Stopagge-time Atleti! Cholo's gang keeps snatching it at the death

Believe it or not, Los Colchoneros have netted incredible 13 times this season during the added time

Never stop believing! You can have all the qualities in the world, but a character makes a difference, especially in crucial moments. That's what separates good sides from superb ones.

Others from Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid.

La Liga leaders have collected 12 wins in a row across all competitions, with their last defeat coming on October 27 against Real Betis. After that game, Cholo's side has made an incredible streak, with the latest win being that late 2-1 victory at Barcelona.

Interestingly, that is the 13th goal Los Colchoneros have scored in stoppage time so far this season, which makes them definitely unique in Europe, let alone in Spain.

Not all of them were game-winners, of course, but some did snatch all three points for Atleti: Angel Correa vs Athletic Bilbao (1-0) and PSG (2-1), Jose Maria Gimenez vs Leipzig (2-1), Julian Alvarez vs Celta (1-0), Antoine Griezmann vs Sevilla (4-3), and Alexander Sorloth vs Barcelona (2-1).

Angel Correa's late home equalizer against Real Madrid (1-1) earned them a point, which now puts them a point above their city rival at the summit.

"The players are ready to compete. The strongest thing we have is the group," explained Cholo after the win against the Catalans.

"We need everyone ready to compete. That's our way of fighting with two monsters like Real Madrid and Barcelona."
