Simeone, Getafe's nemesis: 31-0 in goals in his favor

With two days to go before the end of LaLiga, Atlético has fulfilled the objective of the season with the classification for the Champions League. Now he only has to face Getafe tomorrow at 9:00 p.m. at the Coliseum and Real Sociedad on Sunday to close this very special championship. Bordalás's men play to qualify for the Europa LeagueBut if we stick to the balance between both teams in recent years, they should not have much hope of scoring points. And it is that, since Simeone's arrival on the mattress bench, the balance between them is 31 goals for and zero against for those of Cholo.

The Argentine coach joined in December 2011 and, since then, Atlético and Getafe have faced LaLiga and Copa del Rey 16 times with 14 Atletico wins and two draws for the azulones as the best result. On the bench of those from the south of Madrid up to five different technicians have passed in this time: Luis García, Cosmin Contra, Pablo Franco, Fran Escribá and José Bordalás. All have experienced the same sensation: facing Atlético is an ordeal, to the point of not knowing what it is to celebrate a goal against them (let's not talk about a victory anymore).

The first duel between both teams with Cholo present was on April 1, 2012 in the disappeared Vicente Calderón on Matchday 31 of the 2011/12 season and the result was 3-0. In addition to being measured in domestic competition, The faces were also seen in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey in the 2012/13 academic year with victory for the rojiblancos in the first leg 3-0 and 0-0 in the return at the Coliseum. The biggest win in the Getafe-Simeone clashes occurred on matchday 14 of the 2013/14 season when the mattress makers endorsed a 7-0 to the team trained at that time by Luis García.

For his part, the current Getafense coach, José Bordalás, has a balance of five defeats in as many games against the mattresses with eight goals conceded and no target to his credit. The last duel ended with a 1-0 athletic victory with a goal from Morata in the first LaLiga game at the Wanda Metropolitano on August 18, 2019.
