(Laliga 2023/2024): Highlights ATLÉTICO MADRID - CELTA

Heading out at the Metropolitano, where habitually Atletico win. Will they today? The fans hope so, and they are welcoming them with the club anthem ringing out loud and proud from the Atletico fans. The free kick taken quickly, and it's Correa as they caught Celta out inside two minutes. I said they had to be attentive, and they were not. They went to sleep. Pablo Barrio gets the ball. Here's Riquelme, forcing the save from Guaita as they get away down the left from Gjallarhorn. It's controlled by Riquelme. Now Correa again, moving over to the left, flicks it inside for Lido. They've succeeded so far as Koke launches it long through the middle for Llorente, who's got him behind in a poor finish. Well, something broke down defensively there because Llorente was totally unmarked, was spotted by Koke. The changes of the manager, to change some players, or the attitude of the whole team. They've got four coming forward here as Beltran finds Bamba. It's Aspas, and it's Oblak making the save. One of the best chances. Recycled inside for Beltran, who's thinking about the shot, and he hits it well. Parried by Oblak, as Fran Beltran looks for his first goal of the season from a long way. Now picked up by Barrios, dangerously given away. Pablo Barrios lays it for Griezmann. And his first-time strike flies high over the crossbar. Good catch in the crowd. Griezmann couldn't keep it down, but this is the kind of error that... With Jaguar's ball, you know, the close to score the goal. Now here's Memphis looking to make an early impact, going for goal at the near post. Pressure maintained, though, as De Paul clips it for Barrios. Acrobatic attempt tipped over by Guaita. What a goal that would have been on the volley from both of them. But Reynaldo can pick it up. De Paul with the shot that is brilliantly saved by Guaita. More pressure now as Koke swings the corner in. It's flicked out by Nunez to De Paul, and he finds the top corner. What a strike from Rodrigo De Paul. Magnificent. The volley thumped with all his power and precision into the top corner. And finally, Celta's resistance is ended, and even... Despite that, Celta Vigo created some chances in the first half because of Aspas, Beltran, but it's not enough to win the game. So Atletico Madrid, they truly deserve these three points. Yeah, the fact that Guaita was named Man of the Match shows that he was...
