Mario Hermoso's goal two minutes from time secured victory for ten-man Atletico Madrid in a seven-goal thriller against Getafe.

Atlético de Madrid 4 - Getafe 3: resumen, goles y resultado
Otra vez el héroe. “Cuando ganas aquí en casa, a pesar de no hacer nuestro mejor partido y encajar muchos goles, siempre es emotivo. Cuando le das la vuelta y te llevas la victoria en esos minutos finales es emotivo. Esperemos que sea un paso adelante y nos de moral ante lo que viene”. Les pitaron dos penaltis en contra. “Son decisiones que toman los que están en el campo arbitrando y en la sala del VAR. Yo creo que el de Cunha no es penalti, porque si no vamos a convertir esto en lo que no queremos. El fútbol es diferente, si no pasará a ser un juego donde no nos podemos tocar ni disputar y será más aburrido”. Se equivoca Felipe en la roja. “Quizás es una situación que tenía que haber medido de otra forma. Pero nos podía pasar a cualquiera, tomó la decisión que creía conveniente y no pasa nada, saldrá otro compañero a intentar hacerlo bien”. Fallos atrás. “Ojalá supieramos lo que pasa. Pondríamos solución. Son muchos detalles, muchas situaciones que antes no nos pasaban y éramos mas determinantes con el marcador a favor. Seguiremos trabajando, somos la plantilla que fue campeona, confiamos y queremos estar vivos en todas las competiciones que nos toque disputar”.
Adama Traore sets tone as Barcelona look to sustain La Liga momentum
Adama Traore will look to cement his status as the new darling of Barcelona this weekend after an impressive start to his Nou Camp career. Last weekend, he delighted fans in the 4-2 win over Atletico Madrid. One particular moment stood out when he nipped past Mario Hermoso, tumbled to the ground and a roar surged around the ground. Some stood to applaud, others yelled and pumped their firsts, convinced a free-kick earned a few metres into Atletico Madrid's half, with only two minutes gone, would set the tone for what was to come. For Traore, it was the opening note of an hour-long recital, the winger terrorising and harrying the Atletico defence, Hermoso in particular, until finally he began to fade. In the 61st minute, he was replaced and the Barcelona fans stood again, this time to give him a standing ovation. By then, Traore had set up a goal for Gavi, his drive to the line furnished with a perfectly lifted cross for the smallest player on the pitch to head in.

Barcelona | Apisonadora Adama
Seguro de sí mismo, sin miedos, Adama Traoré (26 años) regresó al Barça y al Camp Nou por la puerta grande. Su re-debut fue glorioso y desmintió a los agoreros que pensaban que el futbolista del barrio de La Florida que no tenía nivel para volver a vestir de azulgrana. Adama estuvo exuberante y salió a comerse el césped del Camp Nou y a Mario Hermoso. Con éxito.
