Thriller: Atlético de Madrid

Saul commented as soon as the match was over that they had not entered it as they should. And that was not the first time. The long trip to Moscow during the week may be mitigating this time, but in Valladolid it seemed again that Atleti did not go for the game from the beginning. Let the minutes pass, relying on his defensive strength and thinking that the occasion will come to win 1-0. And he could win, of course. But I can also lose. With the equipment he has, the rojiblancos should be asked for more. Seven goals in eight days are a very rare booty for a title contender.

Approved: Fede Valverde

Based on his insistence on signing Pogba, the main problem Zidane could detect at the end of last season was the lack of vigor in the midfield. From there your bet is understood in recent games by the Uruguayan steering wheel. For some time, virtues were appreciated. But he was shy, playing short, perhaps intimidated by the stage or the company. Little by little he starts to let go. Its deployment, its high pressure, its stride and its arrival in the area make it very useful for the team. His good work and the shortage of midfielders will give him many minutes. Perhaps there was 180 million euros difference between Paul Pogba and Fede Valverde. Maybe the solution was at home.

Notable: Luis Suarez

It may be a long time since he did not score away from home in the Champions League, he may start the season with a few extra pounds, his behavior with referees and rivals may be often reprehensible ... But if you have to win a game, put a Luis Suarez in his life. On Wednesday, with 0-1 before Inter, he was being called. First he hooked a volley in a very difficult position. Then he broke his friend Godín and placed the ball gently to turn the marker around. Last night, Luuk de Jong had forgiven three times for Sevilla. On the first occasion that Barça arrived, the Uruguayan left the defense to find his space and a spectacular Chilean was invented. A big nine still wins games.

Outstanding: Liverpool

Liverpool conquered its last English league in 1990, when it was not yet called Premier League. Next spring will be 30 years old. Too much time for a historic club. After winning the Champions League in May, erasing this cruel statistic has become an obsession for Jürgen Klopp and his own. It has 8 victories in 8 days, the last three by the minimum, not too convincing. But above all he has taken advantage of three completely unexpected punctures of Manchester City to beat him already in eight points. It has to be Liverpool's year in the Premier.
