Part 6/7:
Reflecting on Atlético Mineiro’s season as a whole reveals a troubling trend. With each passing game, it became clear that the team was grappling with mediocrity. Even after progressing to significant competitions, their performance in the domestic league remained dismal, which brings into question their efficacy as a contender in elite matches.
Notably, the team has gone eleven games without a win, raising alarms about their future prospects in the league. With only two rounds remaining, they remain at risk of relegation—a stark difference from their usual position at the top of the league. The urgency to win becomes paramount not only to salvage their current campaign but also to restore faith in a team that has fallen from grace.
