Atlético has twice as many goals as last LaLiga. The rojiblanco team had many problems with the goal one year ago and it seems that that year they have solved them. The figure is striking and highlights the great difference between Atlético from the 2019-20 campaign and the current one: the team carries 24 goals in 12 championship games, at an average of two goals per game. Last season, in the first twelve league games, he had scored 12 goals, one goal per game.
Atlético did not score 24 goals in the league championship until matchday 24. Then Atlético drew against Valencia and on February 14 Marcos Llorente and Thomas scored. Now the team has a good run when it comes to scoring.
The top scorer is Luis Suárez, who has scored seven goals in the championship. He is Atlético's top scorer. He has scored them in nine games, since the Uruguayan missed three games. Diego Costa, who played after suffering a severe thrombosis, has scored two goals in LaLiga. Last season, Atlético's top scorer was Morata, who had four goals in twelve games.
The Athletic just stayed without scoring in three games, against Huesca, Villarreal and Real Madrid. In two games he scored a goal, against Barcelona and Valencia, and in the other games he scored two or more goals. In two games there was a thrashing: Granada 6-1 and Cádiz 4-0. The goals make Atlético top of the table. Simeone's team has won nine games, tied two and lost only one.
