On Saturday, Atletico Madrid defeated Getafe in a thrilling match, with Diego Simeone praising his team's heart. Diego Simeone praised his Atletico Madrid players for overcoming numerous obstacles in Saturday's chaotic 4-3 LaLiga win over Getafe. The two teams put on an especially impressive first half, with six goals and a penalty miss by Luis Suarez.
Borja Mayoral and a pair of Enes Unal penalties cost Atletico a 2-0 lead that turned into a 3-2 loss. Angel Correa equalized just before halftime, but Atletico was dealt another blow when Felipe was sent off for a high and wild challenge on Mauro Arambarri. However, the drama did not end there. Three substitutes linked up just as Atletico appeared to be content with a draw.
Joao Felix headed back across goal from Rodrigo De Paul's deep free kick, and Mario Hermoso acrobatically turned in at the second attempt. Simeone struggled to make sense of the epic battle but praised Atletico's response.
It's difficult to explain a match that included multiple mini-matches He stated to reporters. The number of times they've had a shot on goal is extremely low. There are times when adversity must be overcome, and those moments appeared once again: the missed penalty, going from 2-0 up to 3-2 down, and then the red card.
Once again, the boys' hearts responded in an extraordinary way. Those who came on, De Paul, Hector Herrera, Joao... came on with zeal, which was exactly what we needed. However, while the dramatic nature of such a victory resulted in joyous scenes and returned them to fourth place, the match once again highlighted Atletico's defensive issues.
Two penalties were awarded for handball; Mayoral scored faster than the defense; and Felipe's red card was a direct result of Stefan Savic's heavy touch just inside his own half. It was Atletico's sixth consecutive game in which they conceded at least twice, and the three goals brought their overall LaLiga tally for 2021-22 to 33, which surpassed their previous worst.
Simeone, on the other hand, did not appear overly concerned at least not in the context of this match. The first goal was a good play for them, but the two penalties that followed there were no threatening plays. If you're looking for an Oblak save, there weren't any He stated. Hopefully, we are already out of this adversity situation said Simone.
