Let me tell you about one of the most beautiful and exciting matches you could ever watch in your life.
Atletico Madrid is playing at home in the Metropolitano Stadium against Sevilla, a team struggling this season in 13th place in the La Liga standings.
Atletico Madrid entered the match with 32 points, hoping for the three points that would reduce the gap between them and the league leaders, Barcelona, to just three points, with one game less.
In the first half, in the 10th minute, De Paul scored Atletico's first goal—a quick goal that reassured Atletico fans and opened the door for a big win.
But just two minutes later, Sevilla equalized through Lukebakio, and then, 20 minutes later, they took the lead with a second goal from Isaac Romero, ending the first half with a 2-1 scoreline in favor of Sevilla.
Atletico Madrid started the second half determined to equalize, but they were shocked by a third goal from Sevilla, scored by Juanlu.
The last 30 minutes of the match were a completely different story for Atletico Madrid. Simeone played all his attacking cards—Sorloth, Correa, and Lino—who changed the course of the match.
In the 62nd minute, Antoine Griezmann reduced the deficit with a goal, making it 2-3 for the home team. Then, in the 79th minute, Lino, with a beautiful shot from outside the box, scored the equalizer for Atletico.
Sevilla then dropped back into their defensive zones to protect the draw because Atletico Madrid was literally creating a storm.
The regular time ended, and the referee added 8 minutes of stoppage time. After 3 minutes, in the fourth minute of stoppage time, Lino crossed the ball into the box, Griezmann controlled it, dribbled past defenders, and scored the winning goal for Atletico Madrid.
This win could be the most important one in Atletico Madrid's bid for the La Liga title this season.
Atletico Madrid reached 35 points, just one point behind Real Madrid and 3 points behind Barcelona, the leaders.
Do you think Atletico Madrid can win La Liga this season?
