A few days before a capital return match against Real Madrid at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano in the Champions League, Atlético was beaten for the third time in the Liga season, this time against Getafe in a meeting that was set out at the end of the match. After a very calm first half hour where Atlético kept the ball a lot without being dangerous, it was ultimately the locals who offered themselves the most great opportunity of the first period with a powerful but too axial head by Christian Uche on an eccentric free kick (40th). Finally, Atlético will punish on its first real foray into the surface of Getafe, after a scraper in the surface or Alderete deviates the ball with the hand, offering the Atleti a penalty transformed by Alexander Sorho (0-1, 76th). A goal that will have the merit of waking up the attack on Getafe, but which will be too imprecise, like a head of the former Bordeaux Arambarri who passes just above the cage.
Except that in the end of the meeting, the meeting will switch to the unreal. First when the Argentinian winger Angel Correa is expelled for a sole on Alderete. An important expulsion, since it is at the free kick that Mauro Arambarri deceives Oblak in two stages and equalizes (1-1, 88th), before the Uruguayan environment comes to cut a shooting center of Diego Rico with the tip of the foot (2-1, 90+1st). Another big black point for the Colchoneros: the infirmary. Indeed, a few minutes before kick -off, the French central defender Clément Lenglet had to declare after feeling muscle discomfort. Then, after around thirty minutes of play, Rodrigo de Paul underwent a dry crutch in a duel with Alvaro Rodriguez. If the Argentinian finished the first period, he was replaced at the break by Pablo Barrios. A trap in which the Colchoneros fell in all its aspects, 72 hours from the duel against Real Madrid…
