Atlético de Madrid arrives at the City of Valencia stadium with a streak of six consecutive victories in LaLiga, the longest string of victories in the competition since January 2025. The team, led by Diego Pablo Simeone, has defeated Real Sociedad, Osasuna, Real Madrid, Alavés, Espanyol and Deportivo, with results ranging from minimal to overwhelming. If they manage to repeat the success, the squad would break a record that had not been achieved in almost two years.
The club's recent history shows that the current streak is not an isolated phenomenon. In the 2024-25 season, Atlético achieved seven consecutive victories in the league, and in the 2023-24 season it reached eight. In terms of narrow wins, the team had not achieved five in the competition since August 2021, one of the most difficult stages of “unocerismo”. The best record in the club's history was recorded in the 2024-25 season, when Atlético won 15 consecutive games in all competitions: eight in LaLiga, three in the Champions League and four in the Copa del Rey.
The confrontation with Levante, which traditionally does not represent the biggest challenge for Atlético, is presented as a test of the team's consistency. Levante have not won any of their last six home games against Atlético in LaLiga, with four draws and two defeats. In home games, Atlético has won just 18.2% of the time under Simeone, with two wins, six draws and three losses in 11 games. In contrast, Levante have lost only one of their last eleven home games in the league, with eight wins and two draws.
Atlético's performance in the 2024-25 season has also been reinforced by the arrival of new players and the continuity of the main squad. The team has maintained its aggressive playing style and compact defense, which has allowed it to consolidate its winning streak. On the competition front, Atlético occupies second position in the table, only behind Real Madrid, and maintains a three-point advantage over Barcelona.
With the next matchday in the City of Valencia, Atlético seeks not only to maintain its winning streak, but also to consolidate its position in the fight for the LaLiga title. Levante, for its part, will try to take advantage of its home advantage and break Atlético's streak. The result of this match will be crucial in determining the direction of both teams in the second half of the season.
