The Spanish League. Atletico overpowers and falls to the tilt of the order

And after his dramatic, mad win, Saturday, over Khitavi 4-3 in a meeting that saw him run six goals evenly between the two teams and clinch a goal in the 89th minute, Atletico had a perfect chance of winning his second straight and twelfth this season at the expense of a suffering guest this season.

Levante :-

Levante entered the meet, only the fifth team in league history to win only one out of the 23 at the beginning of the season after Pontevedra (1969-1970), Legroniés (1994-1995), Sporting Jijón (1997-1998) and Osasuna (2016-2017).

But the team that hired Italian Alessio Licci to oversee him in early December repeated the scenario of his last visit to Wanda Metropolitan Stadium when he won 2-0 last season, putting an end to his disastrous start, which had him waiting until stage 20 to taste the taste of winning (2-0 over Majorca), giving himself a knot to Atletico, who had failed to win any victory over his rival.

After 24 stage, Argentine coach Diego Simeoni's team preparing to host England's Manchester United a week later in the price of the Champions League final, remained in fifth place with the same number of points as Barcelona IV, which also had a postponed game, while Levante raised its tally to 14 points and remained at the tail of the rankings by 10 points over the safety zone.

The capital team had a very difficult start in front of its guest, who started the most dangerous side, threatening the capital club's goalscorer more than once in the first leg but crashing into the brilliance of Slovenian keeper Jan Oblak.

team performance :-

• Atlético's performance improved somewhat, but without effectiveness in front of the goalscorer as Uruguayan Luis Soares sat on the bench, finishing first in a negative tie.

• But Levante shocked his host at the start of the second inning by scoring a goal ahead in the 54 minute via Gonçalo Melero, who connected the ball on the right side of the penalty area after a pass from Jorge de Frutos, and threw it from a difficult angle on Oblak's left.

• Despite the entry of Soares and Portuguese João Félix in the 64th minute, Simeoni's team was unable to reach his guest's goal for the remainder of the meeting, despite some rare opportunities, most notably for Argentinians to enter Korea in the lost time allowance, followed by the same player with an acrobatic goal cancelled for an error before the ball reached him, so that Semeoni's men would eventually receive their seventh defeat, which was almost threatened.
