From Miranda to Godín: head butts for Atlético's history

When Miranda scored at 99 minute matchbegan to change the history of derbies between Real Madrid and Athletic. On May 17, 2013, the Atletico team beat Real Madrid in Chamartín in the final of the Copa del Rey before the delirium of a hobby that lived a magical night. Atlético appeared at the eve of the match, in the previous training, like scapegoat against a Madrid that was better. But Atlético has never stopped believing and in that game they carried that Cholo's maxim.

Framework Cristiano Ronaldo, but Diego Costa tied the encounter went to overtime and Miranda's goal raised him to the altars. A goal that earned a title and served to break a streak fourteen years without winning the Madrid team. Courtois; Juanfran, Miranda, Godín, Filipe Luis; Arda Turan (Onion, 111 '), Mario Suárez, Gabi, Koke (Raúl García, 113'); Diego Costa (Adrián, 107 ') and Falcao they won the final copera. It was the night that Koke put the Atlético flag in the midfield of the Bernabéu, a sign indicating that a new time was coming in the derbies.

From the head of Miranda to Godín. Just a year later, Atlético won the league title in the Camp Nou, against Barcelona, suffering to the last secondor meeting. The decisive game that decided the title did not start well for those of Cholo: Diego Costa and Arda Turan injured and Alexis marked in the 34th minute. But after the break, Atlético managed to draw thanks to a Godín's header that silenced the Barça stadium and filled with hope thousands and thousands of Atlético fans who spread around the world watched the game.

The Camp Nou had a nice gesture to the applaud the league champions once the match ended and the rojiblancos were crying with joy on the pitch. A detail of those that do not forget. Courtois; Juanfran, Miranda, Godín, Filipe Luis; Arda Turan (R. García, 22 '), Tiago, Gabi, Koke; Villa and Costa (Adrián 15 '(Sosa, 72') were the ones who played that historic 1May 7, 2014 at the Camp Nou. And in those two titles were key two defenses who formed a legendary couple at Atlético, Miranda and Godín, whose head butts are history of the Madrid club.
