It doesn't work out for Antoine Griezmann. In a bad pass, the Frenchman, who was even whistled when he appeared at the Metropolitano, had the opportunity to redeem himself this Monday evening with his supporters. Unfortunately for him, his ordeal continued.
Standing for the reception of Valladolid, “Grizou” was rather discreet and missed the little opportunity he had to put himself under tooth. Unable to find the flaw since February 25, the fabulous 4-4 against FC Barcelona in the King's Cup, the 2018 world champion was replaced at the time of play. This time, the public spared him the whistles.
This dull performance of the tricolor striker did not prevent Atlético from imposing himself quite quietly (4-2). Runny until the visitors' opening (21e), the Colchoneros woke up and quickly equalized on a penalty, too, transformed by Julian Alvarez (25e).

In the process, Giuliano Simeone gave his own advantage (27e). Upon returning from the locker room, Valladolid, little inspired offensively, nevertheless managed to pick up the mark of a strike from afar (56e). Once again stitched, the Madrid were quick to take over the lead.
On a new opposing error and a new whistled penalty, Julian Alvarez offered a double (71e). At its own pace, Atléti then made the break through Alexander Sorloth. With this victory, the men of Diego Simeone comfort their 3rd place in the ranking, and return to seven lengths from Barça and three from Real.
