La Liga 2024-25: Simeone wants Atletico to build on momentum after PSG win in UCL

The Hindu  

Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone expects his side to take confidence from its last-gasp 2-1 Champions League win at Paris St Germain when it travels to face Mallorca in La Liga on Sunday. After a tough October in which Atletico secured one victory in five matches in all competitions, including consecutive Champions League losses, it has won its last three games. “The hardest thing in football is to maintain consistency and we did it by winning a Copa del Rey match at Vic, in La Liga against Las Palmas and at PSG on Wednesday. They concede few goals, it will be a difficult match.” Atletico is third in the La Liga standings on 23 points, one behind Real Madrid and 10 points adrift of leader Barcelona.
