We can’t stop the Colchoneros anymore. Undefeated for nine matches in La Liga, Atlético de Madrid continued their good run this Saturday evening by winning largely at home against Valencia (3-0) during the 26th day of La Liga. The Rojiblancos started the match ideally by opening the scoring thanks to the providential man of the moment, Antoine Griezmann (1-0, 23rd). The Blanquinegros thought they could catch up with Hugo Duro but the VAR intervened to cancel the goal (30th). Overall dominant, Diego Simeone’s men returned to the locker room with the advantage.
From the start of the second period, Rodrigo De Paul’s partners made the break with an unstoppable flat foot from Yannick Carrasco (2-0, 49th). Thomas Lemar, returned during the game, came to definitively bend the fate of the meeting with a whim after a millimeter cross from Alvaro Morata (3-0, 67th). In total control, the people of Madrid ended their evening without a hitch. A success which therefore consolidates the place on the podium of Atlético de Madrid, which has a provisional six-point lead over Real Sociedad (4th). Valencia (17th) makes a bad operation in the race to maintain with this setback and can return to the red zone in the event of a victory or a draw for Getafe.
