Atletico Madrid continues their pursuit of securing a UEFA Champions League qualification berth this season following a hard-fought 1-0 victory away at Mallorca.
With the season entering its final stages, Los Rojiblancos find themselves in a battle for a top-four finish, a task made challenging by their recent inconsistent form.
Nevertheless, despite the mounting pressure to maintain their top-four standing, Atletico Madrid maintains a crucial six-point lead over their fifth-place rivals, Athletic Club.
Rodrigo Riquelme’s early goal proved decisive in Palma as Atletico Madrid persevered to claim three vital points on the road.
With four league fixtures remaining, Atletico Madrid holds their Champions League destiny in their own hands as they look ahead to securing qualification for the 2024/25 season.
In their upcoming league encounter, Los Rojiblancos will face Celta Vigo, currently embroiled in a relegation battle. Despite facing challenges at the Estadio Metropolitano this season, the current league standings favor Atletico Madrid for another Champions League berth.
