Atlético 1×1: Carrasco and Correa define the great game

Atlético took the field to eat Real Sociedad. LaLiga wants and what better way than to go for the games from the start. At 15 minutes he had already accumulated multiple occasions through Suárez and Llorente, who left a fantastic performance despite not scoring, where they were Carrasco and Correa, two other of the great protagonists at the end of the season, the authors of the goals before the break. In the second half the pressure line dropped, but he was able to extend the score on multiple occasions without success with the Uruguayan jammed in the face of goal and ended up suffering a lot with the goal of Real Sociedad. Fundamental victory for the title.

Oblak: The team began by pressing very high, without letting Real breathe, which when it could begin to generate danger was already with the scoreboard against. Stop to prevent Isak from cutting distances for Real before the break with a ball that ended up touching the post before going out. Before he had already had to repel a powerful shot, although centered from the Swede. In the second half he stopped Portu with a ball that had bounced in a very dangerous way. The Murcian also crashed with the stick in the second half. He could do nothing against Zubeldia, who found only a ball in the small area after a corner.

Trippier: A lot of participation from the beginning of the match, pressing very high and constantly stealing when the ball fell to his side. Very intelligent to look for the unchecks of his companions to the space, mainly Llorente and Carrasco. His passes breaking lines are fantastic. Good job also on the defensive aspect.

Savic: Very safe behind again the Montenegrin. Uncompromising in the area, smart to anticipate and strong above. With the ball he has been very calm for a season when trying not to raffle the ball. He cut a shot in the area of ​​Bautista with a great defensive action.

Felipe: Again closing the defensive line ahead of Giménez, who is still physically impaired. He had to be very attentive to the movements of Isak, a faster player who should not be allowed to run when the red-and-white pressure practically took his eleven players to the rival field. When he left the site he made sure to steal the ball and if not prevent the Real player from leaving with an advantage in the race. He has grown in recent games, where he feels much more comfortable being the one who closes the line of three centrals.

Handsome: From the start he started more pulled to the left side, allowing Carrasco to press very high and closing Portu despite being a very fast player into space. In defense, with the team more withdrawn, they closed in the line of three centrals with Carrasco helping on his wing. Without fear to join the attack when he sees it clearly, with power and a lot of security.

Koke: The captain reached 500 games with the red and white jersey in another great match. A full-fledged leader, commanding the pressure, ordering his teammates and preventing the team from splitting up by pulling the lines so high. A lot of judgment with the ball to steal and deliver the best placed teammate. Always a support in the middle, coming down to receive to give criterion to the exit of the ball. He does not stop running. Koke has grown again in the last few games and Atlético notice it a lot. He ended up trying to stretch the team so as not to back down by beating himself up for miles.

Saul: He started the match in the center of the field, close to Koke and forming a line of three together with Llorente with the '8' falling to the left wing. With the ball this season he is having a hard time building his game, but his physique is very important when Atlético comes out as aggressive as they are against Real. His work capacity allows him to close Carrasco on the wing and recover many balls by biting in the middle. He left replaced in a good game, very generous in the effort.

Llorente: Huge heart so that Atlético can stretch and press up. He puts everything, work, physique and an outstanding level with the ball. He does not stop throwing unchecks into space doing a lot of damage to the Real. He put a fantastic ball to Suárez that he finished off from above and in the second he decided to play it in hand-to-hand when he had the Uruguayan only at his side, but Remiro came out the winner with a good save. He assisted Carrasco with his eleventh goal pass of the course. Llorente's great game with extraordinary honor to maintain the intensity of the team at all times.

Carrasco: Awesome end of season. He opened the scoring with a very good maneuver in the area, controlling the ball a bit long and defining very quickly between Remiro's legs. Stretching the team in attack and defense, very high in pressure and throwing the deflection to the counter as soon as he stole the ball. It was noted that at the Camp Nou he had ended up physically exhausted, but he again left a great game.

Strap: The Argentine gives Simeone the work of a gregarious on the wing and the mordant of a voracious forward on the point. Although it is difficult for him to define at times, he crossed his perfect shot against Remiro to score his eighth goal of the season. He saw Sagnan's weakness behind and knew when to jump on the pressure to steal lots of balls. A priceless job that sometimes causes you to get asphyxiated in decision-making in the area. He left replaced again in a remarkable game.

Suarez: First half of superclass despite still stuck with the goal. Back game, very smart pressure and a golden assist for Correa, with great control and delivery at the most appropriate time. He had the first goal of the game in a great delivery from Llorente in the usual play falling to the right wing, but the Uruguayan finished from above when he had everything in his favor. He was also on the verge of scoring a free-kick with a good shot brushing the post. And in the second half he returned to enjoy two very clear occasions, first finishing softly in the middle and then narrowly going toe. He left substituted frustrated by not being able to score.

João couldn't keep the pressure up

João Félix: He entered the last 20 minutes for Correa to also place himself in that position with a lot of freedom of movement at the top, but swinging to the right in defense. With the departure of Suárez, he was placed as a reference above. He left when the team attacked less, but even so it is difficult for him to give a quality jump to the team, his entry is not managing to improve that of the substituted.

Kondogbia: He joined the center of the field to give energy in the second half. La Real scored and the game was very tight.

I gave it: He replaced Suárez to position himself as left winger just before Real Sociedad scored and tightened the score. He tried to block the arrivals of the visiting team unleashed in search of a tie.
