FELIZ LUNES! So these guys were forced to endure a dreary factory visit last week, but at least Atletico Madrid secured a 3-1 win over Zaragoza last night which leaves them in the middle of the La Liga table with 13 points! Of course, you know their rivals Real Madrid are sitting right at the top like a boss, with only one point separating them and Barcelona, following their close 1-0 victory over Sociedad.
Unfortunately, the Madridistas were overcome by exhaustion in the second half. “We lost physical freshness in the second half but we won the game with our mind which helped us control the game,” said Mourinho. Yes, Higuain knows this fight to the end is not going to be easy, so por favor, give him a few moments to be AT ONE with the pitch!
Despite the fact Levante’s seemingly “short-lived fairytale” has seen them slip to third place, only two points separate them from the leader – and they’re still very much in the race! Who said you need stars in your team to succeed? Check out this video of Levante’s aficionados chanting on the streets and welcoming their own coach, Juan Ignacio Martinez and players with a hug last night. Yes, no time for any display of swag or footballer arrogance here!
