Today was everything for Atlético and Atlético. Probably even the team’s most devoted fans weren’t expecting such a charming game from Diego Simeone’s charges. After all, on the other side of the field there was not a confused outsider, but a representative of La Liga in European competitions. The team that finished last season with the second best performance ever. The team that bit Real and Barça, and Atlético himself took points.
But today, “Granada” were too tired, weakened by the rotation and preoccupied with thoughts about the upcoming fight with “Malmo” for the Europa League group. And Atlético had no mercy. Madrid celebrated their first official game of the season and showed that they are doing well.
Even Diego Costa, who was not productive recently, distinguished himself: in the ninth minute he closed the serve of Ángel Correa with his head. Less than ten minutes later, João Félix got a penalty: the Portuguese was trampled in the area. Saúl did not beat Ruy Silva from the “point”, but even so it was clear that “Granada” in this fight did not shine. It’s just a matter of time.
This time X came after the break. Correa scored 2-0 after an exquisite pass from Felix, Felix himself scored after Costa’s dump and good individual work. The feat was done, but not for Luis Suárez, who appeared on the field in minute 70. Only 120 seconds have passed and the scorer has already been marked with effective action. His attendance in Llorente is a demonstration of intelligence and football class. It was as if Luis had played for Atlético for the last six years and not for Barça.
Their motivation inspired the team to launch a second wave of attacks. Later, Suarez won a penalty and was about to shoot, but the referee overturned the sentence after watching the video replay. But he did not discourage the Uruguayan from making his mark in the first match with Atlético. His accurate header after a center from Llorente fits well into the history of football romance.
The “Granada” broke a goal from Molina, but nobody noticed. Everyone has already enjoyed the charity performance of El Pistolero. At 90 + 3 minutes, he scored a double, when he first hit the post with a forehand, then instantly finished it off to the net from the left.
Loaded to win. For goals. We are waiting for the opportunity to play against Barcelona.
