Atlético de Madrid continues to consolidate itself as one of the strongest teams in LaLiga, with a start to the season that gives it reasons to dream. After a 1‑0 victory over Deportivo La Coruña at the Metropolitano, the red and white team has recorded six consecutive wins, which places it among the best starts of the Simeone era. In the 2013-14 season, the club added 27 of the first 30 points and in 2020-21 it achieved 26, both years that culminated in championships. In 2012-13 and 2023-24, Atlético also achieved 25 points in the first 12 games, although it finished with 76 in the final table, something that the board does not want to repeat this campaign.
Defensive performance has been the pillar of the team's strength. Oblak has conceded only eight goals in the first ten games, with two games without scoring and only two goals in the last six games. Celta is the only rival that has conceded fewer goals, with seven. This stability in goal has allowed Atlético to remain competitive even when the offense is not as dominant. As for the attack, the top scorer is Baena, who has surpassed his figure from the previous season. Le siguen Grimaldo y Jonathan David con tres goles cada uno, mientras que Giuliano, Kang‑in Lee y Le Normand aportan dos, y Pubill, Cuti Romero, Lookman y Julián Álvarez añaden uno cada uno.
El equipo ha demostrado versatilidad en sus victorias, logrando triunfos contundentes, goles en momentos críticos y, cuando es necesario, manteniendo el resultado en los últimos minutos. This ability to adapt to different situations has been key to maintaining the winning streak. A pesar de los desafíos, el conjunto dirigido por Diego Simeone ha mostrado un ritmo de crucero tras sumar solo cuatro puntos en los primeros nueve encuentros, y ha logrado superar obstáculos como el empate ante el Villarreal y la derrota en San Mamés.
With the season still underway, Atlético is preparing to continue its campaign with the intention of avoiding the drop in points that marked previous seasons. The next match against Betis, where Celta already showed a solid defense, will be an important test to consolidate the club's position in the table and continue dreaming of winning titles.
