Atletico Madrid rose to the highest score in Spain’s La Liga by adding to the rise.
Atletico Madrid, which played the 18th round of Spain’s La Liga 2024-2025 at Riyadh Air Metropolitano in Madrid, Spain, won 1-0 over Getafe on the 16th (Korea time).
Despite meeting a lower-ranked team at home, Atletico’s victory was not easy. Starting strikers Antoine Griezmann and Julián Álvarez both failed to score. Instead, Alexander Seurlott, who was added at half-time, scored the opening goal in the 24th minute of the second half to lead the victory.
On the same day, Barcelona suffered an unexpected defeat at home against Legañez. The match was held at the Luis Companis in the Estati Olympics, Barcelona’s home stadium, but ended the match scoreless, reducing Robert Lewandowski’s decision-making difficulty, who missed six of them despite shooting 20 times. Legañez defended a goal scored by Sergio González in the fourth minute of the first half.
Barcelona, which was evaluated as the strongest in Europe in the early days of this season, has seen its recent trend slow down. It has displayed sluggish performance with one win, two draws and three losses in its recent six matches. As it has had consecutive wins in the early stages, it still has 12 wins, two draws and four losses, and 38 points, displaying good performance. However, its lead is over.
As Atletico has won six league games in recent months, they have narrowed the gap between them and Barcelona by 13 points in this period alone. With 11 wins, five draws and one loss, they now have 38 points, the same as Barcelona. As Atletico has played one less game, it is virtually the same as leading the league.
Griezmann’s first chance to win the league is approaching. Griezmann has won trophies in a variety of competitions, including the 바카라사이트 2018 Russia World Cup title for the French national team. However, he has never won a regular league title in professional leagues. He moved to Real Sociedad, Atletico, and Barcelona, and then returned to Atletico, and has played in Spain since his debut as a pro player since 2009. However, he failed to win the title due to bad luck, as he avoided playing between the two teams only when Atletico and Barcelona won the La Liga title.
