up to 15 games in a row winning. An atrocity unparalleled in history. A team capable of winning in the fields of Barça and PSG like this Atlético could only break its brutal streak in a smaller field… and against a rival that did not appear in the pools to make them bend the knee almost three months later. Forgiving in the first half (two clear chances by Julián) had consequences for a team that, if Madrid wins tomorrow, will lose the lead with the whites. A hard blow but without forgetting that Simeone's Atlético has earned respect. The final episode with Griezmann can be paid dearly at the end of the season.

Let's see who moves this Giuliano from the eleven…
Defending like anyone else, striking non-stop. This is how Giuliano Simeone, who stayed at Atlético and is known for his last name, spends his games and is proving to be one of the best red-and-white players. He did it against Leganés, as in so many games before. Some of the team's best attacking plays came with his cross that ended with Griezmann's shot hitting the post. It was one of the many of a footballer who, it is soon said, has sat Marcos Llorente… and no one can think that it is unfair. No more throwing weapons at El Cholo. Another that comes to nothing… and there are many already.

It was not the best afternoon for Julián… and Griezmann
Two clear chances by Julián were Atlético's main guarantee in the first act. In the first, the Argentine hit a far right hand that could only be repelled by the crossbar. In the second, he ran into the goalkeeper and had bad luck so that his shot, which was half a goal… came to nothing. Two actions that speak clearly that even the best sometimes don't have their day. They don't always bite, come on. As a culmination, the penalty missed by the other star of the rojiblancos, Griezmann who sent a more than controversial penalty to limbo.

-Two scares for Oblak… each one more unexpected
First, shortly after starting the game. A tight shot by Juan Cruz forced Oblak to stretch so much that his hand ended up bent against the post. So much so that the first image seemed like it could be an injury, as well as the Slovenian's gesture of pain. It came to nothing… as well as a rude error by Le Normand, rare for him, which Leganés almost took advantage of… worse than he ran into an Oblak who covered the entire goal. There are no scares for Jan, who could do nothing in Nastasic's goal, which he finished alone.

Borja's Leganés is a pain in the ass
He will fight to the end for salvation but Borja's merit at Leganés is indisputable. It is not easy to be out of the relegation spots with this squad, but they have achieved one of the most worked teams in the category. A toothache for anyone who visits Butarque… and who will be in the quarterfinal Cup draw on Monday. Almost nothing after beating Barça and Atlético. Crazy.
