After defeating Real Madrid 4-2 in the Super Cup, it finally looked like this would be the year Atleti will famously lift the Champions League.

But the fate had other ideas as the team crashed out in the last 16 after failing to hold a 2 goal advantage and eventually surrendered to Cristiano’s Juventus.

In this post we shall see the complete analysis of Atletico Madrid’s 2018-19 Season.

La Liga :

The performance in la liga was convincing as the team completed second with 76 points, three less than last season.

However decisions from the referees cost a few matches, such as home fixture against Real Madrid where the decision cost 3 points and the match against Betis also cost 3 points for atleti and a few more. Hence around 7-8 points were shrugged off due to the refs.

Still the performance in few matches was far from convincing as to recall there weren’t many matches where atleti were able to kill the game.

To win the liga next season, Atleti have to be more prolific and not give lack lustre performance against mid table teams. A good performance is definitely required against teams like Espanyol, Betis, Bilbao, etc. A home victory against top 6 teams will contribute to around 18 points which would be very crucial.

Champions League :

The performance in the group stage was convincing except the away fixture to Dortmund.

Since Metropolitano hosts the final, it was expected for Atleti to reach the final and even better to win it.

After failing to grab first position in the group table, the team had to face Juventus in last 16.

The first leg against juventus was one of the best performance from rojiblancos in the entire season. Similarly the second leg was equally the worst.

And the dream of lifting the champions league at Metropolitano ended at Turin after losing 3-2 on aggregate.

Copa Del Ray :

The performance in the copa was disappointing as the team failed to beat Girona. Hopefully a better plan would be made by Cholo to try win this cup next season.

Fans Corner :

See what the Atleti fans had their say on the 2018-19 season.

Shashwat: “Atletico Madrid lacked real attacking intent this season in big matches both on League and Champions League. The were less goals scored this season than in the last and we hard better strikers this year on paper than last.“ Garcia: “The team was clueless in attack and the final third was not up to the mark. Rodri stepped up big and Saul was finding it hard to juggle between Midfield and left back position. Many injuries too cost us this season and Costa’s behaviour too. Hopefully we can win silverware next season. “

More than the results and trophies, the passion for Atletico is the biggest. It does not lie on titles rather defending the badge at all circumstances. #AupaAtleti
