Atlético 1×1: Correa was the face, Felipe again the cross

Cloud: In the first minute, Getafe had already searched for a goal. And the Slovenian was able to repel Óscar’s shot. But it was a mirage. If he came into the match with the worst save percentage in Europe, the next three shots would end up in the net. And little can do the five times Zamora. A shot by Mayoral in the small area and two penalties well converted by Unal. He plays without defense and you can tell he is low on confidence on every side ball. He still had a final scare from Maksimovic’s shot.

Llorente: Back in the team after overcoming his third muscle injury of the course and again a patch on the right side, an orphan since Trippier’s goodbye. The signing of Wass promised to free him from that facet, but he was injured at the first change. The ’14’ always adds up and in one of his rises Matheus Cunha’s goal was forged. After his fantastic season last close to the opponent’s box, it’s a shame to see him in that position. With the entry of Vrsaljko he played the last 15 minutes as an inside player. He is a very important player in the team because of his intensity and strength.

Savic: He saw a yellow card very early, when they were only two minutes into the match and two fouls. His return is essential for Atlético to recover solvency at the back, but that alone is not enough. In two games seven goals have been conceded, a bloodletting that does not stop costing the team trouble. A clear ball pumped into the middle was resolved by Felipe in the worst possible way, with a flying kick that cost him a red card. Forceful in the melee.

Felipe: It has been a very difficult season to justify. He raised his leg in a very reckless way and left the team one down for half an hour when the game was being controlled. Incomprehensible decisions in a player who had shown such a level in his first season, but since then he has not stopped going down. Atlético recovered their pair of central defenders at the Camp Nou, but Giménez tested positive for coronavirus and alternatives had to be sought again, where Felipe and Hermoso have had a very weak year. There are many mistakes by the Brazilian this season.

Reinildo: First start as an Atlético player after making his debut at the Camp Nou. Very intense and aggressive in the recovery, he saw Mayoral gain position to finish off Janko’s bitten shot and shorten the score. Especially hard to overcome for any rival with his back, he joined the attack, although it shows that he does not feel so comfortable in that facet, always looking for the safety pass. Simeone opted for the Mozambican in search of stopping the bleeding behind, but there is no way. Several unnecessary faults.

Kondogbia: Like Llorente, as soon as he has been available he has returned to eleven. His mission was to position himself as a pivot and give solvency to the midfield, in addition to freeing the rest of the more creative players. He is very important for physical and recovery capacity. He attempted to break lines on many occasions through driving. Given the level of Koke and De Paul, he can be key this season.

Boil: The presence of Kondogbia should free him from so much work in the recovery, but he is having a hard time building. He can’t manage the rhythms of the game, that what the captain wants is played. And that translates into very crazy matches, back and forth and without control or management in midfield.

Correa: He began receiving the award for best LaLiga player of the month for January and is going for the one for February. He had to start from the right wing, but even so, he did not stop his scoring voracity. He was the smartest to take advantage of loose balls in the box to score Atlético’s first and third goals and put a magnificent pass to Llorente’s climb for the second goal. Today, an Atlético without a Strap in their attack is not understood, no matter how much competition they have up front. Always pay, play where you play. It has to be indisputable.

Lemar: Without Carrasco, down due to coronavirus, the left wing was left for the Frenchman with the need to overflow and play on that side. With Reinildo doubling him up, he could try to get into the game inside and look for that characteristic dribbling with his body. In a defensive help a center touched him in the hand and the referee decreed a penalty. He was able to make up for it with an extraordinary center that Suárez did not finish off, but Correa did at the far post. He needs to have more continuity in the game, to take that responsibility of raising the ball on his back.

Cunha: The first time that Simeone bet on the Brazilian in the League together with Suárez at the starting point of attack as he had done in the Cup and Cunha always responds. Pure intensity and desire, he took advantage of a loose ball to score a new goal in the league. The presence of Suárez allows him to fall more from the second line with a reference ahead. And he started out very active, going backwards, teaming up, starting with power… In the individual section, an opportunity taken advantage of in the 74 minutes he played.

Suarez: A penalty was invented that he could not convert, since Soria’s good hand prevented him from overtaking Atlético very soon. Cunha’s presence freed him from concentrating all the focus of Getafe’s defense, and an aerial ball won at the far post led to Correa’s goal. He was unable to finish off a good cross from Lemar, but luckily for the Uruguayan, Correa took advantage of it at the far post. Substituted after Felipe’s red, surely angry for not being able to take advantage of that penalty or the chances he had.

Fourth goal made by three substitutes

Handsome: He had to enter at match time after Felipe’s red card. He was placed as central in line of four next to Savic when Unal had left the field a few minutes before. And he returned to make a capital goal in the last moments as he had done against Valencia. And on this occasion in an excellent technical gesture, scissoring a loose ball that he had picked up after João’s header. He entered very whole and again he was the hero, something important for his confidence.

Vrsaljko: His entry on the right side advanced Llorente towards the center of the field, forming a more rocky band. He sought to clear every ball that appeared in his area.

From Paul: He entered for Kondogbia, who won the game as soon as he returned from injury. The Argentine is not managing to show that version that he gives with the Argentine team, although the match situation called for his intensity and strength. He put the lateral ball that led to Hermoso’s goal after finishing off João Félix in the first instance.

Joao Felix: He positioned himself as the spearhead replacing Cunha to try to give the team air with one less player. And the Portuguese ended up being the protagonist, putting De Paul’s center headfirst into the area so that Hermoso unleashed madness. Earlier he had enjoyed a chance to get a long pass from De Paul, but it was gone by millimeters. Today he did understand the attitude that the team requested at his entrance, causing fouls, bothering and contributing. Intensity needed to play on this team.

Herrera: Last moments to keep the precious trophy that Hermoso had won.
