Wait, Atletico definitely doesn't look bad, I see the reason for their inconsistent performance in La Liga is that they are completely focused on the Champions League, and they are playing in the quarter finals of the Champions League, so you can see, that this is a great achievement, and besides, I will say that they have a very good chance of beating Dortmund. And about the top 4, I’m sure that Simione remembers and understands the importance of this, and it’s not the end, they still have time and they are able to achieve this goal too.
Even though Atletico Madrid are currently in fifth place, I have no hesitation in saying that they will still finish in the top four at the end of the season. Indeed, currently Atlitco Madrid's performance in Laliga is not as good as in the UCL league, they even managed to get rid of last season's UCL league runner up, namely Inter Milan, and now in the top quarter they will face Dortmund, of course this is their main focus at the moment.
Their chances of getting into the top four are still very wide open because they currently have no more matches against teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona on the sidelines. They will even face Bilbao at home and this is one of their opportunities to overtake Bilboa in fourth place with a difference of only one point. So I believe Atletico Madrid will still fight in the league to stay in the top four, their current performance cannot be said to be bad after what has happened in the UCL league.
Mind blowing but they're having close to nine games in all of La Liga Competition to recover and find themselves into a stable position.
Girona also should know that the table has to do with consistency and discipline, they're dropping form and it has affected how they play, the mentality and also lead to reduction of them points.
Atletico Madrid would definitely bounce back up to a good place, I'm only worried because Atletico Bilbao are also buzzing, they seem serious and would work hard same way I've seen it.
I feel like Barcelona has finally secured them spot on top of the La Liga standing. After all of these bad performance, they're finally doing the right things to get back up.
