Atletico Madrid’s outstanding performances started last season when the whole world saw them winning the Europa League final against Athletic Bilbao.

The Spanish captain also said that an eight-point gap is something which is present at the moment and there is still a long way to go in the league.
While speaking about the gap between his side and Barcelona and while explaining Atletico Madrid’s performance, Iker Casillas said:
“If we are still eight points adrift in December then I could have a less favourable opinion with respect to La Liga. We’ve just drawn with a rival that is fighting for the title, but we can’t rule out Atletico Madrid. It hasn’t surprised me they are so
high in the table.”
Madrid are currently eight points behind Barcelona and Atletico Madrid and a 2-2 at the Nou Camp against Barcelona has assured them that they will have to rely on Barcelona’s results in order to bridge the gap between them and La Blaugrana.
