Atletico Madrid has to have several consecutive wins to keep stressing the teams at the top and hope for some bad games. 7 points is not the end, but given the current form that Girona and Real Madrid have, it seems like a lot and Atletico Madrid has had one strong streak with 6 wins in a row yet. But they also had some weak games against inferior teams, which they can hardly afford if their claim is to win La Liga.
Atletico Madrid May not be looking at winning the la Liga but then I think they are doing well regardless, there win yesterday regardless of the res card was a big win for them which have given them a seventh win streak in their last seven games but then Girona and Real Madrid are much more better with fewer losses this season
Seven points away from the top is quite much and not such that they will be able to get over in just few matches which they wouldn't be expecting either girona or Real Madrid to be loosing so they will be able to get to the top, Barcelona have a goal difference with them which is definitely keeping atletico ahead of Barcelona ,but the better candidates for the la Liga this season is laying between real Madrid and Girona but then atletico Madrid can be sure to finish amongst the top four on the group
