At 1:00 a.m. Beijing time on April 21, a match in the 33rd round of La Liga was contested, with La Liga giants Atletico Madrid facing relegation team Granada at home. In the first half, Carrasco's long-range shot was blocked, De Paul's long-range shot was confiscated by the goalkeeper, Escudero's long-range shot was also taken down by the goalkeeper, Griezmann grabbed the point to shoot high, and Llorente's low shot was deflected. In the second half, Griezmann's volley was deflected, Suarez's volley was blocked, Petrovic's long-range shot was high, and Hermoso's header was deflected off the top. In the end, Atletico 0-0 Granada, broke a cold score. Atletico scored 61 points in total and temporarily moved up to second place.
Just 2 minutes into the game, Granada received a yellow card. Kini pulled too much and dragged Carrasco out of balance, which allowed him to get a yellow card. It is really undeserved to use such a big move in such a situation. That means Gini must be more cautious next and avoid getting another yellow card. In the 12th minute, Carrasco scored the ball in front of the penalty area and fired a shot that was blocked by a defender in the middle. Seven minutes later, De Paul tried a long-range shot from outside the box, which was not very powerful, and the goalkeeper pounced on the side to confiscate the ball.
In the 26th minute, Escudero collided with his teammates outside the penalty area, and the subsequent kick was too right and insufficient, and Oblak stood in place and easily held the ball in his arms. In such positions, players would usually choose to shoot into the far corner, but Escudero did not do so. Three minutes later, Griezmann was kicked in the ankle by his opponent while grabbing a shot from the spot, and Griezmann fell to the ground in pain. However, the referee did not consider it a foul and did not award a penalty. In the 35th minute, Carrasco sent a cross on the left side of the front, the ball flew to the back point, no one wrapped it in place, and the ball went straight out of the bottom line. In the 45th minute, Llorenteche fired a low shot into the near corner, slightly offside. At half-time, the score was still 0-0! The game was a little dull.
In the second half, Simeone made substitutions, sending Suarez and Vrsalico, replacing Renaldo and Xavi Serrano. In the 48th minute, Griezmann received a return pass from his teammate outside the penalty area, and directly shot into the far corner, slightly offside. It's a bit of a pity that Griezmann is too angle-oriented. Suarez volleyed from a small angle on the left side of the penalty area and was blocked, the ball bounced in front of Cork, Who pumped it and kicked it too straight and the goalkeeper took the ball down.
In the 61st minute, Petrovic also fired a long-range shot from outside the box, shooting into the far corner and kicking high. The offensive routines of the two sides are still relatively rigid. Atletico then took advantage of a corner kick opportunity to create a threat when Hermoso's close-range header was deflected off the bar. In the 71st minute, Savage's sideways shot from the middle of the penalty area did not stand firmly, and the kick was deflected. In the end, Atletico 0-0 Granada. Simeone conceded another 2 points, which made the scramble for four a little variable.
