Hi community!
After the 12th matchday, the Blaugrana team was ten points ahead of Atlético and in the 18th, Atlético are three points ahead with one game less.
On October 27, Atlético de Madrid fell at the Benito Villamarín against Betis in a horrible match for the colchoneros. In turn, Barcelona beat Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu to deal a blow to LaLiga, leading the whites by six points and the colchoneros by ten, who after that day met to analyze the causes of that situation.
Players and coaching staff took that match in Seville as a turning point. All that was left was to improve. And with some doubt, because days later they suffered to eliminate Vic, a team from the sixth tier of Spanish football from the Copa del Rey, Atlético grew. It was the first of the 12 consecutive victories that the red-and-white team now has, seven of them in LaLiga, which will allow them to end 2024 as leaders of the First Division.
Yes, you read that right. Less than two months ago, Barcelona was ten points ahead of Atlético. It was matchday 11. In matchday 12, that gap was maintained. And in matchday 18, Diego Simeone's men are first with a three-point advantage over Hansi Flick's team, who also have one more game.
Since that October 27th when the colchoneros fell at Villamarín, they have won, consecutively, against Las Palmas, Mallorca, Alavés, Valladolid, Sevilla, Getafe and Barcelona.
For their part, the Catalans defeated Espanyol in the derby to maintain that ten-point lead over Atlético but then fell at Anoeta. After the break, they drew at Balaídos with Celta and then fell to Las Palmas at Montjuïc. After matchday 15, the red-and-whites were already only two points behind the leader.
See You soon! 🏐
