• 3-3 in Mestalla Narration and statistics

  • Classification Atlético, fourth with 23 points

Seven minutes to destroy 13 years of statistics. Valencia was able to undo Atlético in two blows when it could barely hold on during the previous 90s. The roar of Mestalla dwarfed the rojiblancos, asleep on the laurels of a comfortable match, with hardly any shocks that seemed impossible to escape them. Since 2008 they had never wasted an advantage like this and

José Bordalás'

team did not seem

capable of wiping it off until

Hugo Duro

appeared

to score two goals that save a point and feed the soul.

Talent has limits. Faith, strength and conviction, no. Or so it seemed. The genius was on the rojiblanco side, so Bordalás instilled in his men the survival instinct as a fundamental value, which for many minutes jumped into the air before the indomitable talent. That of

Luis Suárez

, whom Valencia allowed to live where he likes best, very close to the area, and that of

Rodrigo de Paul

,

Ángel Correa

and

Antoine Griezmann's

trident

.

Joao Félix does

not find a gap

in this eleven and a few minutes were enough to understand why.

The Argentines amassed the game until they found the crack in the reinforced concrete of the Valencian center of the field and a few others for Griezmann to take out his hat.

Valencia had taken refuge in his obsession with being small.

He sank in his field to the edge of the area and, without breaking a sweat, Atlético became the master and showed that patience was not running out.

Acceleration and 0-1

And that suffered the setback of

Kieran Trippier's

collarbone injury

. Correa tested

Jasper Cillessen

,

Gonçalo Guedes

replied

with a shot from the front, but nothing was disturbing. The moment he accelerated, he would strike. And it happened like that. De Paul stole, leaned on Correa and

Luis Suárez

offered himself to, just by placing his body, breaking

Mouctar Diakhaby

and overtaking the rojiblancos.

Griezmann was able to fatten the scoreboard with a high header at the edge of the break, from which Valencia returned more intoning but with the same problems in attack.

So many that the tie was scored by

Stefan Savic

in his own goal after a Guedes cross-shot that

Jan Oblak

could not stop

.

It was the first goal that a Bordalás team endorsed one of

Diego Simeone

and it was not even scored by its players.

The rojiblancos were enraged when they saw how a rival they had tied up was resurrecting them.

It was a mirage that a French genius killed by stealing the ball from

Uros Racic

and

Hugo Guillamón

in the face

and, from their field, rushing towards the front to score the second with a left-foot flag.

More enthusiasm than football

The third was not long.

He did

Sime Vrsaljko

to a tangle in the box.

Was already.

Atlético dusted off their sleeves, ending the job despite Valencia going with more enthusiasm than football until Bordalás was unleashed.

He deleveraged his team and provided it in attack until a center by

José Gayà

appeared in the discount,

which Hugo Duro sent to the network.

Once again, the captain and his squire on the wing, Guedes, took a foul from Griezmann almost in the corner that ended in a perfect shot from Madrid, uncovered the scoring hero who aimed at Atlético.
