Diego Simeone’s men slid into fourth with 42 points from 25 games, thanks to goals from strikers Joao Felix, Luis Suarez, and Angel Correa.

Los Rojiblancos trail Real Madrid by 15 points and are three points ahead of Barcelona, who will have a game in hand after their match against Bilbao on Sunday.

The goal would have been a tremendous relief for Felix, who had been trying to gain Simeone’s trust and was just making his third start in Atletico’s last 15 league games.

Osasuna’s best chance came late in the first half, when Croatian striker Ante Budimir sent a header off Atletico’s right post. But Atleti were clinical, scoring twice from just three shots on target in the second half.

Atlético Madrid are fourth with 42 points, three more than Barcelona.

Meanwhile…

Arsenal are interested in a summer deal for Atlético Madrid striker Alvaro Morata, Tuttomercatoweb reports.

The 29-year-old is currently in his second season on loan at Juventus from Atletico Madrid. Juventus are open to signing him permanently.

However, they are reluctant to trigger the £29 million buy clause, and prefer to sign him for a significantly lesser fee of around £12.5 million.

It is unclear whether Los Rojiblancos will accept the proposal. Amidst this, it is claimed that the Gunners ‘like’ Morata and could make a summer move.
