LaLiga Simeone's superstition to face the League final
Santander League Classification 2020-2021
While
Real Madrid
regrets the
Militao
penalty
and
Barcelona
have failed on Granada's day, there is a leader who does not regret anything, among other things because he has come out alive from his most tricky date, the visit to
Camp Nou
, and it turns out that now he depends on himself with three days to go. However, since
Cholo
arrived at the rojiblanco bench, the statistics of the last three league games do not accompany him to win this League. In the nine seasons that he has been coach of Atlético, his team
has failed to win in the last three games
of the championship.
Atlético de Madrid's remaining rivals are:
Real Sociedad, Osasuna and Valladolid
. Since
Simeone
signed for the rojiblanco team in December 2011, the two times they have faced Real in the last three days, they have only managed to scratch the tie. One of them was nine years ago and, like this season, on matchday 36 and at home. The second time was last year in the last game. If that story repeats itself this year, Atlético would leave the League in the hands of its greatest rivals. Neither Osasuna nor Valladolid have been rivals at this stage of the tournament.
When the title has been played in these last three dates, Atlético has smiles and tears. In
2013-2014
, he became the league champion, but in the final stretch he also punctured. After adding nine consecutive victories, he deflated in the last three days. The defeat against
Levante
and the draw against
Málaga
on matchdays 36 and 37 caused the League to be tighter. In fact, due to these two setbacks, in the last round Atlético visited the Camp Nou with everything to decide, but managed to sign a 1-1 that gave them the title.
Instead, the last three games in
2015-2016
did turn the tide in their fight for the title.
Before the start of matchday 36 it was a League of three:
Barcelona, Atlético and Real Madrid
.
The first two tied at 82 points and followed by the white team with 81. However, the rojiblancos were in charge of erasing themselves after losing to the bottom (Levante) on the penultimate day.
To these statistics must be added the injury to
Lemar's
left thigh
.
El
Cholo
will be without him at Real Sociedad and Osasuna.
The curse of the last 3 days
Last three days of the last nine seasons.
Out of 81 points
at stake, Atlético
has achieved 41
points.
The most he has achieved has been two victories and a draw in the 2011-2012, 2016-2017 and 2019-2020 seasons, that is, seven points out of nine.
The worst League finals for the rojiblanco team were in 2013-2014, 2014-2015 and 2018-2019.
Those of the Cholo were not able to win any meeting in the final stretch.
However, in these three seasons they achieved great achievements: winning the league, qualifying to play the Champions League and runner-up in the competition.
