Atlético have managed to add five points out of nine possible in their first three LaLiga 2020-21 matches. The mattresses they began by overwhelming Granada in the Wanda Metropolitano by winning 6-1. It seemed that this season Simeone's men were going to become a team with a great punch in the offensive zone, which would allow them to fight face to face with Real Madrid and Barcelona for the league title. However, their next two games (against Huesca and Villarreal) ended 0-0, which deflated the illusions of the rojiblancos fans.
Atlético showed problems to reach the rival goal, as shown by the fact that he did not take a shot on goal in the 90 minutes against the Castellón, the fourth time this has occurred in the Simeone era. The rojiblancos returned for their privileges in the offensive issue, but also maintain their hallmark: a defense of full guarantees. Proof of this is that this year they have only conceded one goal in their first three league games (Jorge Molina scored it in the duel against Granada). A fact that It has only been repeated once in the nine seasons that Cholo has started on the mattress bench (in the 2016-17 academic year).
In his first full season at Atlético (2012-13), the rojiblancos LaLiga started drawing (1-1, with goals from El Zhar and Arda Turan) against Levante at the Ciutat de Valencia, winning (4-0, with hat trick from Falcao and the same from Tiago) against Athletic at Vicente Calderón and beating Rayo by the minimum (4-3, with targets from Mario Suárez, Koke, Arda Turan and Falcao, for the rojiblancos, and two from Delibasic and one from Baptistao for the Vallecanos) also at home. So, they conceded four goals in the first three games of the league season.
The next course, the mattresses started it defeating Sevilla at the Sánchez Pizjuán (1-3, with two goals from Costa and another from Cebolla Rodríguez, and Perotti for the locals), beating Rayo at home (5-0, thanks to two goals from Raúl García and the rest from Diego Costa, Arda Turan and Tiago) and defeating Real Sociedad in Anoeta (1-2, with targets from Villa and Koke, and Xavi Prieto for the Basques). Total, they received two goals in that trio of duels.
In the 2014-15, they opened the campaign drawing (0-0) against Rayo in Vallecas, defeating Éibar at Vicente Calderón (2-1, thanks to the goals of Miranda and Mandzukic, while Minero achieved that of the Eibarreses) and defeating the eternal rival, Real Madrid, in his own stadium (1-2, with goals by Tiago and Arda Turan, Cristiano Ronaldo being the author of the merengue target). The balance was two goals conceded in those matches.
The later season started with a win against Las Palmas at home (1-0, with a bit of Griezmann), a victory of merit against Sevilla in the Andalusian city (0-3, thanks to the targets of Koke, Gabi and Jackson Martínez) and yielding to Barcelona at the Calderón (1-2; Torres for the rojiblancos and Neymar and Messi for the azulgranas). So, received two goals again in those three encounters.
In the 2016-17 the best start (matched this season) in terms of goals conceded at the beginning of the season, with only one. On the first day drew against Alavés at home (1-1, with so many by Gameiro and Manu García); in the second They visited Leganés and took a point against the pepineros (0-0). In the third They went to Vigo to face Celta in Balaídos and thrashed him (0-4, with two goals from Griezmann, one from Koke and the other from Correa).
The next campaign It started with three consecutive departures. In the first, in Girona, he added a draw (2-2, with a double by Stuani for the Catalans and Correa and Giménez for those of Simeone). Then, visited the Gran Canaria stadium to play against Las Palmas and took the victory in an overwhelming way (1-5, with Calleri targets for the locals and a double from Koke and one from Correa, Carrasco and Thomas for the visitors). The last of the three departures was to Mestalla and the result was 0-0. Total, received three points in those duels.
The course 2018-19 started it in Mestalla drawing (1-1, with goals from Rodrigo and Correa) against Valencia. The next day received Rayo at the Wanda Metropolitano and defeated him (1-0, Griezmann goal) and, later, went to Balaídos to face Celta and fell (2-0, with targets by Maxi Gómez and Aspas). So, conceded three goals in as many encounters.
The last season, the league competition started at home against Getafe, whom they beat (1-0, with a goal from Morata). Then visited Butarque to face Leganés and won (0-1, with a Vitolo target) and, finally, played for Wanda Metropolitano against Éibar and won (3-2, with João Félix, Vitolo and Thomas tracing the goals of Charles and Arbilla).
