Atlético de Madrid won their eleventh consecutive success in La Liga, beating Getafe (1-0), and confirms their status as title contenders this season.

The crazy series continues for Atlético de Madrid. The Colchoneros won their sixth consecutive success in La Liga this Sunday, the eleventh in all competitions, by winning against Getafe (1-0) at the Metropolitano.

Dominant during this meeting (11 shots to 7, 57% ball possession), Diego Simeone’s men made the difference thanks to the coaching of their coach. It was Alexander Sorloth, who entered at the break, who scored the only goal of the match, with a header, taking a good cross from Nahuel Molina (69th). The Argentinian full-back had also been launched a few minutes earlier by his coach.

Griezmann did not score

Antoine Griezmann, on the other hand, was out at the time of the goal. But the Frenchman, in sparkling form (7 goals in 5 games before this match), greatly contributed to his team’s good run.

Atlético confirms its title contender status by taking two points from Real Madrid (hanging on Saturday on the Rayo Vallecano pitch), and above all by temporarily returning to the level of FC Barcelona, ​​with the same number of matches on the clock. The Blaugranas have dropped 10 points over the last five days, and they no longer have a joker to use before hosting Leganes this Sunday evening.
