Atlético's penultimate challenge and its strength

Two games left for Atlético de Madrid to complete a year without losing in his stadium, the Wanda Metropolitano. A fiefdom that has become impregnable in recent months and that will now be put to the test in the Champions League, a tournament in which the rojiblanco team is showing something irregular, with four points added out of nine possible.

A lot has happened since Atlético suffered their last loss at home. You have to go back to December 1, 2019 to find it. It was precisely against the last rival that the Metropolitan has stepped on, Barcelona, ​​that they won 0-1 with a goal from Messi in the final stretch of the crash. Plus, that was the only home loss of last season.

Since then, the mattress team has played 19 games in their fiefdom, with 15 wins and four draws. A streak that he must maintain in the next two games to complete a year without losing at home and also to seal his place in the knockout stages of the Champions League.

The first challenge will arrive on Wednesday in front of the Lokomotiv of Moscow, a team that has never won in Spain and has lost both times it has visited Atlético. The meeting is vital for those of Simeone, who must ensure the triumph so that, if all goes according to plan and the Bayern win at Salzburg, to be able to go to the next round with a draw against the Germans, who would arrive with the ticket for the second round in his pocket.

And it is that only six days after receiving Lokomotiv, the current European champion will visit the Metropolitan. Just the day one year has passed since Atlético de Madrid's last home defeat.
