Atletico Madrid celebrated a new historic achievement achieved by its Argentine coach, Diego Simeone, in the best possible way, by achieving a victory over Deportivo Alaves in the Spanish League.

Atletico Madrid turned the table at home to its guest Alaves and won 2-1, in the match that brought them together in the 14th round of the Spanish League, to snatch 3 valuable points.

The Basque guest surprised everyone at the “Riyad Air Metropolitano” stadium in Madrid, and took the lead with an early goal in the seventh minute through John Joridi from a penalty kick.

Alaves maintained its lead until the last quarter of an hour, during which Atletico Madrid achieved an exciting “remontada”, which resulted in two victorious goals scored by French star Antoine Griezmann from a penalty kick in the 76th minute, then Norwegian international substitute Alexander Sorloth in the 86th minute.

While this is the fourth loss for Alaves in the last 5 matches, the ninth this season, keeping its score at 13 points in 16th place temporarily.

Atletico celebrated the achievement of its coach Simeone, who became the first coach in the history of the Spanish League to play 700 matches with one team in the competition in all tournaments, according to the “Opta” global statistics network.

Simeone took over as coach of Atletico Madrid in December 2011, succeeding Spaniard Giorgio Manzano, and has since led the team in 700 matches, winning 413 of them, drawing 156, and losing 131.

In those matches, the team scored 1,168 goals, conceded 577, and left with a clean sheet in 326 matches, according to the Opta network, and achieved two titles in the Spanish League

With its third victory in a row, and the eighth this season, Simeone’s team raised its score to 29 points, temporarily seizing second place by two points ahead of its arch-neighbor Real Madrid, which will be a guest at Leganes (Sunday) and has a postponed match against Valencia.
