The Atleti is played in the League and in the Champions League. A losing streak can condemn him in both competitions, despite the fact that he is having an almost brilliant campaign. At least, the numbers indicate this with a leadership that is fading with the passing of the days. Although the latest results are not the ones dreamed of, it should not be forgotten that the sensations are good. The Llorente, Carrasco, Koke, Suárez, Correa and company are at a spectacular level. This incentive means that the mattresses have drawn complex meeting points.
Simeone's men have the difficult duty of reversing the tie against him Chelsea the next March 17. An exciting challenge, just as it was before Liverpool during the previous campaign. This time there is a handicap: the calendar.
No time to breathe
Simeone's they play it before continental competition with tough rivals. First, against Villarreal of Emery that can give the bell. Later, Madrid who already beat them in the first round. Almost without rest they receive Athletic at home and they close the circle with a Madrid derby against Getafe as visitors.
If there is a club capable of doing complicated things that is Atleti and, in the face of adversity, it grows with a very motivating speech from Simeone.
