Pre-match preparations

Atletico Madrid is the fourth team in La Liga. Getafe could outperform Simeone’s side in the last round, and now the Madrid team has to prove that they are still a powerful team. Valencia lost the previous match against Getafe while Atletico could win with only one goal difference.

1st half of the match

As you may know, Joao Felix and Trippier have injuries. It’s a big problem for Simeone, so he has to adapt to new changes. Simeone decided to sit Alvaro on the bench and play two attacking forwards. Atletico’s coach trusted Correa and Vitolo from the start.

Atletico Madrid started the match with high pressure. The team wanted to score in the first minutes of the game, but they could score only in the 15th minute. Real Madrid’s ex-player, Marco Llorente, could score a goal easily. Marco’s scored a goal after the cross in the penalty area where no one could disturb him. Gabriel Paulista was a leading player who had to do something against Llorente.
