SIMEONE PASSED INTO HISTORY AT ATLETICO DESTROYING LEVANTE

The Atletico Madrid team, continuing to blow storms on the Spain La Liga stage, continued its amazing victory streak by winning the tough Levante struggle it was a guest at away with a clear score like 2-0 and proved once again to the football world that it is located in an assertive position in the championship race. This critical encounter, starting with a one-minute silence realized right at the beginning of the match in memory of the 69 victims who lost their lives in the terrible train crash occurring in the Toledo province and plunging Spain into mourning, was the scene of unforgettable moments on green pitches. The capital representative, starting the encounter in a highly fast and willing way, seized the superiority in the score with its talented player Alejandro Grimaldo not forgiving the massive mistake of the opponent defense and sending the ball to the nets. While the excitement storm continued with Lee Kang-in's shot returning from the post in the early parts of the second half, the talented son of the technical director Giuliano Simeone, meeting the ball as a result of the flawless assist of Alex Baena directing the attacking organizations of the team, increased the difference to two with a stylish strike and relieved his team. Jan Oblak, literally becoming a giant in his goal in the dangerous attacks the Levante team developed throughout the match and putting his signature under an amazing save especially in the clear position of Karl Etta Eyong, became one of the secret heroes of this critical victory taken. This 7th victory the Atletico Madrid team took consecutively in the league not only ensured them to sit on the leadership seat provisionally but carried the quality of a massive historical milestone in terms of technical director Diego Simeone's career as well. The Argentine trainer Diego Simeone, being at the head of the team since the year 2011, reached exactly 344 victories in La Liga history together with this last triumph taken and officially equaled the massive record the deceased legendary name Luis Aragones held in his hands. The experienced technical man stated with humility in the statement he made after the match that this massive honor obtained belongs not only to himself but to his loyal players and club personnel who never left his side for years. The Atletico Madrid team, finding morale with the historical triumph taken, experiences the excitement of being going to host the Bayern Munich team on the Champions League stage on upcoming Tuesday, while preparing with a massive self-confidence for the giant match it will play with fierce rival Barcelona at the Metropolitano stadium at the weekend.
