Tough setback for Atleti in Getafe!
A bittersweet end to the match in Getafe leaves Atlético with a bitter taste in their mouths. After a hard-fought encounter, the team saw the opportunity to seize the lead slip away in the final stages.
Despite the effort and brilliant moments, Correa’s sending-off and two quick goals from the opponent changed the course of a match that seemed under control. This defeat, the first against Getafe with Simeone on the bench after 28 matches, is a tough blow in the fight for LaLiga, especially with Real Madrid and Barcelona lurking.
El Cholo will have to readjust the team for the next match against Barça, with Correa confirmed to be out and uncertainty about the physical condition of De Paul and Lenglet. The match also featured a particular duel between the goalkeepers, with David Soria surpassing Oblak in goal.
In addition, Getafe’s strategy of letting the grass grow slowed down the game, a factor that did not favor Atleti’s style. Despite the setback, the Rojiblancos fans are confident in the team’s ability to react. There’s still a lot of LaLiga left and this Atleti has the determination to fight to the end!
