Atlético throws its tantrum

Although qualified for the last four of the Champions League, Atlético de Madrid is going through a very bad patch in terms of results.

Atlético de Madrid failed again this Wednesday evening, surprised by Elche in the 33e lifting of La Liga (3-2).

Certainly reduced to 10 after half an hour of play and the expulsion of Thiago Almada, the Matelassiers ended up lowering their flag at the start of the final quarter of an hour, victims of a double from Andre Silva (75e).

Thus weighed down by a fourth consecutive setback in the championship – not to mention their disillusionment of the weekend in the final of the Copa del Rey, the Colchoneros saw the podium slip away. This is one week before the reception of Arsenal in the first leg of C1.
