In the concluded La Liga blockbuster, Atlético Madrid suffered a 1-3 away defeat to Barcelona, failing to extend their winning streak.
According to post-match statistics from Camel Live, following this loss, Diego Simeone has led Atlético to 17 games across all competitions at Camp Nou, securing only 7 draws and 10 defeats without a single victory.
With this result, the Argentine coach has set an embarrassing record: his 17-game winless streak surpasses Javier Aguirre (16 games) to become the visiting manager with the longest consecutive winless run at Camp Nou. Current Villarreal boss Marcelino García Toral ranks third with 13 winless games.
Regarding the defeat, Simeone addressed the situation after the match, stating: “I won’t dwell on the team’s poor run of form; I only focus on today’s game. I’m satisfied with our performance – we competed fiercely against a strong opponent.
They kept finding ways to threaten us. We could have defended better, but they were indeed excellent. We created more chances in the second half, but sometimes lacked that killer instinct, which doesn’t always show. The 3-1 scoreline may not fully reflect the true nature of the game. I still hold many positive attitudes towards the upcoming matches.”
Regarding the lack of goals...Simeone replied: “That’s the same question I just explained, and you’re asking it again. The result is fair – they scored three goals, and we only scored one.”
