Overview
- Atlético’s 2-0 win at Levante produced Diego Simeone’s 344th LaLiga victory, a total the club says he reached in his 565th league match in charge.
- Alejandro Grimaldo scored in the 36th minute and Giuliano Simeone added a second in the 62nd, while goalkeeper Jan Oblak made key saves to preserve the clean sheet.
- The result extended Atlético’s LaLiga winning run to seven matches and briefly put them at the top of the table before Barcelona’s concurrent result kept the title race tight.
- Simeone downplayed the personal milestone and credited players and staff, and the club’s records show he leads Aragonés on wider Atlético measures with more overall wins and two extra trophies.
- Attention now turns to Atlético’s Champions League meeting with Bayern and the LaLiga clash with Barcelona as the next chances for Simeone to make the record outright or for the run to be tested.
