Edu Aguirre Rules out a Rival for LaLiga and Says It Will be a Matter of Two: 'They are Not Reliable'

The journalist from 'El Chiringuito de Jugones' spoke about Atlético and its chances of competing in the championship

Another round of LaLiga matches in which Real Madrid once again reduced the gap on Barça . The Merengue team beat Girona (0-3) last Saturday and is now 2 points behind the blaugrana with one game less.

In addition to Real Madrid , another team that did its homework at the last minute was Atlético de Madrid . The red-and-whites, who were hosting Sevilla FC in the capital, came back from a 1-3 deficit in the second half. A goal from Antoine Griezmann in the 94th minute confirmed the home team's victory and reduced the gap with Barça to 3 points.

It should be noted that Atlético de Madrid , like Real Madrid , have also been given a very favorable result. The Colchoneros also have a game in hand on Barça and, in addition, could overtake them before Christmas if they win at Montjuic (21 December).

Atlético de Madrid's good run

There is no denying that Atlético de Madrid is currently in excellent form. The team managed by 'Cholo' Simeone hasn't known defeat since last October 27th. Since then, 9 victories in 3 different competitions.

Before the end of the year, Atlético de Madrid will host Slovan and Getafe at home and will travel to Barcelona . In Barcelona , against Hansi Flick 's men, the colchoneros will play a match that will generate great interest for Real Madrid . A draw between the two clubs could leave the Merengues in a great position for the second half of the season.

Edu Aguirre's opinion onAtlético and LaLiga

Edu Aguirre spoke about Atlético de Madrid 's chances of winning LaLiga on the latest program of ' El Chiringuito '. The journalist was very forceful in his opinion.

"If I were at Atlético Madrid I wouldn't even believe it. Atlético, after all the money they've spent on transfers, we have to demand that they play better. They're playing well, but they're the least reliable team of the last ten years," he explained.

"We are always doing this program in October, November and December. I think that Atlético doesn't win LaLiga. I look at the reliability that a team that is not reliable gives me," said Edu Aguirre.
