Direct Narration and statistics
When you have Luis Suárez on your side, life on the pitch is usually much more pleasant.
That was the main difference between Celta and Atlético.
The Uruguayan killer's left boot, which came after crossing the Atlantic and scoring three goals in two games, all from penalties, hit the mark after a beautiful choreography by his new teammates.
Between Lemar, Koke, Diego Costa and assistant Manu Sánchez, like someone who dances on a billiard mat, they devised a dizzying plan, which Suárez put into practice as usual.
It's just about that.
In five minutes he had ended the athletic drought.
His, too, at the twilight of the win against Granada (6-1), had been the last goal for his team.
It is true that he forgave the second, clearer still, already in the second part.
But the die was cast, because the Celtic barked too much but never came to bite.
In large part, too, because Oblak spread his wings again.
Carrasco, in the twilight, cleared any hint of doubt (0-2).
And it is that Simeone surprised in Balaídos with a different 11.
For the first time he released
Diego Costa
and Suárez together.
The experience lasted until the Spanish-Brazilian broke down, just starting the second act.
This time the assistance in the race could not be
put
to the hole by the Uruguayan.
Costa ended up devastated in the stands by a muscle injury that interrupted his path again, as so many times since he reappeared in Madrid, in that September 2017. For the first time he awarded the stripes to newcomer
Lucas Torreira
, with just a couple of training sessions , whose size (1.68) is inversely proportional to that of their lungs.
Of course, the midfielder arrived asphyxiated at the outcome of the crash.
Nobody would say that the kid just arrived.
With him,
Koke
recovered a good part of that freedom through the center that his team is so grateful for.
From the imagination of the athletic captain sprouted the sharpest impulses of his team at the start.
Lemar
also walked
, in permanent purpose of amendment, whose left-foot at least was noticed from set pieces, even kissing the crossbar.
However, it was Celta who again and again wrinkled an Atlético defense that was never too well ironed.
The speed and mischief of
Iago Aspas
frayed a handful of times what has traditionally been a concrete wall.
In just half an hour, the Vigo, led by their captain, had finished half a dozen times.
And, of course, Simeone's heart was beating at a thousand per hour, seeing the permanent stalking over his goal, and only four days after visiting the Allianz Arena in Munich.
First it was the stick that spat the blow of another debutante, the canterano
Carreira
.
On the left flank,
Olaza
was a dagger.
Later it was
Oblak
who brought
Santi Mina down
, face to face with glory.
But in those lots, in general, the one who rules is the Slovenian meta.
This time it was no different.
Óscar García, from the Celta bench, cursed his luck, while Simeone was relieved.
The final flash of Joao Félix
If the second celestial unit was led by
Emre Mor
and
Denis Suárez
, the rojiblanca was led by Marcos
Llorente
and
Carrasco
.
In a matter of names, despite the surprise escape of
Thomas
Partey, this Atlético also has the upper hand.
Even so, Celta continued in a threatening plan, with a fast game that stunned the rival behind, where
Felipe
was already
.
Precisely the Brazilian left the local team with their hearts racing, after a race with Aspas, whose ankle made them fear the worst.
Everything was a shock.
Just like the second yellow with which the Canarinho center-back flirted.
Atlético never managed to close the game, nor did Celta to change their destiny.
His sin was putting more desire and determination than aim.
The Galicians continued clinging to their Aspas banner, also with their breath, until the clock forced them to digest reality.
The rojiblancos, who started with two ends, finished with
Joao Félix
waving the flag.
A spark of his, already in the discount, ended with Carrasco nodding the sentence.
The difference is made by goals and in that art, few on the planet like Luis Suárez.
Few better remedies than he for drought.
