Torres outlines recipe to lift Atlético Madrileño

Atlético Madrileño's eight-game winless run continues after blowing a 2-0 lead against CE Europa, with Fernando Torres calling for improved mentality and defensive solidity.

Atlético Madrileño suffered another damaging defeat, surrendering a two-goal advantage to draw 2-2 with CE Europa, extending their winless streak to eight matches. Domenech's early double appeared to have settled the contest, but the team's defensive frailty in the second half allowed a comeback capped by Yousef's 94th-minute equaliser.

Manager Fernando Torres acknowledged the performance gap between halves, criticising his side's loss of intensity and defensive discipline. "We lacked that ambition and character from the first half, and we stopped being effective in our pressing," he said.

The collapse mirrors a troubling pattern: Atlético Madrileño have repeatedly surrendered late leads this season against Nàstic, Real Jaén, Real Zaragoza and Real Madrid Castilla, leaving them hovering near the relegation zone.
