Five difficult games to boost Atlético de Madrid

The Champions League blow against Bayern (4-0) they set off the alarms at Atleti. Not only because of the poor result and the feelings, but also because of the tough schedule that awaits them before the break. A break in which, by the way, as soon as you return, you will face Barcelona. Simeone's pupils will have to reinvent themselves and forget about a night to forget by winning Betis de Pellegrini (this Saturday), having the opportunity to take off the Champions League thorn against Salzburg (October 27), visiting Pamplona (October 31), traveling to play against Lokomotiv (November 3) and, finally, putting the icing on the cake against Cádiz (November 8).

The ghosts of Munich may mark a turning point in the red-and-white parish. The final score was very bulky and equaled the biggest win conceded by Atlético since Simeone's arrival on his bench in the 2011-12 season. Drawing from the background: only on another occasion in these almost nine years have Cholo's pupils received four goals in an official match and, curiously, It was also in the Champions League and against a German team.

The mattress entity is eighth in the classification table with four games played and a total of 8 points … Mathematics affirms that if it won those games it would be the leader, exceeding 11 points for Real Sociedad in its six games played. But before making numbers, the first objective for Simeone is to beat a Betis that maintains its good feelings that the former Madrid coach, Manuel Pellegrini, would arrive.
