The Atlético de Madrid suffered a critical setback in their LaLiga title race after falling to Getafe, a defeat that leaves them one point behind leaders Barcelona, albeit with an extra game played. Beyond the result, the main focus of criticism falls on Diego Pablo Simeone, whose direction in this match has raised serious doubts, especially ahead of the decisive Champions League clash against Real Madrid.

The red and white team never managed to impose their game at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez. Although they took the lead on the scoreboard with a penalty converted by Sorloth, the advantage was short-lived and lacked real control over the match. Getafe, true to José Bordalás's style, did not concede ground and ended up prevailing with a brace from Mauro Arambarri, scoring in the 8th and 92nd minutes, the latter with Atlético completely faded.

Simeone, the main target of Atlético's defeat

Simeone's decisions have come under scrutiny, as the substitutions did not have the expected impact and the expulsion of Ángel Correa in the 88th minute left the team with no room for reaction. The lack of tactical clarity and the loss against a seemingly beatable opponent have set off alarms among fans and the press.

This result not only distances Atlético from the title race but also raises uncertainty ahead of the European derby against Real Madrid. Simeone, who has been a cornerstone of the club in the last decade, now faces a wave of criticism at a crucial moment in the season, where the margin for error is minimal, and expectations are at their highest.
