Atletico Madrid:
Atletico Madrid has been facing the same problem as before which is not letting the club fight for another title as they had the chance to win 2 times in the last decade. Simone cannot find his consistency as Atletico Madrid loses many crucial points in the league. In their last 5 games, they lost only 1 game, against Real Madrid, and are now unbeaten in their last 3 games with a total of 38 points.
