ATLÉTICO DE MADRID'S LAST GAME IN LALIGA

In the last game played by the colchoneros, they failed to get the three points in the fight to keep on scoring points to keep their fourth place in the overall standings in the Spanish league. A double from Juanmi Jiménez was enough to kill Atletico Madrid's hopes, who had to be content with watching the leaders of the table add points and move away from them.

Watch out for this Atletico Madrid player:

For this match, the player to watch will be Atletico Madrid's iconic center forward, Alvaro Morata. The Spanish striker has become an icon of the Colchoneros' offense due to his vast experience already in European soccer, and Álvaro Morata has the perfect qualities to be the factor that tips the scales in favor of the Colchoneros.

Watch out for this Barcelona player:

For this match, the player to watch will be Barcelona's iconic center forward Robert Lewandowski. The Polish striker is always a latent danger in the box, whether or not he has the ball under his control, so opposing defenses must always be alert as Robert Lewandowski knows how to slip between the defensive lines to get unmarked and score a goal for Barcelona.

They want to tighten the pace

It is true, Atletico Madrid is in the qualifying positions for next season's UEFA Champions League and everything seems to indicate that this is how the season will end, however, there is a wide advantage between the third place and the colchoneros, so a victory at this moment would shorten the distance with the culés and would bring them closer to the fight to climb one more position in the general table of LaLiga. Currently, Atletico Madrid is in fourth place in the competition with 55 points after 17 wins, 4 draws and 7 defeats throughout the campaign. In terms of goal difference, Atletico has 54 goals scored and 31 conceded, leaving a positive goal difference of 23 goals. Last matchday, Cholo Simeone's pupils lost 2-0 against Cádiz, dropping three golden points.

The fight for the second place is even better

Barcelona is still looking with all its hopes to score points to get the second place in the general table in the Spanish league and maybe with a bit of luck in its favor, to be able to get closer to fight for the championship against Real Madrid, however, a slip would also put Girona, current second place in the championship that still does not let die the hopes of being able to win the championship this season. At the moment, Barcelona is in third place in the general table with 61 points, the result of 18 wins, 7 draws and three defeats, with 57 goals scored and 34 conceded, with a total of 23 goals scored making the difference. Last matchday, Xavi Hernández's men beat Mallorca by the minimum difference thanks to a solitary goal by Lamine Yamal.

The race to win LaLiga continues

The teams are still in the race to continue positioning themselves in the top positions of the local competition to qualify for some international club competition such as the UEFA Europa League, UEFA Champions League or UEFA Conference League and in the case of others, to save themselves from relegation in order to stay in the top circuit of Spanish soccer, also, with already half of the season gone, little by little the teams that will fight for the title this season are beginning to be glimpsed. For this match, Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid will face each other at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium, where the Atlético de Madrid will want to get three points to stay within the Champions League places and shorten the points gap with Barcelona, a team that is currently in third place.
