The 2014 2015 Champions League So Far
Thus far in the UCL European, the Mattressers have been acquitting themselves quite well. Things got off to a shaky start back in September, when the squad lost their first fixture of the 2014 2015 tournament.
The game in question, a 3-2 bout against Greek club, Olympiakos Piraeus, showed weakness for last year's soccer tournament runners up. The Greeks scored two goals before Madrid could even get on the board.
Since then, things have been going much better for the wearers of the Atletico Madrid football kit. In the three Champions League matches that the soccer squad has played since that mid-September loss, they've not only won each time, but also haven't even allowed their opponents to score!
Tournament Wins
For the 2014 2015 UCL, Atletico Madrid was drawn into Group A. In addition to Olympiakos Piraeus, the group also includes Italian champs Juventus and Malmo FF, from Sweden.
Since losing to Olympiakos Piraeus, the Mattressers have experienced nothing but smooth sailing in the group stage. For instance, on the first day of October, players and fans alike donned the Atletico Madrid home jersey 2014 2015 to take on Juventus at home.
Many believed, when group stage draws were announced that Juventus would be Atletico's main rival in the early stages of the competition. However, Madrid was able to beat the Italian football titans 1-0 in their first 2014 2015 meet-a sign that could indicate the Mattressers' overall strength and prospects for the rest of the competition.
Not that Juventus was a pushover of a rival. On the contrary, for the first 73 minutes of the match, the two teams were locked in a 0-0 dead heat. It wasn't until the 74th minute of the match that Madrid winger Arda Turan delivered what would ultimately be the only goal of the match. Madrid won the game 1-0.
The Malmo Matches
The outcome was completely different at the next Champions League match. Fans returned to the Vicente Calderon Stadium, wearing the Atletico Madrid football kit and ready to cheer the home team on. They weren't disappointed: Atletico's players responded with their best performance of the season-UCL or otherwise-against Malmo FF.
After a scoreless first half, the footballers in the Atletico Madrid home jersey 2014 2015 ignited in the second half. A goal at the 48-minute mark-scored by midfielder Koke and assisted by Turan-got the ball rolling for the Mattressers.
Three more assists from Koke made the young soccer player the man of the match. However, five different Atletico Madrid players scored that day, bringing the outcome of the fixture to 5-0.
The Atletico Madrid football squad won another victory against Malmo just last week, putting on the away jersey for only the second time in the 2014 2015 UCL. The win wasn't as precipitous this time-Atletico only won 2-0-but it did provide another scoring showcase for Koke, who is having a great season.
Atletico Madrid still needs to take on Olympiakos Piraeus in a home match, and Juventus in another away fixture. However, the club is currently situated at the top of Group A, and is likely a shoe-in for knockout stage qualification. Support their goal by stopping by Soccer Box today and picking up a new Atletico Madrid football kit or jersey for the 2014 2015 season. Whether you are looking for a home kit or an away jersey, we've got you covered!
