Koke is sweet and now comes the Seville, their favorite rival since they have scored seven goals in 20 games. If we compare it with its records for other entities, we find that its limit to the same table is three points to the same table. The Seville team has suffered him closely since 2011, where he scored them in his twelfth game as a professional. What started as an anecdote has ended in something everyday.
The streak increased rapidly in the 2012-13 season with a whip that made it 4-0 and confirmed his good aim against the Andalusians. Two seasons later, the feat was repeated again in 2015-16 with another one. Far from taking a break, in 2016-17 he did the same in a 3-1, where Griezmann also scored.
The last antecedent was in 2019 to open the light in a match that ended with the score in a draw (1-1). The nine victories, eight draws and three defeats make Atleti have a very positive balance. Lopetegui is called to break the streak, but it is far from easy.
Simeone's men have 38 points and have only lost against Real Madrid. A painful defeat as it is the eternal rival but which also reflects all the merit that this streak has. LaLiga is the most favorable in recent years. Despite the fact that Simeone focuses on “game by game”, the truth is that the sensations are unbeatable.
His best moment
Koke is being one of the great architects of this Atlético de Madrid. The rojiblanco goes from less to more and is one of the general captains of the project. The balance he gives to the squad is vital for defensive safety and the chances that are generated upstairs. All this has led to his return to the national team.
At the beginning of 2021 he wanted to send a message of encouragement to the fans: “A very hard year is ending, in which a terrible pandemic transformed our lives and our sport. In 2021 I ask you for health, hope, new challenges … and to be able to celebrate success with the people I love, looking only forward. I sincerely hope to see you all very soon in the Metropolitan, to meet again at our home. Great moments await us “.
