Lenglet, the unexpected hero at José Zorrilla
Atlético de Madrid took the lead in the match against Real Valladolid thanks to an unexpected goalscorer: Clement Lenglet. The Frenchman, who had been standing out for his individual performances, scored his first goal with the mattress team at 25 minutes after a corner.
Lenglet, with an inside touch, took advantage of a cross from Marcos Llorente to open the scoring. This goal was special for the Gaul, as it had been two years since he last scored a goal. The last one had been in November 2022, when he was playing for Tottenham Hotspurs.
