Each one at home, bound by Filomena, Atlético's footballers were aware of Barça's matches and, especially, Real Madrid. The rojiblancos were left without playing and even so, after seeing the matches of all their pursuers, they remain leaders. The accounts are very positive, because is first with three games less. With those nine points, Simeone's team would skyrocket … but nobody wants to do the milkmaid's accounts. In public and in private, They are numbers that nobody has. Match by match. First, Seville.
The visit of the Hispanics to the Wanda Metropolitano (Tuesday, 9:30 PM) It is one of those pending games, the one on matchday 1. If Atlético wins, by the way, they will make sure to be winter champion, something that he did not achieve even in 2013-14, when he took his last league title. The first round of the colchoneros is almost flawless and has challenges ahead to finish it with a note: after those of Lopetegui, the Eibar (Thursday 21, matchday 19) and they would be missing I raised (in the Ciutat, February 16, day 2) and Athletic, postponed this Saturday and still no date, perhaps for March 10. On that day, the First classification will finally be balanced (except for further postponements).

When to Simeone or some of your footballers have been asked about these three extra balls, they have not left the plan: “Match by match”. The locker room is suspicious of those who give those matches won and much more than those who consider it an insurmountable advantage. But nobody hides that it is a very interesting plus point, even more so because the second round is going to be tougher, the line that separates the victory from the tie is sometimes very fine (as against Alavés), and because they distrust the accelerations that Madrid and Barça can give, as they are already doing. The calendar is going to demand a lot and four and a half hectic months are coming … Without looking beyond Seville, the numbers wink at Atleti.
