Atletico Madrid will face Real Sociedad on Wednesday night and it will be a big game. Keep in mind that it’s the toughest opponent Atletico has to face in the last three rounds.
Home game is an advantage
Atletico Madrid is not losing many points at home. They lost two points against Real Madrid last time and it was visible that Diego Simeone was not impressed. Keep in mind that Atletico Madrid even won the game at home stadium against Barcelona – a team that they could not defeat at home stadium for years. That’s why Real Sociedad has to be very careful when it comes to playing against Atletico, especially in Madrid. Barcelona already dropped two points on Tuesday night and it was a big nightmare for Messi’s team. Atletico Madrid has a chance to go 4 points clear of Barcelona. Don’t forget Real Madrid has three matches left also – just like Atletico Madrid. So, Diego Simeone’s team is still under a lot of pressure.
Who can lift the La Liga title?
Slowly it becomes obvious that Atletico Madrid is the main team lifting the La Liga title this season. First of all, they had 10 points to lead the main competitors. No one could ever predict that La Liga tournament finish would be so dramatic because Atletico Madrid had a very big lead. Secondly, Atletico Madrid did not have any issues in the first half of the season but they started falling in the second one. Keep in mind that the main scorer (Luis Suarez) got injured and he missed a few weeks. Due to the injury list, Atletico Madrid dropped many points and even lost important games. For instance, they dropped points against Real Madrid at home stadium. They had a lead for the whole match but Karim Benzema scored a last-minute screamer and gave Real Madrid chances for La Liga.
