Atletico Madrid had also endured a poor start where they dropped two of their first three league phase matches. But then they have staged a great come back clinching the Champions League cup three times in a row and extending their string of victories to ten in all competitions. However, more recent win, a 3-1 away victory against Slovan Bratislava at the Metropolitano stadium proved their jumper back fully.

Atleti seemed to pick the early going of the match right where they left off and took the leads in the sixteenth minute through Julian Alvarez. The evening atmosphere was set by the forward’s goal, which was his fourth goal in the Champions League this campaign. Before half time, Antoine Griezmann added the score line further and contributing in an excellent half for the team.

Midway through the second half Slovan Bratislava was awarded for Clement Lenglet’s tackle in the penalty area which was a definite knockout blow to the home side. Six minutes after the re start David Strelec into the field with confidence and reduced the score. Atletico Madrid quickly struck back though as Antoine Griezmann scores for the second time to make it 2-1 and his second goal of the night.

This victory puts Atletico in 10th place on the league phase ratings. But there is a catch to their position: They have one more game than many of their closest rivals and as the competition heats up they will not have time to put their feet up.

"There are two games left and they are very good teams," Simeone said. "We face Leverkusen, one of the best in the competition, and we will see how far we can go. We will give our maximum and see what the sum of our points brings us."

Atletico Madrid winning streak was further extended to 10 consecutive wins after they walloped Slovan Bratislava 3-1 on Wednesdays. Two games are left at Parc des Princes with Bayer Leverkusen and RB Salzburg to be played, that leave PSG at exact distance of one point to the first eight in the standings upon winning in Madrid.

"The effort was there," he said of Wednesday’s performance. "The first half was controlled, with important chances, and then in the second it was also controlled beyond that penalty. The players managed it well and we won a game in which we cared a lot about the three points."

Atletico’s team has been more fascinating in the current 10 match unbeaten runs and the team has scored an astonishing 21 goals in the last 5 matches. Right now they are moving up the table after their rather slow beginning of the season under the vigilant guidance of Simeone.

"It's football and football turns, changes, with moments of difficulty and others that lead you to be very good. We know what we have (in the team), where we are going, and we always try to improve."
