Poor finishing from Villarreal and Atlético resulted in goalless thriller
VALENCIA, 2019, DECEMBER 06 – Atlético de Madrid failed to improve their poor start to the season as they were held by Villarreal CF in an entertaining 0-0 draw, extending their winless streak to three matches.
Diego Simeone was looking to bounce back from the late 1-0 loss to leaders FC Barcelona but failed due to the lack of sharpness in front of goal.
