In the 23rd round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid encountered each other in the top match. Although the "royal" has played overwhelming, they still have to accept the 1-1 draw. This result does not change the situation on the rankings, when Real Madrid ranked first, more than Atletico Madrid at second place.
After the match, coach Diego Simeone was asked about the best team La Liga this year. Suddenly, he chose Barcelona, instead of the top team Real Madrid. Atletico's coach told AS: “I still assert Barcelona is the strongest team in La Liga. They attack very well, owning many players with incredible speed and collective play.
Let's wait and see if they win tomorrow or not. It is interesting to witness this tense and peak race. ”
Currently, Barcelona is ranked 3rd, 5 points behind Real Madrid. If Sevilla won in the next match, Hansi Flick's teachers and students will only be "royal" with 2 points. In addition, Barcelona overwhelmed Real in 2 matches this season, when winning 4-0 in La Liga and 5-2 at the Spanish Super Cup.
Assessing the Madrid derby, coach Simeone asked Atletico Madrid to be more sharp. He continued: “I thought that in the first half, the team did well. Unfortunately the team is not sharp in the last minutes, to take advantage of opportunities. In the second half, they soon had a goal and made the match more fierce.
After about 20 minutes, we have many better opportunities for Julian or Llorente. The match ended with a draw, but I thought everyone saw that Atletico had missed more. ”
