Atlético de Madrid returned to victory after losing to Levante and temporarily recovered fourth position in the table with 42 points. The ‘rojiblancos’ beat Osasuna in a game that soon turned on them with João Félix’s goal after 3 minutes of play.
In such an irregular season, Simeone’s team showed a good version but still continues to make mistakes that they have to correct, especially thinking about the Champions League tie against Manchester United.

Aim
Atlético de Madrid won 0-3 but did not give an offensive recital. Simeone’s team shot four times between the three posts scoring three goals and did not shoot outside during the 90 minutes. An effectiveness that has allowed them to add three new points and the three strikers have also scored, Joao Félix, Luis Suárez and Correa, who arrive plugged into the tie against United.
The starting eleven
Diego Simeone made several changes in the eleven and some of them were decisive for Atleti to start with more decision and improve the image given in the last week. Vrsaljko’s entry allowed Marcos Llorente to play inside, which is where he performs best, and not on the side.
With Héctor Herrera, Atleti had a little more control of the ball and continuity in the game, and João Félix who scored again at El Sadar and pointed the way to victory with his early goal.
block defense
The weakness of this Atlético de Madrid is the defense but in El Sadar they did not see those holes that they left in previous games nor did they allow the Osasuna strikers to finish off placidly inside the area.
The eleven Atleti players defended the result from when they scored the first goal until the last and this time Oblak did manage to keep a clean sheet, although with the help of the crossbar.
The certainty of victory
Atlético de Madrid is having an irregular season and after last Wednesday’s unexpected setback against Levante, the rojiblanco team needed to find victory again. Firstly because reaching the tie against Manchester United having won is always a morale booster and secondly because the fight for fourth place in the Champions League is very tight with Barça and Villarreal.
Error
Give the ball to the opponent
With the players that Atlético de Madrid had on the field, they could have shown greater authority in the game. In fact, in the first 12 minutes he erased Osasuna from the field with a great Héctor Herrera who was one of the best of the game.
As the minutes went by, the rojiblancos handed the ball over to the rival and this time they were lucky to defend well and Osasuna hardly created any danger, but against United they will have to keep the ball more and not fall back into their field.
