Continuation and end of the seventh day of La Liga. After the victories of Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and Athletic, Atlético de Madrid had no room for error this evening during their trip to Galicia. Opposed to Celta de Vigo (9th in the ranking), the Madrilenians were obliged to win to regain third place in Bilbao and stay in contact with the Merengue rival. Note that for this match, Diego Simeone had a little pleasure by starting his son Giuliano.

But the Colchoneros did not really enjoy the meeting. It’s simple: the first period was totally boring. Very few chances to report, the ball having difficulty getting out of midfield. At the break, the two teams were logically 0-0. We finally had to wait until the 90th minute to see Julian Alvarez score the second goal of his career for the Madrid club. Enough to offer victory to his team (1-0). In the standings, Antoine Griezmann’s teammates are back on the podium, Celta falls one notch to tenth place.
