Atlético de Madrid beat Málaga in La Rosaleda, in what was an intense match. With this win, Diego Pablo Simeone has led our side to 150 victories in LaLiga.
Antoine Griezmann scored our only goal of the afternoon in the 39th second. Our Frenchman took advantage of a deflected Saúl shot to send the ball to the back of the net. Griezmann subsequently grabbed Nacho ‘Cholito’ Barberá’s jersey from the bench and raised it to the sky.
Cholito, this win is for you!
