. On February 15, 2014 Atlético they beat Valladolid 3-0 with goals from Raúl García, Diego Costa and Godín to reach the Vicente Calderón 800 home wins in the League. Now a hundred more have arrived in just seven years, which shows the great work of the team with Cholo on the bench. For the 700 you have to go back to 2005, in a victory also against Real Sociedad on that occasion 1-0 and for the 600 go to 1993 with 2-1 against Oviedo (It must be taken into account that in that period he played for two seasons in the Second Division).
