Atlético Madrid`s 15-match winning streak ended with a 1-0 loss to Leganés, featuring Griezmann`s missed penalty.

Atlético de Madrid faced a disappointing defeat against Leganés, losing 1-0 on January 19, 2025. This loss not only halted their impressive 15-match winning streak but also allowed Real Madrid to overtake them in the La Liga standings. Despite creating multiple scoring opportunities, Atlético struggled to find the back of the net, with Antoine Griezmann notably missing a crucial penalty that could have changed the outcome of the match.

Following this setback, Atlético Madrid now sits in second place in La Liga with 44 points from 20 matches, having secured 13 wins, 5 draws, and 2 losses. Real Madrid currently leads the table with 46 points, while Barcelona trails Atlético by seven points, intensifying the competition at the top of the league.

Looking ahead, Atlético Madrid is preparing for their upcoming UEFA Champions League clash against Bayer Leverkusen on January 21. The team has received a boost with the return of Jose Maria Gimenez to the squad, although he is not expected to start. However, they will be missing key players Alexander Sorloth and Pablo Barrios, who are sidelined until the end of January, adding to the challenges facing the team as they aim to regain their winning form.
