Atletico Madrid, who won the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey, can also take a breather.

The next Copa del Rey match will not start again until after the winter break.

So before that, Atletico's main task was to get more points in the league.

Atletico now have 22 points, just one point less than Barcelona, who are at the top of the league, and second in the league.

Atletico Madrid's advantage over Barcelona is that they do not have a European mission and can concentrate on the league wholeheartedly.

And teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid all have European tasks, so their energy is bound to be scattered, which gives Atletico Madrid a chance.

In the tenth round of the league, Atletico Madrid challenged Villarial away.

It's also a tough opponent, finishing seventh in La Liga last season and reaching the last four of the Champions League the year before.

It can be said that the current yellow submarine is in the limelight.

And such a team that is in the limelight meets Atletico Madrid, an opponent with the same momentum.

The two teams inevitably collided with violent sparks.

At Villarreal's home stadium, the Stadium of Love Songs, under the watchful eyes of 22,000 spectators.

The two teams staged a great matchup.

The two teams combined to bring about seven goals.

In the end, with Lin Ran's brace and Torres and Lucin's goal.

Atletico Madrid beat Villarreal 4-3 away from home.

After this game, Atletico Madrid met Levante at home in the 11th round of the league.

For this opponent who has just been eliminated in the Copa del Rey, the whole team of Atletico Madrid is full of disdain.

Last time, we were able to play a 6-0 away game, and this time we went to Atletico Madrid's home stadium, and we played with all the main forces.

It should be a breeze to take down the other party.

Ahead of the game, the whole Atletico squad was full of optimism.

Even head coach Aguirre was relaxed and didn't make any special arrangements for Levante.

And before the game, he also warned his disciples that when the game was playing, it was enough to win two or three goals.

Don't kick the opponent in a hurry, in case the opponent loses in a hurry, it will be bad to get a black foot.

It also made the players laugh for a while.

There was a relaxed atmosphere throughout the team.

However, Lin Ran was a little wary of this relaxation of the whole team.

He thinks his teammates are too underestimated, and although Levante is indeed not as strong as Atletico Madrid, it is also a La Liga team after all.

The strength is not yet to the point where they can easily crush it.

However, seeing that his teammates all looked like they didn't care, he didn't want to spoil everyone's interest, so he didn't say anything.

At the pre-match press conference, Levante's head coach Carlo also uncharacteristically and suddenly praised Atletico Madrid.

'I think Atletico Madrid is a very strong team and I didn't realise that in the last Copa del Rey game, so it led to our defeat.

"Especially their Chinese goalscorer, Lin, who is a nightmare for every team.

"If you ask me what I think of today's game, all I can say is that Levante will try to play as well as he can, and as for the final result, we don't care too much.

Aguirre's face bloomed with a smile as he said that.

The old boy finally relented.

It seems that the last game taught the opponent a very profound lesson.

So much so that the other party has become polite when he speaks now.

Now that the other party has begun to succumb, Aguirre is no longer facing the opponent.

Instead, he smiled and was polite to the other party.

"I think Levante is also a great team, they are one of the oldest teams in La Liga and we should respect it. "

Coach Carlo is a good coach and I have a lot of admiration for him. Hopefully both teams will play better in the game. The

mutual compliments of the coaches of the two sides made the atmosphere of the pre-match press conference harmonious to the extreme.

Aguirre, who returned to the locker room after the press conference, was full of spring breeze.

When the players were about to come on the field, he reminded: "Remember what I said before, play with some energy, just win two or three goals against the opponent, don't do any massacre." The coach on the other side is good. This

made all the Atletico players laugh.

So the Atletico players went on the pitch with a relaxed mood.

In their opinion, this game is just a passing scene, winning the opponent by two goals at will, and then playing a dozen passes, and then the work can be called.

With this in mind, at the beginning of the game, Atletico Madrid played very relaxed.

The players even played tricks on the field.

This also makes the team's midfield pass inevitably mistakes.

And this kind of mistake is fatal on the field of La Liga.

In the 16th minute of the game, Atletico Madrid controlled the ball in the midfield, Lucin dribbled forward, Levante defender Ndiaye came to intercept, and there was another midfielder Belesson not far from him, who could rush up to help defend at any time.

Under normal circumstances, like this situation, Lucin will definitely not break through by himself, but directly pass the ball out to find his own player on the wing or straight in front of him.

But Lucin was very relaxed today, and in the face of Ndiaye, who was on the grab, he suddenly wanted to show off his footwork.

So he chose to break through the other party directly.

Seeing him feint with a smash ball, Ndiaye pounced on his left side.

Then he suddenly flicked the ball to the right and swept it past Ndiaye.

This time the person was very beautiful, but he didn't notice that another figure not far away had already pounced on him.

It was Levante midfielder Belesson who had been paying attention to this side just now.

Lucin had just grazed the ball past Ndiaye and was feeling proud, but he was caught off guard by Belson and broke the ball off the ground.

After Belezon broke the ball, he didn't hesitate without any hesitation and found striker Mayon, who had long been ambushed in Atletico Madrid's backline, with a long pass.

Mayon had already started when Belesson broke the ball.

By the time Belesson got the ball, he had crossed the back line of Atletico Madrid and formed a one-on-one shot.

The ball slipped through the gap between Atletico's centre-backs and full-backs and slanted to Meyon, who was moving forward at high speed.

Several of Atletico's defenders raised their hands to signal that the opponent was offside, and began to chase back in a panic.

However, the referee and linesman had no intention of blowing offside.

This made Atletico's defenders even more panicked.

After receiving the ball, Mei Yong took advantage of the situation and went into the penalty area.

Facing the onrushing Atletico goalkeeper Cuellar, he fired a tricky shot that sent the ball past Cuellar and bounced into the net on the inside of the right-hand post.

Levante scored.

Atletico Madrid was overjoyed and was beaten first by the underdog Levante.

The score became 0-1 and the home team Atletico Madrid fell behind.
