With a crucial 2-0 victory over RCD Mallorca at home, Atletico Madrid maintained their hopes of winning La Liga. Antoine Griezmann won the game late after Mallorca put up little of a fight, and Samuel Lino opened the scoring in the first half.

In the moment Real Madrid prepared to enter their game Atléti exploited this opening to narrow the point difference between them. The defense from Mallorca matched Simeone's team so well that Lino managed to score his season's third goal at that critical moment.

The championship battle became more difficult for Atletico after they failed to win points against Leganés and played to a draw against Villarreal in their previous league games. They obtained the vital three points which they desperately needed.

Simeone implemented his inflexible defensive structure for a second match to suppress an offensive-stale Mallorca side occupying seventh position in the season. Atlético successfully blocked their opponents' attacking moves through their defensively strict defensive structure thus showing the attacking problems of their rivals.

Antoine Griezmann scored two goals against Salzburg during this week yet he had not found the net in La Liga competition for a long period. The striker scored his last goal during Atletico's historic 4-3 Sevilla victory from December. His delayed strike allowed him to regain self-assurance which solved his long-standing goal drought.

During his 11-year management period at Atletico Madrid Diego Simeone became the first manager to guide 500 La Liga games within a single club and reached position eight on the management list. The football club Atletico Madrid keeps building its identity through the long-term influence of Diego Simeone as its manager.

Mallorca's problems continue. Their offensive weakness is highlighted by the fact that they are still goalless in 2025 and are in their deepest slump since April.
