Morata has the poison and Joao Félix, the periscope: Atlético overwhelms Getafe

• Narration and statistics This is how we tell you

The sun was still shining beautifully at the Coliseum when Álvaro Morata uncorked the champagne.

Or the bottle of water, which was almost more appreciated.

In his first shot, with a hit with his left foot and at the first touch, after a lightning connection between Lemar, Saúl and Joao Félix, he hit the first official target of the season for this Atlético that seems to be rock and roll.

With his long-sleeved shirt, oblivious to the fierce August thermometer, he won the battle against his head with that accurate blow.

The being or not being of every striker is the goal.

And Morata, as he already pointed out in the preseason, as he signed in the corner where he took his first football steps as a child, is Atlético's goal today.

His second bite left no doubt.

It is for the happiness of

It was a big party day in Madrid, in honor of the Virgen de la Paloma, and that's why the box at the azulón stadium was buzzing.

They tried to show some of that essential chemistry for the destiny of their team.

More than one interrupted their vacations before time (or delayed them) to receive the first dose of that football that is already beginning to be serious.

Although some retouching is still missing and surprises appear.

For what came after, until the break appeared, it can be thought that the goal was a kind of condemnation of the visitors.

The goal, moreover, had been the only shot in all that sunny first act that Morata illuminated even more.

Because that changed the rictus of Getafe, which was appearing in the

area more than Simeone would have liked.

That line of three, with

The striker won the position from Molina, impetuous at the top and still to be polished at the back, and ended up kissing the red-and-white crossbar.

Atlético once again seemed contemplative and satisfied with their little booty, a sin that continues to float in the air.

Simeone threw his hands to his side and snorted when, just dawning the second act, after a blur by Koke,

and Ünal himself to show off some of that lethal toxin that this version of Morata has plenty of.

A tremor from Getafe and another flash from Joao Félix, with whom he has set up a partnership doomed to success, was enough to send the Soria squad the second ball that appeared from their boots.

To the left again.

If his head works, his foot is a cannon.

Griezmann's awakening

The forcefulness, that word that Simeone likes to pronounce so much, is once again the secret of the success of a team that was enough with three slaps to send Getafe to the canvas again, as has been the norm since Cholo arrived at Athletic.

There are 18 wins and two draws in 20 games.

Mayoral lacked forcefulness, still with minutes to turn the script, and Griezmann had more than enough, whose goals were scarce in a past season that was a nightmare for him.

On the run, after Joao Félix's third assist, sublime and decisive, as expected, the rojiblancos lowered the curtain.

Antoine would not embrace his double due to a reflex gesture by Soria, who inadvertently spit out the room.

Everything that Atlético sent to Soria's goal ended up exploding.

None of Getafe's seven occasions managed to melt Oblak.

Because, despite the occasional slip back, the rear is once again a safe place on which to build something exciting again.

He already felt it in the preseason, with that only goal conceded in the four friendly matches they played.

With a summer afternoon of partying, Atlético showed its claws to the world and went home, not only happy and content, but as a brilliant co-leader alongside Villarreal.
