Simeone equals Luis Aragonés' record for most LaLiga wins as coach

Rubén Uría opens his analysis of Levante 0-2 Atlético de Madrid with a stat that overshadows everything else: Simeone has matched Luis Aragonés' 344 LaLiga wins, and in 192 fewer matches. Atleti also go to bed as provisional leaders.

Straight after the final whistle at the Ciudad de Valencia, Rubén Uría went over the match on 'El Club de Uría': Atlético de Madrid beat Levante 0-2 with goals from Alejandro Grimaldo and Giuliano Simeone. He dwelt in particular on the second goal, which he described as a sensational strike: the team played the ball out from their own box and strung together as many as 14 passes before finding the net.

But the stat Rubén wanted to highlight was a different one. With this win, Diego Pablo Simeone draws level with Luis Aragonés as the Atlético de Madrid coach with the most LaLiga victories, 344. And he has done it, he stressed, in 192 fewer matches than the 'Wise Man of Hortaleza'. "That stat is insane," he summed up.

Uría closed by pointing to the other big news of the afternoon: with this result, Atlético de Madrid are provisional leaders of the top flight, pending the results of their direct rivals.
