Atlético Madrid won their seventh consecutive league victory against Valladolid (2-0) on Matchday 12 of La Liga and temporarily seized first place ahead of Real Sociedad (24 pts), which faces Alavés on Sunday ( 9:00 p.m.).

The Madrilenians won thanks to a goal from the flat left foot of Frenchman Thomas Lemar (56th), who had not scored since April 20, 2019, then a second from Marcos Llorente (72nd).

They remain the only undefeated team in La Liga.
