More disappointment on the road for Atleti Atlético Madrid were held to another disappointing result on the road as they drew 2-2 with LALIGA?s bottom side, Almería, at the PowerHorse Stadium on Saturday night.
Luka Romero scored both goals for the visitors to cancel out the two strikes from Ángel Correa in the first two minutes and then Rodrigo de Paul in the second half, with Atleti twice pegged back by the strugglers.
Here are the four talking points from the game.
1. If Atleti can?t win away at Almería, where can they win away"

Surely a team with title aspirations and looking to cement a top four place should dispatch of one of the worst teams in LALIGA history with ease" Well, no. This was a bizarre game in that Atleti?s lethargy and laziness allowed Almería to look a much better side. It?s true that they have excelled against better teams such as Real Madrid in recent weeks, but this was a case of Atleti never getting into top gear against a side who clearly had a point to prove and bossed the 90 minutes.

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that out of all the teams in the history of the game to be winless after 25 league matches, Almeria are the best ever.? Gabriele Marcotti (@Marcotti) February 24, 2024
