1×1 of Atleti: Correa and Llorente thrashed; Lodi and Herrera shine

Oblak: He hardly had work and returned to leave a clean sheet, something that reinforces him in the first place for Zamora. He made no stops.

Trippier: He was able to enter the eleven after having been touched in the game against Betis, where he had to be replaced due to lumbar discomfort. He looked a lot for that pass to space to uncheck Llorente that has given so much revenue to the team this season. He also tried it with Correa and Saúl, but with '14' he is the one with which he is best understood. He put the center corner that led to the goal that opened the scoring. Atlético focused their attacks with Lodi on the left wing.

Savic: Very serious forming a pair of centrals with Giménez, in a classic rear at 4-4-2. He was about to score on the ball combed by Herrera, but it was Correa who introduced him to Dmitrovic's goal. He left a fundamental cut where he could hurt himself, so Simeone, with the game sentenced, sat him down to give Felipe minutes.

Gimenez: Scoring Kike García is always a headache for any center-back due to his mobility and strength in the air game, but the Uruguayan was attentive to stop him in the area. A lot of air clearance and you help Lodi, outlined towards his left leg. Good at the ball exit, very calm and with the ability to play long when Eibar pressed up. Good job on the clean sheet.

I gave it: Atlético returned to a defense of four, with Lodi as a pure left-back. Very active when it comes to raising the band and looking for the unchecks to the space in front of the high lines of Eibar. It was an offensive focus the whole game. He had his best partner in Herrera when looking for his movements behind Pozo's back and thus the second goal was generated, with the Brazilian leaving a fantastic control and finding Carrasco on the inside and this one at Correa. Also the fourth was formed with his appearance by the band. A leap forward from the Brazilian.

Herrera: Second consecutive title forming double pivot with Koke, with the Mexican in charge of getting the ball played from behind. Today he is essential in the team, because he has the ability to give peace of mind with the ball and break lines with his shipments into space, trying to find the unchecked of Lodi and Carrasco on the left. He participated in both Correa goals in a decisive way, combing the ball for the Argentine head at the first post and starting the play of the second. Very good 68 minutes.

Koke: The captain looks looser with Herrera at his side, with a partner to start the plays from behind and less responsibility to receive between the centrals. He tried to get into the game a lot, although in the first half it was difficult for Atlético to break lines with passes from behind. With the arrival of the first goal, everything was more comfortable, being able to move the ball with much more speed and space. He was substituted at game time with 4-0 on the scoreboard.

Saul: He started the game by moving to the right wing, but as the minutes passed, he was looking for more and more participation from the inside. He put up a great assist for both Carrasco, finding his uncheck with a precise long delivery that the Belgian masterfully defined. With the replacement of Koke, he formed a double pivot with Herrera and ended up closing the seat belt with Kondogbia and Torreira.

Carrasco: Second consecutive game scoring, this time with a great maneuver that was reminiscent of the one he made to beat Ter Stegen in the game against Barcelona. He controlled a good pass from Saúl dribbling from the pipe to Dmitrovic and dribbled well to Dufur to score on an empty goal. He played as a left inside, with fewer defensive responsibilities than when playing lane, although constantly helping Lodi. On several occasions, as in his goal, he was the reference above to throw off the mark for speed. He also added two other assists, for Correa and Llorente.

Llorente: Back to the team after serving a penalty game and another two goals in his locker, and there are already eleven in the League (plus one in the Champions League). He took advantage of a loose ball in the area after Correa's center to overtake Dmitrovic with category and controlled with his right and finished off Carrasco's pass in the area with his left to make the fourth and fifth of the team. In the first half he had sought the goal with a shot that went over the goal also ahead of his marker, always with one more point of intensity. A lot of mobility as a forward, but also appearing in the center of the field and shot to the right wing.

Strap: Simeone already predicted that his work would end up having the goal award and he did it twice. The first taking advantage of a ball combed by Herrera in the foreground and the second with a wonderful maneuver in the area, receiving from Carrasco, turning and finishing very quickly to overcome Dmitrovic. Very active as a false '9', going down to receive and trying to generate danger in the midfielder where the team had trouble doing damage without Lemar or João Félix. He left replaced at game time to rest with a job very well done.

Simeone was able to rotate and give breaks

Vitolo: With his entry in the 60th minute, he reached 100 games wearing the red and white shirt. They pointed out a fault that did not seem when he stood alone upstairs. He accompanied Dembélé upstairs, but with great freedom of movement to go down to receive and fall to the band. The casualties in attack have reactivated the canary.

Dembélé: Back on the pitch after fainting during training, which had kept him out against Sevilla and Betis. He had half an hour at the tip of the attack. With the result very in favor, the team looked less for the rival goal, trying to delay the result, but the Frenchman tried to stretch the team and throw many unchecks into space that, although they did not find him, allowed the team to combine easier in the middle .

Kondogbia: He supplied Herrera in the middle to put more muscle and strength in the double pivot, forming with Torreira. He calmed down an already controlled game and tried to continue exploiting the Lodi vein on the left wing.

Torreira: He entered with Kondogbia in the middle, in the case of the Uruguayan replacing Carrasco. He came into play looking to combine easy and maintain possession with the game killed by such a wide marker.

Felipe: He had the last minutes in Savic's place. He looked for the shot on goal at the exit of a corner, although his shot went over the top.
