They have been really messy lately, only getting a draw against Almeria and losing to Athletic Bilbao in the Copa Del Rey, currently they're 1 goal behind even though time is running out. I don't think we can expect much for their second leg in the UCL, how can they beat Inter if they just play against Cadiz, they can fall behind and haven't even been able to score a goal until now.

However, usually teams like this will get very different results for the matches that will be played in the Champions League later. Because after all, Atletico's position has also lost 1-0 on aggregate and perhaps, Atletico is really preparing for the second leg later. But indeed, losing in this match against Cadiz with a score of 2-0 is completely unacceptable result. Because, for example, if Atletico is preparing for the second leg against Inter, atleast Atletico can still hold Cadiz to a draw. But what happened was that Atletico was really messed up at thismoment, because eventhough Atletico were good in statistics in this match, but Atletico still lost by Cadiz and also with a very embarrassing score like that, because Cadiz was also just a mediocre team that was only in the relegation zone. So yes, with bad results like this, of course there is nothing to expect for Atletico in the next matches.

They still deserve to be in the La Liga title race if they can consistently get full points when facing small teams, but what I saw seemed unreal, it was a shame to lose to a team like Cadiz. If they manage to get 3 points against Cadiz, at least it will reduce their gap with Barcelona and Giron and even have the opportunity to get rid of Real Madrid. What other motivation should they have when playing in the UCL later? with Cadiz alone they can't even get 1 point, where's our old Atletico Madrid who was the European team with the strongest defense?
