The Metropolitan is a very complicated field, but Atlético left more points than expected in its stadium this season when the two days of the second round of the Liga have been played. The colchoneros added fifteen home units and left more to become the thirteenth home team.
Villarreal (0-2), Real Madrid (1-2) and Barça (0-1) have already secured wins, while Rayo Vallecano, Espanyol and Getafe have secured draws, all three by 1-1. Simeone’s team beat Celta (4-1), Girona (2-1), Elche (2-0) and Valladolid (3-0).
The colchoneros have a better balance at home, with 23 points out of 33 possible. That strength in their journey – they won at San Mamés on the ninth day, 0-1, with a goal from griezmann after a very serious match- allowed them to be fourth in the table, four points away from Real Sociedad.
Those led by Cholo Simeone they are recovering from the break for the World Cup in Qatar, a period in which they have added four victories, two draws and only one loss, against Barça.
In addition, the League is only in their hands after being eliminated from the Champions League -they were last in group B behind Porto, Bruges and Leverkusen- and from the Cup by Real Madrid in the quarterfinals (3-1 at Santiago Bernabéu) .
