Atlético: A feast of goals against Valladolid
Atlético de Madrid finds in Valladolid a favorable opponent to unleash its goalscoring power. Ten of the 21 field players in the current squad have already scored against the Pucelano team in the last five encounters, demonstrating that the goal can come from any line on the field.
Names like Llorente, Giménez and Lenglet, usually dedicated to defensive tasks, have also tasted the goal against this rival.
Since that triumph at the Metropolitano in the 20-21 season, with goals from Lemar and Llorente, other players such as Correa, Molina, Julián Alvarez, De Paul, Sorloth and Griezmann, the latter with a double in his first stage and a great work of art in Pucela, have also added their names to the list of scorers.
Even defenders like Hermoso and Godín have joined the goalscoring party. This statistic reveals that Valladolid, historically, has been a rival that allows even defenders to dress up as scorers. With Galán, Koke, Giuliano, Gallagher (Le Normand, Witsel, Reinildo, Riquelme and the injured Lino complete the list of those who have not scored), there is a new opportunity for the squad to demonstrate that, against Valladolid, the responsibility for the goal is a collective matter.
