Atlético Madrid Eyes Victory Against Leganés

Atlético de Madrid is currently leading the La Liga 2024/2025 season with 44 points after 19 rounds, maintaining a narrow one-point lead over second-placed Real Madrid. The team is also six points ahead of third-placed Barcelona, showcasing their strong performance this season. As they prepare for the crucial 20th round, Atlético will face Leganés away on Saturday, January 18. This match is pivotal for the team to sustain their lead against their closest rivals.

Under the management of Diego Simeone, Atlético Madrid has demonstrated remarkable resilience and depth in their squad. The team has achieved an impressive 15 consecutive victories across all competitions, although they recently faced a setback with Norwegian striker Alexander Sorloth suffering a muscle injury. The duration of his absence is still uncertain, but his injury could impact the team`s attacking options.

Simeone has emphasized the importance of focusing on one game at a time, highlighting the team`s work ethic, humility, and perseverance. Atlético Madrid has only experienced one defeat in La Liga this season, which came against Real Betis in October. As they gear up for the match against Leganés, the team is determined to maintain their advantage over Real Madrid and Barcelona, both of whom will also be in action during the 20th round. Real Madrid will host Las Palmas on Sunday, while Barcelona will play away against Getafe on Saturday. This weekend promises to be crucial in the title race as Atlético Madrid aims to solidify their position at the top of the standings.
