The numbers smile at Cholo against Real Sociedad

No credit. That first. Atlético does not trust any of the three rivals that come before it and that they will be the last three rivals in this League. Real Sociedad, Osasuna and Valladolid. If he wins all three, he will be champion. It will be without having to look at what Madrid or Barcelona are doing, because the rojiblanco team is the only one that depends on itself to proclaim itself the winner of the competition. And the most difficult test will be the first, this Wednesday, against Real. Although the numbers in this case smile at Cholo.

The first: that the match will be at the Wanda Metropolitano. And not only because Atlético is the best local team in this League, with only one defeat, against Levante., one of his stones in the shoe always, season by season, but also because if Simeone has faced the txuri-urdin in 19 games, four of his five defeats against the Basques were in Anoeta. At home, Simeone only fell once, and it was eight years ago: on matchday 27 of the 2012-13 season, 0-1. Of the nine games in the rojiblanco fiefdom, Atlético won six, lost that one and tied two, the first (2011-12, 1-1) and the last (2019-20, 1-1), which must be looked at with an asterisk: it happened on the last day of last LaLiga, in which the rojiblancos were already classified for their objective, the positions that give access to the Champions League, and it was Real who needed at least one point to qualify for the Europa League.

La Real is the most complicated rival, a priori, that the rojiblancos have ahead of them. With the numbers in hand, then that, numbers are, but they contain a trend: 19 games, 12 wins, two draws and five losses (2012-13 at Calderón and 2014-15, 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2019-20, all at Anoeta). Valladolid and Osasuna are his next rivals, against Valladolid, Simeone has not lost (only one draw in 2019-20) and Osasuna, ten games and only one defeat. But, be careful, it was in a season with a similar tint to this one (2013-14), when Atlético was proclaimed League champion. And always in memory El Centenariazo.
