Three golden points, that's what we were tonight, were played
in San Mamés. The Atleti risking League, the Cholo no longer hide their cards
and go for it. Winning was the only option for the rojiblancos to stay in the
fight as it was for the Athletic, that victory could certify a European place
and even dream of Champions.
The game started cold with an anesthetic rate of two teams
not wanting not provide any rival. Arrivals were an anecdote; the two teams
were shy in front of goal if they neglected their defensive line. Between yawns
came the worst possible news, at least for Atleti. Ten minutes Godin had to be
replaced again with a thigh injury. Lucas returned to central defense. The
midfield was desolate, and therefore Koke was not participating in the game,
second bad news. Gradually the Atleti began to cheer, the right wing and
Juanfran centers were key.
Griezmann fell to lend a hand in building the game, and as
the connection was not working Koke-Torres decided to take his magic for a walk
in one of his favorite stadiums. The French put a cross heart of the area where
Torres arrived to turn the neck and make the first. The boy, who is becoming
more man in this end of season, so could his ninth goal and his fourth
consecutive day of romance with the goal.
