Atletico Madrid 3-1 Valencia Three more goals against Valencia
Diego Simeone‘s Atletico Madrid They’ve always been labeled a boring look, but for now, it couldn’t be further from the truth.
It’s a shame it’s one of the most entertaining Athletic teams in years must play against an empty Wanda Metropolitan Stadium.
His 3-1 victory Valencia Sunday night was a test that, with Luis Suarez i Joao Felix around, they are always entertaining.
Not many were expected Valencia to take the lead on Wanda, let alone do it in such an amazing way.
Uros Racic opened the scoring in the first half with an unstoppable curling stop from a distance that tipped into the top corner, well off Jan Oblakabast.
Athletic he hadn’t scored a corner all season before Sunday and, after going through it closely José Giménez, Joao Felix touches the place from Thomas Lemarthe cross. It was an unorthodox end for the Portuguese, but it did the job.
There was a controversial moment in the first half when Maxi Gómez it seemed to slide Lemarthe leg below him in the Valencia penalty area. The referee did not give any penalty Ricard de Burgos Bengoetxea.
Mario Bell he is proving to be the very useful player for Atlético when it comes to playing in the back. Its the perfect long pass for inches Joao Felix caused the movement that led to Luis Suarezgoal.
If there was a problem finding a replacement for the suspended Kieran Trippier, Yannick Carrasco at least provided a demonstration of what he can do in the second half. The Belgian played on the far right and performed much better than Sime Vrsaljko did in the first part.
