Hello dear friends today there was a great slaughter of our arch-rivals Real Madrid who were defeated 4-0 from atleticO
madrid, we are very happy about this perchèm tomorrow if we win against Athletic Bilbao will go to only one point by RealAtletico madrid hammered Real Madrid Saturday, 4-0, keeping their hopes of defending
their La Liga title alive. Tiago and Saúl scored four minutes apart
early in the first half as Real Madrid never really got into the game,
with Ronaldo and Bale being largely invisible throughout the 90 minutes.
Los Colchoneros close
the gap between themselves and the league leaders to four points,
completely changing the look of the title race yet again. It's the
biggest victory for Atléti over their rivals since a 4-0 win at the
Bernabéu in 1987, it's also the first time in 22 games Los Blancos failed to score a goal.
Need more examples of just how dominating this performance was? Real Madrid had one shot on target. ONE!
Despite losing Koke to a
hamstring injury in the opening 10 minutes, Atléti's early pressure was
rewarded in the 14th minute when Tiago's blast from the top of the
penalty area skipped off iker Casillas
hands and over the line. It really was a ball that Iker should've
saved, but Madrid will be disappointed that Tiago was allowed to make a
late run into so much space just 20 yards from the goal.
Less than four minutes later, Saúl, who'd replaced the injured Koke, scored a spectacular bicicle kick to double the home side's lead, 2-0. Guillherme Siqueira did the heavy
lifting to help create the chance, working down to the end line before
lifting a short cross back in front of goal. Saúl was given far too much
space and he scored a highlight reel goal that sent the Calderon
faithful into hysterics.
Early in the second half Raúl
García picked up a yellow card -- which wouldn't be a big deal except
for the fact he wasn't in the match. He was on the sideline warming up.
Atléti had a run of chances midway through the second half to put the game away, but no one should get their shot on target. Griezmann tried to match Saúl with a bicycle kick of his own, but the shot went
over the crossbar. Mario Mandžukić had a great chance disrupted by Carvajal and Tiago mishit a brilliant chance in front of Casillas.
But all the pressure was a sign
that Madrid were breaking down. In the 67th minute Arda Turan sent the
ball back across goal with a lovely header at the far post where
Griezmann beat Raphael Varane, one touching the ball into the empty net
to make it 3-0.
Fernando Torres helped put a
cherry on top of the day, setting up Mandžukić in the 89th minute with a
sublime cross to the big striker who hammered the ball past Casillas
for the fourth and final goal.
