Valencia vs Atlético Madrid

Diego Simeone thought his men were on the right path when they thrashed a lowly Getafe 3-0 on the opening weekend, only to see them lose 2-0 to Villarreal in ...

Valencia is also in need of a resurgence and will face yet another litmus test in this fixture. Diego Simeone’s charges have stepped up against Los Che in the past and will need to put their best foot forward this weekend. Atletico Madrid has a slight edge over Valencia and has won 23 out of the 63 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Valencia’s 20 victories. Los Colchoneros slumped to a shocking 2-0 defeat against Unai Emery’s Villarreal outfit in their previous game and will need to step up to the plate this week. The home side suffered a damaging 1-0 defeat at the hands of Athletic Bilbao last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this fixture. Both teams have impressive players in their ranks and have a point to prove in this fixture.

Free-kick in a dangerous position for the hosts. Castillejo tries to bend one into the far-left corner, but it is slightly too high and it goes out for a goal-kick. Best chance of the game so far, and it is for the visitors! Morata is put in on goal down the centre by de Paul, and he gets goalside of Diakhaby. Thierry Correia is shown a straight red card for taking out Morata whilst the striker was bearing down on goal as the last man in a clear goal-scoring opportunity. The Portuguese striker waits at the far post, but he fouls Lato in the process and the hosts have a free-kick.

Atlético Madrid won in the first LaLiga battle between Gattuso and Simeone thanks to a lone Griezmann strike.

Played in a functional role on the right of Atlético’s midfield three, then missed a golden chance to wrap the game up at the end — 6. Missed a good chance at the end but did well to kill precious time and maintain attacks, relieving pressure with his ball carries — 6. Not enough attacking output, but that’s also because of the nature of the game and the pressure Atlético were under — 6. Looked very lively in attack and created an excellent chance for Morata to make it 1-0 at the end of the first half, but his strike partner saw his effort saved. Missed a sitter at the end of the first half, but he did work hard as a target man. Fighting first for most of the game and had his hands full with Castillejo, Musah, and Carlos Soler running at and around him.
