How Atletico De Madrid Could Win The League

How Atletico Madrid Could Win The League: In the past weeks, an unexpected force has emerged in the depths of the Spanish league, Atletico Madrid. Sitting pretty at the top of the table, the smaller side of the Spanish capital has risen above rivals Real Madrid and Barcelona. However, how is Diego Simeone masterminding yet another stab at the elusive Spanish title. With the amount of close shaves and chances that Athletico have had at winning important trophies, we feel that this could be their year to win the biggest title in Spain. To look at how they might snatch this prestigious title from under Barcelona’s and Real Madrid’s noses, we must observe one of their most significant attempts at silverware-the Champions League. On a stuffy night at the Bernabeu, thousands of people crowded the historic stadium in a blanket of chants and roars. It was the Champions League final between Atletico and Real Madrid. Athletico struck first with a Carrasco goal to put them up 1-0. This lead lasted until the 94 minute in which Sergio Ramos banged in a header to equalize the scoreline. Atletico capitulated from here on out and lost the final 4-1. Atletico actually won La Liga back in 2013-2014 and were runners up in the Champions League again. In this day in age, Atletico’s old legends are having father time catching up and are failing to make ends meet. However, the rest of Simeone's squad are stepping up. Today, they lost a game to club Leganes. So their lead may fall to La Liga’s giants. They were consistently failing to score against Leganes and lost 1-0. However, if Simeone can keep up a rhythm, we may see a small fragment of the European and Spanish giants seen in their glory days.
