In its most devastating and electric version, the Atletico Madrid reaffirmed with a splendid game against the Valencia, a team that he overwhelmed from the first second. Simeone’s men overwhelmed the Che team thanks to the goals from Griezmann, Carrasco and Lemar in order to consolidate the third place and stay five units from the second position of the Real Madridwaiting for the Clásico this Sunday against the Barcelona.
Since the World Cup this team is another, especially in the Metropolitan. He was noticed from the first minute with a crowd that seems to finally be one of the team again. The team of Simeone. Antoine Griezmann He made the first and celebrated it with the famous celebration of his first spell at Atlético. The Frenchman has returned to the best version of him as a rojiblanco.
Valencia tied, but the WAS called Munuera Montero to order. Hugo Duro’s goal did not go up on the scoreboard for a lack of Foulquier about Depay at the origin of the action. With that decision the few options of the Valencians died. The team fell apart and Mamardashvili prevented the score from ending 2-0 at halftime.
Second electric act of the rojiblancos
It did not worry Atleti: the second part was a lesson from start to finish. Carrasco He made the second of his own as soon as the game resumed. The Metropolitan had a good time: the team triangulated and recovered with intensity. Cholo’s changes sentenced the game: they entered Morata and Lemarand after two minutes they starred in the great goal of the night.
The new captain of the Spanish team got away from Foulquier with two big cuts and put a ball on a tray for Lemar for the Frenchman to finish off the third and final goal of the match with a header. Valencia was able to cut distances by means of Samuel Linbut luck did not accompany a team that tomorrow can enter the relegation zone if the Getafe scores against Sevilla.
Another night of goals and game festival at the Metropolitan for an Atleti that continues to enjoy this final stretch of the campaign. While Valencia, which celebrated 104 years of history this Saturday, already sees the ears of the wolf with a scary descent that forces them to add away from Mestalla.
