And in 12 league games, he had penalized to score 12 goals.

Their top scorer,

, had four, the same as the rojiblanco top scorer

accumulates today

, only with six more days.

Then, life revolved around the obsession with the goal (due to its absence) and the idea of ​​the famous transition.

Yesterday, Atlético got on the plane, heading to

, where they will try to channel their classification for the eighth of the Champions League, with numbers that are reminiscent of those of lavish times in the Simeone stage.

They bring to mind, saving the distances, those of that magical 13/14 course.

The rojiblancos have not known defeat since their visit to the

, on February 1.

The previous best mark of the rojiblanco club, 20 games without falling, is also Simeone (2017).

Real numbers accompanied by names in a state of grace such as Suárez or Joao Félix.

Now comes the Lokomotiv, a good solution to avoid troubles in the future.
