Atletico Madrid’s first three rounds of La Liga have been a miserable start.
The Rojiblancos met Deportivo Alavés at the Mendizorroza Stadium, where Diego Simeone’s side settled for a 1-1 draw.
Atletico Madrid took the lead in the seventh minute through Giovanni Simeone, but the lead was short-lived as the home side equalized in the 14th minute through Carlos Vicente from the penalty spot.
Atletico Madrid opened their season with a 2-1 defeat to Espanyol away from home, and last round they drew 1-1 with newly promoted Elche at the Wanda Metropolitano.
After three rounds, Atletico are winless, with just two points to occupy 14th place in La Liga.
Atlético Madrid spent €175 million this summer, yet they have failed to deliver entertaining attacking football or even achieve victories, sparking a storm of attacks that has become commonplace in recent years against coach Diego Simeone.
The capital club’s management remains committed to Simeone, who has been in charge since 2011, but the continuation of these results may raise the question of whether the Argentine’s career at Atlético will end.
