FC Barcelona tired of winning with Mallorca after Dani Olmo's goal. Just Piurters Hansi Flicka knows how the Tuesday match won only 1: 0. They had a gigantic advantage, but the rivals goalkeeper Leo Roman did a great job. Also one goal from Getfee Real Madrid turned out to be better. Arda Guler hit the net. Atletico Madrid won a much more convincing victory, which faced on Thursday Rayo Vallecano.
Atletico did not disappoint. They maintained the status quo
The favorite of the match at Metropolitano was one and from the first whistle of Judge Fuerts could be felt. The hosts in the 3rd minute gave the goal of Alexander Sorloth, and just before the break Conor Gallagher increased. The same Gallagher, who, on September 22 – after serving Sorloth – hit the net in a drew match at Campo de Futbol de Vallecas. Then the meeting ended with a 1: 1 result.
This time Rayo was not able to oppose rivals from the capital and recorded the fourth match in a row without winning. In the second half, the result was also determined by Julian Alvarez, scoring his 15th league goal this season. For Atletico, in turn, it is a return to the winning tracks after Saturday's defeat from Las Palmas (0: 1).
Winning the hosts means that Atletico has not lost the role of a host from Rayo Vallecano from … October 10, 2001, when he had to recognize the superiority of the rival in the 1/32 final of the King's Cup. Interestingly, a home win over Atletico Rayo has been waiting for a long time – over 12 years.
The last victory was on February 10, 2013, when after the goals of Alhassane Bangour and Leo Baptististo won 2: 1. Radamel Falcao hit Atletico. Already then Diego Simeone was the coach of “Los Colchoneros”.
