Athletico Madrid's unbeaten streak of 25 games at home in La Liga has come to an end. The last time they lost a home game in all competitions was back in January 2023, against Barcelona. Once again, Barcelona has managed to defeat them. It's unclear why Athletico seems to struggle against Barcelona specifically. Is it because of the different league and approach? Don't know but being humiliated and brutalized by Barcelona was tough.
So that's the question for all of us, we see Atletico Madrid always having difficulty scoring goals even though they have 13 shots, obviously this is beyond our expectations because Atletico Madrid is playing at home they should be able to provide more accurate attacks but unfortunately not. Sometimes there are some things that cannot be explained in a match usually we call it a lucky factor well maybe in this fight Barcloan is more fortunate and they also have more ability.
Next we will wait for how Atletico Madrid's efforts to regain their place in the Champions League zone certainly very unfortunate if they only play in the European League next season even though this season they were able to reach the quarter final. Atletico Madrid still has the opportunity to collect 3 points or more in the remaining 9 matches but that will be a little disturbing their concentration in the Champions League.
Atletico Madrid still has a chance to be in the top four. That's why it's too early to talk about these. The only team they can pass is Athletic Bilbao. If they surpass them in the rankings, they can play in UCL again. Maybe they will play in the semi-finals for UCL this year, but they should not lose their ranking in the league to be here next year. They must somehow learn to use the offensive zone more powerfully and more effectively.
