Atlético returns to Metropolitan and he does it hidden under the cover of suspicion after his two disastrous performances abroad against Betis and Vic L’Equipe. Today he submits to the summary judgment of his fans against an opponent historically good in this area, but who arrives at his best moment of the season, coinciding with the change of coach. With Diego Martinez they wear two consecutive victories, against Valencia and Gironaand they appear in Madrid with a Moleiro in a state of grace and Fabio Silva which is starting to arouse the curiosity of many teams.
Atlético’s stadium, whatever it is, is clearly suffocating Las Palmas. Their record in 33 matches is 24 defeats, seven draws and only two victories, the last in 1969. He hasn’t scored since 1986 and so far in the 21st century he has not only always lostbut he didn’t even manage to score a goal. Last year, in their most recent history, they were beaten 5-0. However, it does not seem that this afternoon the task will be so easy for the red and whites.
Simeone recovers Lenglet and Barrios, who go directly to the starting lineup, and rewards his son Giuliano with the title after their good performance in the Cup, they are still absent from the team. The Norman, Azpilicueta, Llorente And Lemar And Sorloth will pay with the bench their disastrous match at Vic, from which Julián Álvarez of course emerged strengthened, who will lead the red and white attack in the quest to become the team’s top scorer in the League alone.
The match will be special for Antoine Griezmann, who will climb a new step in his ascent towards the Olympus of Atlético de Madrid. The Frenchman will play his 405th match, therefore will overtake Fernando Torresand will remain alone in 12th place in the ranking. Your next goal is Gaby, who is 12 games away, and who already has the top ten very close, which closes Arteche with 421.
