The championship days follow each other and look alike for Atlético de Madrid. With a single victory on the clock, Diego Simeone's men also conceded a defeat and now three draws. This Sunday, they indeed shared the points once again, this time on the Mallorca field (1-1, 5th day). They remain stuck in the middle of the table, in twelfth place.
After having won during their last exit in Liga (2-0 victory against Villarreal), the Colchoneros hoped to be able to continue in front of the penultimate who only counted on the clock. But the Madrid machine quickly showed a few failures, as on this penalty failed by Julian Alvarez in the quarter of an hour (14th).
Null and virgin score on the break and even scenario at the time of playing. Antoine Griezmann, Alexander Sorho and Nahuel Molina then came into play but nothing has changed. Worse, Sorho was expelled ten minutes after its appearance on the lawn following an ugly gesture (73rd). At nineteen-on-on, Atlético will then wake up and open the brand thanks to a Connor Gallagher entered eleven minutes earlier (0-1, 79th).
Atlético caught after leading
But the advantage will not last long for visitors who will in turn crack to collect the equalizing goal signed Vedat Muriqi (1-1, 85th). The score will no longer move and at the final whistle, Atlético players could only have their heads.
This umpteenth poor performance therefore leaves them very far behind the head teams. Current leader, Real Madrid has, for example, nine points more than its Madrid neighbor. Atlético will quickly have to wake up if he wants to stay in the race for Europe. For the time being, there is no urgency since it remains three points in sixth place. But the situation is very precarious.
