Atlético de Madrid is no longer the 'intractable' team of last season. Those of Simeone have returned to 'puncture', with bad feelings, this time against Alavés

Calendar of FC Barcelona

For the moment, it does not remain at all of the Athletic of Madrid that won LaLiga the past course. The 'colchoneros', that have resolved the majority of the parties of this season with goals to last hour, this time have not been able to to a Sportive Alavés that has achieved, curiously, his first victory of the season. The lacks of the team directed by the 'Cholo' Simeone have remained to the light and this time did not exist a 'miracle' or brilliance of some player to rescue, at least a point.

The Atleti is still in the dynamics, more than refusal, to throw the first parts to the rubbish. This Saturday, was more evident that never. Before the five minutes of party, Laguardia finished hunting a centre to the heart of the area. The one of Saragossa hammered the balloon and finished commanding it to the deepest of the area defended by Jan Oblak, leaving to Savic 'sentenced', after it slept in the defence.

The feelings that were leaving the 'colchoneros' were, as little, worrisome. The Alavés was not generating danger and yielded the balloon to the Athletic. Nevertheless, it was impossible for them generate danger of face to the area defended by Pacheco, further of a shot of Marcos Llorente from the frontal that left very near of the left stick. The ex of the Real Madrid went back to have an opportunity after a lateral centre of Beautiful, that finished of head, but the spherical left above the crossbar.

In the second half, the Atleti added more opportunities, being able to empatar the marker and, in fact, sign a traced back. Before the hour of party, Laguardia dressed of angel on line of goal to take out, of way milagrosa, a very closed centre of Of Paul that it ate him Pacheco. The Madrilenian were more incisive and put in the clash, but the guardameta 'babazorro' also was very attentive and signed several important stops, as one to Belt after a powerful shot of the Argentinian inside the area.

The Athletic, once again, went back to sin by the little consistency that are having to offensive level. Although they arrive a lot and merodean the area constantly, have failed too much in the last touch. They are, more than ever, predictable and without so much creativity, as they accustomed before. To this, it is necessary to add him that sign distraction after despite to defensive level and that sleep , completely, in the first parts.

Good news for the Barça

Although it is true that the FC Barcelona crosses a complicadísimo sportive moment and that are signing parties and performances very regrettable, is a good news that one of the next rival of the team, neither was having his best moment.
