Zapping Our Mondial TOP 10: The most beautiful Ligue 1 2021/2022 jerseys
Despite an XXL transfer window last summer, Atlético de Madrid, coached by its almost secular Diego Simeone, cannot find the solution. It was seen again today at the Camp Nou, the Argentinian coach’s men lost 4-2, in a match where the Barcelonians simply looked better. With this new defeat in the league, the mattresses still point to 5th place in LaLiga, but are still in the race for Europe.
Four goals conceded in the league is anything but trivial for Simeone and Atlético de Madrid, they who have accustomed us to an iron defense for more than ten years now, even the team has lost its luster lately. A stat revealed by Opta after the match shows that we may be witnessing the end of an era at Atléti: it is the first time that the Madrid club have conceded four goals in a La Liga match since December 2012, already at the Camp Nou at the time, the third time under the Simeone era.

to summarize
Diego Simeone and Atlético de Madrid are having a tumultuous season and this defeat today against Barça is unlikely to help. Unfortunately, what happened to him and his players this afternoon is historic, as it has been more than nine years since they last conceded four goals in a La Liga match.
