The 29th match that Atletico Madrid played did not go smoothly, sharing points with Espanyol is a loss because it will leave a gap between positions 1 and 2 if Madrid wins today match, automatically Atletico Madrid has retreated a little from the title hunt this season. They are now 6 points behind Barcelona and 3 points behind Real Madrid. Let's see if the real Madrid will have an unlucky day too or they will get a win at home.
Atletico madrid shouldn't be dropping points at this very crucial moment of the season. They've done a really great job this season, but just couldn't keep up with the momentum for long. I expected them to have won this game, and close the gap in that top 3, but they've let the opportunity slip from their own hands. It is better to win your games, than to draw or lose, and start hoping that another team doesn't get more points. 9 more games to go after the other top two rap's up the this game week. Anything can still happen, but Atletico needs to put in more effort.
The mentality and confidence of Atletico Madrid players have been destroyed so I am not surprised by the bad results they have achieved again and indeed for the competition for the La Liga title this season is over for Atletico Madrid it all started when they lost points in the continuation of the La Liga match and were eliminated from the Champion League so that their mentality decreased and continued until now.
And now for the competition for the La Liga title only Barcelona and Real Madrid are left, Atletico Madrid are no longer capable and indeed in terms of quality and consistency Atletico Madrid are not as good as Real Madrid and Barcelona.
