Siete matches separate Atlético from being LaLiga champion. The colchoneros recovered sensations, the road to victory and the goals after beating an Eibar in the Metropolitano that only showed opposition in the first minutes. Without Luis Suárez and Joao Félix, Correa took the initiative of the goal and put the match on track.
Atlético needed a game like this to recover positive feelings. It came from losing to Sevilla, drawing against Betis and needing a world to find the rival goal, but Eibar paid for the broken dishes. And that the mattresses did not start well. Very far from Dmitrivovic’s goal, without creating danger on the sides and without being able to tie the medullary, but football is capricious. At the exit of a corner Correa scored and minutes later the Argentine culminated a great play by the locals. New face, new sensations, new illusions and clear ghosts.
Had been Angel Correa protagonist during the week after missing two clear chances against Betis in the final stretch of the match, but football always gives a second chance. And the Argentine took advantage of it against Eibar. First he scored from a corner and then after a great play down the left wing. He has six goals this season and has taken a step forward when Joao Félix and Luis Suárez are missed.
Against Betis he left good feelings but lacked a little more tension in the medullary. Against Eibar, he stepped forward and dominated the midfield with Koke. From his boots the second mattress was born and from his head the first. The Mexican is getting closer to being the footballer who marveled at the opening stretch of the season.
He did not score against Chelsea in two games, nor against Getafe, he did not beat Bono in the duel against Sevilla, Bravo only got one and against Alavés it cost a world. Added to all this were the injuries of Luis Suárez and Joao Félix. Everything was problems in the attack line for Atlético until Eibar visited the Metropolitano. Goleada with the offensive footballers as protagonists. Correa, Llorente, and Carrasco gain confidence for the final stretch of the tournament.
In the 53rd minute Atlético already had the match more than on track and in the 58th, Llorente scored the fifth for his team. That bulky scoreboard allowed Simeone to rotate his players and give entry to Torreira, Kondogbia, Vitolo, Dembélé and Felipe. Dates arrive with two meetings a week and the gasoline is becoming more fair. Very important to dose minutes.
Eibar had two good chances in the opening minutes, but Aleix and Kevin missed the Oblak area. The gunsmiths forgave and Atlético no longer gave their rival more options. He left his clean sheet three league games later and improves his defense, a line that had notably lowered its level in recent weeks.
In a season that is being too gray for him, finally I gave it he got on the mattress car. The winger won the race for the title to Hermoso and along with the lime line he was the protagonist. Correa’s second goal passed through his boots and it was a nightmare for Eibar.
