• Chronicle: Barça stalks Atlético with a vintage win in Anoeta

  • Atlético.Oblak also knows how to win titles

  • First Classification

This very bizarre League, even beautiful sections, and that Atlético has taken to one of their favorite fields, that of extreme survival (1-0), reached one of its culminating moments in the most unexpected place.

And in full harassment of a Barcelona unleashed and monumental (1-6) against Real Sociedad.

How much had been written about the poor draw on

Jan Oblak's

penalties

.

An exemplary goalkeeper, but unable to sustain demons that only appeared when the opponent planted the ball from the eleven-meter wall.

It had been three years since a maximum penalty in the championship had stopped.

And in memory, the unbearable torture of the batches, in which he was only able to stop one shot in 26 duels in the sun.

How to forget the European night of San Siro against Real Madrid.

That is why the penalty that Oblak stopped

Joselu

this Sunday

in the 86th minute transcends the mere capital action.

Redemption, who knows if the League, was recreated in his left hand.

“Nobody understands penalties very well.

Lately I did not stop any [10 in a row].

It was fundamental.

Oblak's words, beyond the confessed incomprehension, transferred to

Simeone's

suffering

, who only needed to take out the rosary.

His Atlético is guessed the anxiety typical of someone who fears losing their advantage.

Although, unlike in Europe, in the League it is enough for him to reaffirm himself in his realities.

Like Luis Suárez, twilight in the Champions League, but decisive in the domestic tournament (19 goals after scoring the winning goal against Alavés).

Or like that incipient association between

Trippier

and

Llorente

.

As much class as the craving for titles.

Messi's record

Who never stopped being hungry is

Leo Messi

.

At 33, the day he became the footballer who has played the most games for Barcelona (768) guided the display of his team in a once hostile territory like Anoeta.

Messi does not need to run.

And sometimes, not scoring all the goals either.

At the Reale Arena, where he took two, he only had to think faster than the rest.

In his head, of course, there is always the path that Alba opens for him, once again the forerunner of a good part of the many goals.

But Messi also attended this time to the American

Dest

, who made his debut as a scorer in the League.

The American was not satisfied with one.

Caught a couple.

It was his great night in a Barcelona that showed his best level in years.

And where

Griezmann

and

Dembélé

, finally, have managed to find their place in a group that also proudly displays the La Masia flag (

Ilaix

and

Riqui Puig

).

Those of

Koeman

, four points behind Atlético and after threading their ninth victory at home, press in a chase from which Real Madrid, six, does not hang up.

Benzema, at his waltz rhythm, looks askance at Suárez and Messi.

30 points remain at stake.

Also a classic in Madrid (matchday 30).

And a Barcelona-Atlético three steps from the end.

There is nothing.
