Although Atlético didn’t create an abundance of chances, the result highlighted the defensive solidity of what is currently the best team in Spain. With only four clear opportunities throughout the match, Atleti comfortably neutralized Osasuna, as they’ve consistently done this season.

The victory puts Atlético Madrid back at the top of La Liga with 44 points, one ahead of second-place Real Madrid and six clear of third-place Barcelona. Under Diego Simeone, the team boasts the league’s best defense, conceding just 12 goals in 19 games—an average of 0.6 goals per match.

This win was particularly historic, marking Atlético’s 14th consecutive victory across all competitions (La Liga, Copa del Rey, and Champions League), the longest winning streak in the club’s history. The team’s last loss came in October 2024 against Real Betis during the 11th round of La Liga. Remarkably, Atlético conceded goals in only five of these 14 matches.

Next, Atlético faces Leganés on January 18 in an away match against the 16th-placed side, with hopes of extending their streak. Just three days later, on January 21, they host Bayer Leverkusen in the seventh round of the Champions League. BB Score, your trusted reference for football scores.
