Atletico Madrid suffered a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Las Palmas, considerably reducing their hopes of winning LaLiga. Javi Munoz's stoppage-time goal shocked Simeone's side, who are now ten points behind leaders Barcelona. After the match, Simeone acknowledged the team's poor performance stating, "If we had any chance of winning the league, we had to get perfect numbers." The team's lack of scoring opportunities was evident, with just 0.8 expected goals from their attempts, and they are now left with a mere 0.2% chance of claiming the title.
If we had any chance of winning the league, we had to get perfect numbers. [On Saturday], we didn't.
It wasn't a matter of attitude, we just played badly. There was no fluidity, no chance to link up play.
The first half was fairly solid, but we couldn't take the lead. The second half started flat.
Atleti accumulated just 0.8 expected goals from their seven attempts, managing two shots on target.
