Victory was almost obligatory this evening for Atlético de Madrid. The Colchoneros played the last match of the 30th day of La Liga this evening at Villarreal. A meeting with high stakes since in the event of success, Diego Simeone's men could regain fourth place (synonymous with the Champions League) from Athletic.

Everything started perfectly for Antoine Griezmann's partners with the early opening score of Axel Witysel (9th). But at the start of the second period, Alexander Sorloth cooled the Madrilenians by equalizing (50th). The bad operation became clearer for Atlético before Saul Ñiguez delivered his own in the 87th minute. A forceps success which therefore allows the Matelassiers to be fourth, seven points behind Girona, but two lengths ahead of Athletic.
