Spanish La Liga 2025-2026 25 2026-02-21 2026-02-21 https://r2.thesportsdb.com/images/media/event/thumb/x9goh51751450232.jpg https://www.thesportsdb.com/images/media/event/poster/27eqqm1774793100.jpg Atlético Madrid enters Matchday 25 of La Liga under pressure to revitalize their domestic campaign at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano. Diego Simeone's side has navigated a turbulent period, managing only a single point from their last three league outings, including a heavy defeat to Rayo Vallecano. While their midweek Champions League draw against Club Brugge showed flashes of offensive potential, defensive lapses remain a concern for the "Colchoneros." Standing in their way is an Espanyol side that has proven difficult for Atlético to overcome in recent years, including a victory in the reverse fixture earlier this season. With Alexander Sørloth and Antoine Griezmann leading the line, the hosts will prioritize an early breakthrough to settle nerves and keep pace in the race for the top four. 2279636
