It has been almost a month since the dispute last Madrid derby and the echoes of a party that is marking the future of the present day still resonate. Atlético regards. The serious incidents carried out by the red-and-white radicals are still ongoing, as could be seen against Lille, where the Frente Atlético decided not to cheer causing an atypical atmosphere in the Metropolitan.
That, in the Champions League. Because on Sunday before the Leganés was directly empty in the lower ring at the southern end due to the sanction that the Competition imposed on the red and whites and that the Appeal reduced from three to one match. In the middle, Antiviolence proposed 15 days of total closure of the Metropolitan. A succession of sanctions that have diverted the focus from sports.
After what happened in the derby, the Competition Committee of the Spanish Football Federation has sanctioned this sector of the Atlético stadium after analyzing Busquets Ferrer’s minutes.
In this area, the red and white panorama does not improve either. After the derby there have been hard blows such as two heavy defeats in the Champions League against Benfica and Lille. A seven on the waterline of a team that in LaLiga maintains its pulse and solvency but sees Europe as a difficult mountain to climb.
And he sees it this way because, among other things, the decline of Le Normand He drags himself from the derby after a fortuitous crash that kept him KO… and that has weakened the defense by losing its most reliable central defender. A decline that has continued in those of Llorente and neighborhoodstwo other players who had started the course best and who are not available for Simeone right now.
Take flight… despite the noise
Now it’s time to take flight so as not to lose pace in LaLiga. Take advantage of Saturday’s classic to cut points from one (or both in the event of a tie) of the rivals who are 7 and 4 points ahead, Barça and Madrid. To do this, it is key to remove the noise caused by the derby and start adding three by three. The Betis field, Las Palmas at home and the visit to Mallorca are the three games that Atlético must win to avoid a crisis like the one it suffers in Europe, where the visits to PSG and Sparta Prague They will mark the future of an Atlético that is paying the bills for the derby.
