Atletico Madrid saw their record-breaking 15-match winning run end with a 1-0 loss to local rivals Leganes, allowing Real Madrid to close in on the LaLiga title lead.
Despite controlling over 60% possession and hitting the woodwork three times, Atletico's squandered opportunities culminated in a missed stoppage-time penalty by Antoine Griezmann.
Matija Nastasic's second-half header was the decisive moment, as Leganes capitalized on a corner and secured an unexpected victory over Atletico, ending a nine-match winless stretch against them.
Simeone's frustration was evident as Atletico accumulated a significantly higher expected goals (xG) of 2.52 compared to Leganes' 0.41, showcasing the disparity in finishing quality.
