The defeat to Levante ended the Mattress Makers' three-match unbeaten run at home in La Liga having recorded three successive wins as the hosts.
"We started the match well. Marcos Llorente in midfield gave us everything we needed. Vrsalko played well, and this allowed Marcos to prove himself in the middle of the field," Atletico manager Diego Simeone said after their win over Osasuna.
"Herrera played a great match, Koke was very good. All of them played at their usual level and showed their qualities. We have a clear desire to win. But we were also a little lucky when the ball hit the post. We reacted very well to the defeat in the last game.
"Every season develops differently, life, like football, tests us with various obstacles. This is the situation this season, and we'll see if we can finish the season well."
