Atlético, Specialist in Heart-Stopping Endings
Atlético de Madrid has become an expert in scoring decisive goals in the final stretches of matches. This season, the Rojiblancos have demonstrated a great ability to resolve encounters in stoppage time, leaving their rivals breathless.
One of the most memorable moments is Sorloth’s goal against Barcelona in Montjuic, which meant a 4-4 draw in an exciting Copa del Rey semi-final match. However, Atlético’s love affair with goals in ‘added time’ began much earlier, specifically in San Mamés.
There, in a very tactical match against Athletic Club, Correa scored the definitive 0-1 in extra time, after a great play by Sorloth, silencing the local fans and giving the victory to the Colchoneros.
Since then, other players such as Giménez, Julián, De Paul, and Griezmann have joined the list of scorers in the final minutes, both in La Liga, Champions League, and Copa del Rey. These goals have not only served to add important points but also to seal classifications and lift the spirits of the fans.
In addition to the goals in stoppage time, Atlético has also settled matches in the last minutes, with goals from Koke, Julián, Sorloth, and Griezmann. Undoubtedly, the team from the capital has earned the reputation of being a formidable rival until the last second.
