Atletico Madrid’s comeback struggles raise concerns
Atletico Madrid Miss Opportunity to Close Gap in La Liga Title Race
Despite a chance to capitalize on a slip-up from La Liga leaders, Atletico Madrid suffered a setback as they fell to Real Betis. The defeat widened the gap to the top to 10 points, leading many to believe that the title race for Los Rojiblancos may be coming to an end.
Struggles Away from Home for Atletico Madrid
Diego Simeone’s side failed to come back from an early goal down against Real Betis. Interestingly, Atletico Madrid have not managed to come from behind to win a game away from home since September 2021, more than three years ago. Their inability to secure victories after going behind has seen them accumulate just four points from draws in 21 instances.
Challenges for Diego Simeone’s Squad
Atletico Madrid’s recent performances highlight their consistent struggles on the pitch. Despite a successful spell in 2023, the team has faced disappointment in the three years following their La Liga triumph in 2021. This season, Atletico has made significant investments in their playing squad, but the results are yet to reflect this financial commitment.
