Joao Félix is ​​still in a trance: he illuminates the path of a great Atlético with another double

• Direct Narration and statistics

For Joao Félix, El Sadar is on the way to becoming a personal sanctuary.

Four goals in two visits.

And, also, four crushes in this magical week for him.

Without that poker, the present and the future of Atlético would be very different.

Between the walls of the renovated Navarrese stadium, the Portuguese uncorked again, despite missing a penalty that would have prevented his team from hot flashes at the last minute.

In the end, it was the same.

The rojiblancos, with two games less, continue to appear in the attic of the classification.

With Joao believing himself the star of a team taking off.

The transition thing seems to be a thing of the past.

In his stadium, the red Osasuna jerseys run as if the voices of his people were booming in their heads.

A kind of ecstasy with which they receive their visits.

This is how they welcomed Atlético.

Pushing the rojiblanco team against their goal.

Erasing at the stroke of the lung any hint of a smile in Simeone's boys, who have been meeting a challenge every three days for two weeks in a row.

The one they found on Navarrese soil was no less.

was clear that to throw down the team with the least thrashed in the Primera (two goals in seven games) many virtues are necessary, among them the fact of not failing physically or mentally.

Without pure strikers on the pitch, with

regaining his strength,

in the process of recovery and

... Saponjic, on the bench, without further ado, Atlético had to come up with another plan that was quite different from the usual one.

Neither

nor

have the gift of lowering balls for the arrival of their teammates from the second row.

So, escorted by

and

, back to ownership a month later, they redesigned the way to attack Osasuna's goal.

As there was nothing to do bypass, the solution was at grass level.

Always, yes, with the corner of the eye focused on Oblak.

Because each Navarrese start threatened demolition.

Unfortunately for the locals, it was only a threat.

A

, questioned in recent games without a natural respite to give him some respite, he had to

deal start with

, on

loan from Lazio, sharp whose centers put the willies in athletic rear with back Giménez after fully recovering from Covid-19.

If

had holed

one of those shipments, one meter from Oblak and without opposition, perhaps the history of the party would have been very different.

But Atlético took out the umbrella and rummaged in his pocket until

spotted Vitolo's gallop, who intelligently took a penalty from

, when the break was already looming.

And there the young Portuguese appeared, with the mettle of a veteran, to sign his third goal of the week with a dry shot close to the post.

For the rojiblancos the doors of heaven were suddenly opened.

And that's how Osasuna must have felt it too because after the break, with the score against, nothing was the same again.

Koke's engine room

Atletico landed delicate and elegant after the break.

If at the time of the game he had not thrashed his rival, it was due to a strange alignment of the stars that led to an eclipse of aim.

Joao Félix sent a second penalty to the post, after

hand

, which

, on empty goal, did not hit either.

Next would come two more from the Argentine, one spit by the post and the second by Herrera.

And as a culmination,

, hand in hand, crossed the rojiblanco destiny.

There are things that just happen.

There is no point in looking for an explanation.

What does have it, with a name and surname, is the cause of that avalanche of football.

drove and saw things in that time that only he can see.

His teammates, however, did not thank him with goals.

But when in doubt, nothing better than finding a certainty.

And right now there is no one greater than Joao Félix.

The Portuguese galloped off with Correa, looked up and a flash illuminated Pamplona.

As a few months ago, after the stoppage due to the pandemic.

Only now Atlético is no longer understood without him.

shrunk Simeone's heart for a while, until

, with a cannon shot, buckled the party.

Another one for an Atlético in eruption.
