Lemar saw the light in Champions. And it is that, its passage through Atlético de Madrid is being strange: in situations, a priori, simple does not appear and when you least expect it awake. Three years ago, the rojiblanco club paid 70 million euros for him, being one of the most expensive transfers in its history. However, he does not finish exploding with a baggage of two goals in three seasons.

In fact, the last one was a goal pass to Griezmann against Valencia, on April 24, 2019; as highlighted by MisterChip. Meanwhile, that een the Cup of Europe He had not given an assist for 25 months (to Griezmann against Bruges).

In his first season at Atlético (2018-19) He played 43 games, where he scored three goals and six assists. In the following season, he could not score or give assists in 29 games played. In fact, his future has always been linked to the transfer markets. Of course, from Atlético they have not tried to sell him this summer.

His last goal pass can activate him to meet his best version, that of the Monaco. In addition, Simeone has always shown her that he has earned her trust: “I am going to death with my players until the end. Lemar is working to improve. In Vigo he played an important game and in Munich he did well. Today he had alternatives, with good things at the beginning with others that were not so good, but like the whole team in the first half. I absolutely trust in his quality and in his game. Obviously I will continue to bet on him because he is a footballer of ours and mine is mine until the last day. “
