#2 Atletico Madrid are finding form at the right time
Whisper it quietly but it seems Atletico Madrid have turned a corner and are now playing as they have been expected to play.
The 2-0 victory over AS Roma in the Champions League has seen an upswing in form for Los Colchoneros with two wins in La Liga on the bounce with seven goals scored and just one conceded.
Antoine Griezmann has been on fire with three goals and an assist in these two games and is in perfect form for Atletico Madrid’s must-win visit to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea in the UCL.
Diego Simeone seems to have taken the shackles off his attacking players and its now paying dividends with Kevin Gamiero, Saúl Ñíguez, Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco also delivering some of their best performances of the season in these games.
Atletico Madrid was the only team of the top four in La Liga to win this weekend and this would serve as encouragement for the team going forward with Diego Costa and Vitolo to join after the Christmas break.
