Atletico Madrid celebrate victory on Simeone’s anniversary
Diego Simeone celebrated a victory on his 700th appearance as Atletico Madrid coach. Late goals from Antoine Griezmann (75') and Alexander Sörloth (86') gave the Rojiblancos a 2:1 (0:1) victory over Deportivo Alaves on Saturday. Atletico temporarily moved up to second place in La Liga after their third success in a row.
With eight goals conceded in 14 games, Atlético have the best defense in the league. Strong defending is a trademark of Simeone: in 700 matches on the touchline, his team has conceded 326 times.
Simeone, who has coached Atletico Madrid for almost 13 years, has won the Spanish championship (2014 and 2021) and the Europa League (2012 and 2018) twice with the club. The 54-year-old Argentinian also led the Madrilenians to the Champions League final twice (2014 and 2016 with defeats against Real Madrid).
