Atletico Madrid were in Champions League action on Wednesday, playing out a 3-3 draw against Club Brugge in the first leg of their knockout playoff in Belgium. That result came after two straight league defeats against Real Betis and Rayo Vallecano. They were beaten 3-0 by Rayo Vallecano in their last La Liga match, which left Diego Simeone’s side fourth in the table, three points behind Villarreal in third place.
Atletico are also feeling pressure from below, as they sit just four points ahead of fifth-placed Real Betis in the race for a Champions League spot next season. Overall, they have managed only one win in their last four matches in all competitions. That victory was a big one, though — a 4-0 win over Barcelona in the first leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final, putting them in a strong position to reach the final. Despite recent struggles, Atletico have been very strong at home this season. They have collected 31 points from 12 league matches at their stadium, winning 10, drawing one and losing just once.
