Julian Alvarez He scored his first goal of 2025 and gave a ‘title’ to the Atlético de Madrid. Yes, the quote is not a typo. Because although it is ‘winter champion’ It is not recorded in official records, it is usually an indicator of what is to come. With the Cordoban’s goal for the 1-0 over Osasuna At home, the team led by the Argentine Diego Pablo Simeone achieved his 14th consecutive victory and was at the top of the Spanish standings. Of the last eight champions of this tournament, seven were first when the first round ended of matches of the season.
It was nine minutes into the second half of a tight match, complicated for ‘Aleti’. And of Simeone’s laboratory executed by the Griezmann-De Paul duo from a corner so that Lenglet could head it down to Álvarez, the ‘Spider’ struck at just the right moment to make the ‘colchoneros’ fans delirious.
It was the Argentine striker’s sixth goal of the season, the first since the number of the year was changed in the calendar, and it served to blow up an almost full stadium with 65,000 spectators and an important match atmosphere, despite the intense cold in the Metropolitan.
This is a brutal streak for the team from the Spanish capital, which a couple of months ago after losing to Betis in Seville, was debating whether to continue it or end the historic cycle of ‘Cholo’ Simeone as coach. But once the additions were put in place, including Calchín from Cordoba himself, it became a team of its own: perhaps not so attractive to the common eye, but too productive for your interests.
Since then, eight consecutive victories in the League and 14 consecutive in all competitions. An unprecedented record in its history. Data is data.
Thus he left behind the two superpowers of Spanish football, Real Madrid (one point away) and Barcelona (six away), and fuels the illusion of winning the League again, which would mean the third for the Simeone Era (the last was in the 2020/21 season), which has eight titles in total.
