Barrios extends the Atlético season | Soccer | Sports

A goal of Barrios in the 93 minute elongated the season, which lives in a real social and sports loop. It was not a great Atlético party. After a lousy first act, the changes gave him air, at the same time that the physical collapse of Sevilla was exacerbated. The race and the beating of neighborhoods keep the Atlético alive in the fight for the league after the stumbling blocks of Barcelona and Madrid. It has the Catalans to seven points and Madrid, three. They fight for the title, but at least there is something to fight for. The triumph also puts an end to a streak of five games without winning and two painful falls. He was not a brilliant athletic, although he did improve in the second half, when Sevilla noticed the anger of the stands and was prey to his nerves, his physical limitations and a dynamic that can be carried forward to García Pimienta, unable to straighten the fate of a party with his decisions. He won Atlético, who breathes and continues with options, complicated, but real, to fight for the league. By game it does not seem that I can enter that struggle. But only triumphs are worth in this sport.

The Atlético No fuel. Touched by the eliminations in the, it is now a team without a soul, of little football, with the halls of lost identity. A group where players like Molina do not know what to stick to, while figures like Griezmann look out of the retirement. Atlético did not take advantage of an atmosphere in a nerve. Nor does the moment of a Seville very touched after falling into the derby. Football, always capricious, decided to stand on the Andalusian team, dominator and protagonist of everything that happened in the excellent grass of Pizjuán. A team that finally decided to play, with a great level and almost all its players wanting to claim. Atlético pursued shadows during a good part of a first disappointing act. Sevilla, dominator, was advanced on the scoreboard with a goal of Agumé. Atlético, neither played nor played long, with desperate Julian in search of the ball in his center of the field. The Sevilla took advantage, which did not spend any hurry until Badé left braking in a Gallagher boarding school in the Andalusian area. A penalty as clear as absurd that he put Atlético in the game after the transformation of Julián Álvarez.

The tie went up to the scoreboard and only there it remained, which is already a lot. Atlético returned to the streets, touched back, without a spark, dominated by a Sevilla that could get ahead after a great exhausted pass to Akor. The Nigerian striker, who debuted as a starter, found the figure of Oblak.

Simeone rebuilt something to Atlético with the changes. Javi Galán entered through the inoperative Molina. and Sorloth acted as a center striker so that Julian was placed to the left wing. A more compensated team, better distributed in the field, which was at least able to have the ball more criteria before a Sevilla less bonnet. Unlike his rival, the changes did not sit too well. Nor the impressive protest from the stand at 58 minutes. The fans mass requested the departure of the president of Nido Carrasco and the game was even detained for three minutes for releases to the pitch. For megaphony, the fans were requested and the clash could resume.

The duel closed, with less rhythm, more dominance of Atlético and a Sevilla to the backlash. Little by little, those of Simeone were done with the control of all the situations of the game. Saúl and Isaac barely contributed anything in a team that panicked in the last quarter of an hour. Julian began to carbure, very well supported by Riquelme, with Sorloth opening spaces. The tragedy in Nervión was chewing. The stands noticed it. . Nyland saved Julian’s shot with an excellent stop in the 80th minute and every arrival of the rojiblancos became synonymous with danger. Until neighborhoods, starting from the center of the field, led the ball to the edge of the Sevilla area without anyone making a foul. His shot, accurate, beat Nyland and returned to Atlético to the path of triumph. The Sevillista fans paraded while the songs against the president were fueled abroad. “Junior go now,” the fans cried while those of Atlético celebrated their suffered victory.
