• Classification. 30th matchday

The Metropolitan Wanda, like the rest of society, woke up from the nightmare with a good handful of scars. Two flowers and an Atlético shirt on each of the 50 seats today orphaned by that damn virus. He had been rojiblanco for more than 100 days without being able to speak. And last night his first words came out of the stands, where dozens of banners hung from the absent rocks, and a large mural, in the third amphitheater, with a clear message: 'From heaven I will cheer you on.' Antic , Capón , Jones or little Minchola passed through the video marker . As the sun went down in Madrid, it dawned delicately in the place that one day Simeone baptized as a Roman coliseum. Surely everything will come.[Narration and statistics (1-0)]

What resonated from the first moment were Profe Ortega's harangues to raise the pulsations of that revolutionary 11. Up to seven changes, compared to those that mercilessly took Pamplona three days ago, with the kid Manu Sánchez on the left side. They were chosen to win back the third place, which vanished in winter after a draw. In less than a week, the new normality returns to being the normal normality for Atlético thanks to a Vitolo header . His life is not understood outside that pedestal.

It was assumed that Simeone's voice would reach his own without interference in the silence. So what caught the most attention were the screams, relentlessly, of Oblak behind him. The doorman has no one to encourage him, but neither does he need it. When Sergio and his bench, scattered around the stands, howled as soon as they started with Waldo's shot into the squad, Jan waved his glove and, as usual, reset his team's clock to zero.

The attacking midfielder

Atlético's switch came on almost instantly. Morata did it , with a header that whistled to the post of Caro , and also Joao Félix , who has landed in this League expressly convinced that his fantasy can make life life for this team. There was no red and white feint that did not pass near his boots. The same happens with Marcos Llorente . Not only has it been believed that he can be a good attacking midfielder, but he also shows it every time Simeone, the man who convinced him to mutate, releases him near the area. Yesterday he bothered as much as he could, which was enough, for those places so unknown to him, not so long ago. Olivas and Javi Sánchez were entertained. The thing about Lemar , on the other hand, suggests a fluffy couch.

A Sergio González was listened more for its powerful slaps that their voices. The heart distance between him and the Cholo is best perceived in the silence. He did not even flinch when Valladolid, seized by the rival's error, stampeded towards the Oblak goal. Matheus stirred the pulse of his bench with a sharp right hand that the keeper accompanied.

Tangled with himself

The bullets continued to whistle near Valladolid's goal, but there was no trace of marksmanship. As if all the powder had been scorched in the party in Pamplona. And without goals, everything loses meaning. Correa and Costa , who did not skimp on lungs to claim every dubious ball, ended up forgiving twice. Between them, they tried to change the fate of a night that promised a podium, but it came to threaten disappointment.

It seemed that, like so many other times, Atlético would not find the formula. Again entangled with himself. But at sunset, a cannon shot from Thomas appeared , which Caro scared like a devil. And in that corner kick, Vitolo's head, with intrigue and a last look at the VAR, ended up elevating his team to the LaLiga podium. That was what it was about. There's no time to think.
