The good business. Thanks to its victory on the field of Celta Vigo (0-3), its fifth in a row in La Liga, Atlético Madrid comes back to three points behind Real, leader held in check in Seville (1-1) during this 10th daytime. The Matelassiers were able to count on a great Antoine Griezmann, author of his third hat-trick in the Spanish championship: a penalty (29th), a lucky goal (64th) and a strike from the left on a cross from the Argentinian Nahuel Molina (70th) .
“I wanted to center, so I asked Alvaro for forgiveness [Morata] “, recognized “Grizou” about his second achievement. After a magnificent comeback, the Mâconnais slipped when serving the Spanish center forward. The shot resulting from this “error” completely deceived Vicente Guaita, the Galician goalkeeper who entered in the 28th minute, after the expulsion of the holder Iván Villar.
He overtook Luis Suarez
At 32, the 2018 world champion has become the fourth top scorer in La Liga, with 181 goals, overtaking Luis Suarez (179) according to statistician Opta. Not bad is not it ? It’s French.
Now it’s time for the Champions League: Atlético, co-leader of its group with Lazio Rome after two days (one win, one draw) travels to Glasgow on Wednesday to face Celtic, beaten in the first two matches.
