Ponferradina is a team that plays in the Segunda Division, the second tier of Spanish football. La Deportiva – nicknamed Ponferradina is currently 18th in the ranking list for the 2022-23 Segunda Division standings.
Having just collected 21 points from 5 wins and 6 draws from 20 matches, Ponferradina is far from Eibar, who tops the standings with 36 points. If it doesn’t improve, Ponferradina can enter the relegation zone.
Even though the World Cup was in progress, La Ponfe was still busy competing. After a goalless draw against Levante on 9 December, David Gallego’s men won 1-0 over Lugo thanks to José Naranjo a 34th minute goal on 11 December.
On the other hand, Atletico have just started the game again after a long break since the Qatar World Cup started. The last match took place in the first round of the Copa del Rey on November 12, Atletico won 0-2 over Almazan through goals scored by Angel Correa and Joao Felix.
The 2020-21 La Liga champions did not perform optimally in the premier league ahead of entering the 2022 World Cup. They lost 7 points because they lost 3-2 to Cadiz, 0-1 to Mallorca, and drew 1-1 against Espanyol.
Atletico Madrid was also eliminated from Champions League group B because they only collected 5 points from 6 matches. Los Rojiblancos didn’t even qualify for the Europa League because they were ranked lowest (1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses), losing to Porto, Club Brugge and Leverkusen.
While the position in La Liga is also quite worrying because Atletico are still stuck in 5th place with 24 points from 14 matches. Diego Simeone’s army is 13 points adrift of Barcelona who lead the standings, but there is still hope for Atletico to enter the top four because Real Sociedad and Bilbao are only 2 points apart.
