Atletico Makes A Remarkable Feat

Primera Liga

Atletico Madrid managed to win the league title ahead of both Real Madrid and Barcelona this season. They have become the first team since Valencia to achieve this feat. It has been a remarkable transformation for the club, which cost less than £ 100 million for the entire starting 11. Diego Simeone has been receiving a lot of plaudits for the way he has transformed the club into a team that works for each other. Teammate ethic has been a major reason towards Atletico winning the title and Simeone says that this team can go on to receive more plaudits in the future.

Atletico managed to stay unbeaten against Barcelona throughout the season and this helped them win the league title in the end. The 1-1 draw at the camp Nou saw them finish two points above the Catalan club after the 38 game season. The club came into the match looking to steal the title, which would be possible with just two point. The case was different for Barcelona, who had to win the match in order to retain the title. For long periods of the match, it looked like the goal from Alexis Sanchez in the first half will hand Barcelona the title when they clearly have not been the best team this season.

Godin, however, had the last laugh after his goal helped the club win the title.

“Today will be one of the most important days in the history of the club. I never thought for a moment the team would not do it. They always have a response. The bigger the challenge is, the more determined they are to achieve it. To become champions against Barcelona is a great feeling. We were calm at half-time as the team had started well although the injuries to Diego and Arda were a problem,” said Simeone.
