Diego Pablo Simeone needed a few minutes of solitude and reflection to digest what had happened in Mestalla. To assume what had happened in a terrifying discount time. Minutes in which a victory in the pocket ended up transformed into a blushing blur. So Diego climbed onto the already empty stands and dropped his gaze to infinity. Just after

second goal

, already in the 96th minute, he sought comfort in the visor that covered his bench. Nothing like this had ever happened to him on the Atlético bench. What's more, the last time the rojiblancos let two rental goals escape was in 2005, against Mallorca, in Son Moix (2-2). Just a year ago he had finished his stage as a player in Madrid.

Perhaps Simeone was thinking about that last change. A double substitution that blew everything up. Because the entry of

and

, instead of

and

, coincided with the take-off of Valencia, which was not the first time, thus solving some of their problems. «For me, and I have told my players, they played an extraordinary game. 85 wonderful minutes. The coach made a mistake and the team lost two points because of the coach ”, he blamed himself before the camera of 'Movistar', with Duro's second header still floating in his head. Those "85 wonderful" concluded with that last double movement, in the 87th minute.

Amid the hubbub of Mestalla for the miraculous match, the camera landed on the face of Joao Félix, who has become one of the martyrs of this inexplicable rojiblanco thriller.

It landed (the camera) just as the Portuguese was shaking his lips and glancing at the bench.

«Always the same, always the same!», Seemed to come out of his mouth, perhaps remembering that not even 10 days ago, also in Valencia, only that at

home

, Atlético had yielded a draw with a controversial penalty, already with the time fulfilled.

An explosion of rage for an indigestible draw and, probably also, for those 10 minutes in which, like Herrera, he ended up becoming one of those indicated.

Without De Paul, who signed an exhibition in front of what was his stands, the team evaporated.

13 goals in 12 games

Three goals against for the second time this season.

First it was Liverpool, in the Metropolitano, last night Valencia, in LaLiga.

That dynamite-proof solidity, the hallmark of the rojiblanca defense, seems a thing of the past.

There are seven goals in the last four league games (he bolted his goal against Betis last Sunday), for a total of 13 in 12 games.

There are six goals conceded in the four nights of the Champions League and five in the two rounds against Liverpool.

Since May 8, with that scoreless draw at the Camp Nou,

not returned to Madrid unbeaten.

There are seven meetings linking a scratch away from home.

Three more adding those of Europe.

Some striking digits because only a year ago, after their first 12 league games (started in the third), Atlético, with the same players behind, had only conceded six and was one of the most envied walls on the continent. Obviously, his loot was superior: 29 points to the current 23. In that start, in addition, he discovered the formula of the three centrals as the best way to win the title. Since the arrival of Simeone, the rojiblancos have never received so many targets at this stage of the championship. His worst record, 12 on 14/15. Up to four teams (Athletic, Real Sociedad, Villarreal and Sevilla) have conceded less than them. Real Madrid and Espanyol have gotten the same.

It was not the afternoon for

, who accidentally beat Oblak and ended up witnessing the draw.

Neither of

, who ended up in the hospital with a left acromioclavicular subluxation.

Yes it was from

, in his best game since his return, with a goal to remember.

However, his display ended up smeared at the discount.

«They tie us for lack of attention, you have to be alive.

Today is as if we had lost ”, Koke, the captain, made self-criticism after a month to forget.

Between the League and the Champions: two defeats, three draws and one victory.
