First defeat of the season for Atlético de Madrid, and it is significant. Traveling to Valencia this Saturday, on the occasion of the 5th day of La Liga, Diego Simeone’s players suffered the harsh law of their opponents of the day (3-0). Picked cold from the 5th minute of play after a goal from Hugo Duro, the Madrid club once again had to give in 30 minutes later under the onslaught of the same Duro.
An evening made even more difficult after the evacuation on a stretcher of Thomas Lemar. Returning from the locker room, young Javi Guerra consolidated the advantage of the Che club by scoring the third goal of the match. With this defeat, Atlético is now in 7th place in the La Liga standings. Valencia carried out a superb operation on its side by gaining 6 places, and temporarily repositioning itself in 5th position.
