Atletico Madrid put in a dismal display and succumbed to their heaviest defeat of the season, crashing to a hap-hazard 3-0 defeat at Real Sociedad on Thursday night.

Things started badly, with La Real looking dangerous from the off and it took just 20 minutes before former Real Madrid man and Atleti kryptonite Willian Jose opened the scoring.

Following on from that, Atleti huffed and puffed but looked visibly shattered as the game wore on, shipping two goals to substitute Juanmi in the final...

Atletico Madrid ensured Champions League football will be back at the Wanda Metropolitano next season as they swept aside Levante 3-0 at home on Sunday afternoon.

After a dismal display in Lisbon in midweek it was back to business for Atleti, who never really looked troubled by their visitors and duly took a deserved lead through Angel Correa's first-half strike.

Antoine Griezmann was then harshly judged to have dived as he appeared to be wiped out as he rounded the goalkeeper, but then produced...

Atletico Madrid squeaked into the Europa League semifinals, beaten 1-0 on the night by Sporting Lisbon, but advancing 2-1 on aggregate.

All that money, all that fame, and they still unwind by going for a nice relaxing drive on their day off -- albeit after scoring...

Atletico Madrid kept their grip on second place in La Liga as they played out an entertaining 1-1 draw with Real Madrid at the Bernabeu on Sunday.

While both sides are more focused on their European exploits this term, there was local pride at stake and both sides went for it with Atleti riding their luck with the woodwork and being the recipients of a couple of dodgy offside decisions.

Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring before Antoine Griezmann equalised almost immediately after in what was an...

MADRID -- Three points on the 1-1 draw between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid in La Liga.

1. Stars shine in low-key derbi

In-form forwards Cristiano Ronaldo and Antoine Griezmann were both on the scoresheet as the spoils were shared in a Madrid derbi that saw both teams have at least half an eye elsewhere.

It was billed pre-game as a "decaf-derbi" due to Barcelona's dominance of the title race, with even Atletico president Enrique Cerezo admitting that neither his team nor Real had a chance...
