After winning the Spanish championship last season, he is still unable to get back on track. It is true that the Rojiblancos advanced to the next round in the Champions League, and in the LaLiga they remain in the top of the table, but their disposition may leave a lot to be desired.
Atletico did not break the disastrous streak
December is a terrible month for Atletico. The Spanish champions lost 1: 2 to Mallorca, 0: 2 in the Spanish capital’s derby and 1: 2 to. Such a disastrous streak meant that the loss to the leading rival from behind has increased to a dozen or so points.
The hope for breaking the losing streak was to meet with, although her recent results showed that it will not be easy at all. The team led by Robert Moreno has not lost in four rounds, recording two draws (2-2 against Athletic Bilbao and 1-1 against Cadiz), as well as two wins (2-1 against Deportivo Alaves and 4-1 against Mallorca).
Atletico losing more and more to the leader
The match at Nuevo had a great start for the visitors – in the second minute he found his way to the net with a clever shot. A quarter of an hour later it was 1-1, when Darwin Machis showed off with a great shot from a distance. The last word in this game belonged to the hosts, and more precisely to the experienced Jorge Molina, who scored 2: 1 in the 61st minute and determined the result of this match.
For the fourth consecutive defeat, Atletico Madrid remain fifth in the table with 29 points from 18 games. The loss to the leader, Real Madrid, is already 14 points. Granada, on the other hand, advanced to the 12th position with 22 “eyes” on his account.
