Chapter 507
In the next quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey, Atletico Madrid eliminated Real Betis 8:3 in two rounds. Simeone still adopted a rotation lineup to allow the main players to get a full rest.In the middle league game, facing Levante, Atletico Madrid easily won 2:2.

They have achieved an astonishing 20-round winning streak, which is unique in the history of the five major leagues.In addition to the 16 consecutive victories created by Barcelona and Real Madrid, Inter Milan has won 17 consecutive victories, which is already the highest record in the top league.

And now, Atletico Madrid has raised this record to 20 rounds, not to mention that there will be no one in the future, but it is absolutely unprecedented.

They have fierce momentum, tough defense, efficient and sharp offense, and they can always find a magic weapon no matter they face a strong team or a weak team.

But no team is invincible. When Atletico Madrid is in good form, they can defeat Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​but when they are in average form, failure is inevitable.

In the 21st round of the league, Atletico Madrid was a guest at Athletic Bilbao's San Mames Stadium to challenge the Basque Eagles.

In the last season, Atletico Madrid and Bilbao became 1 win and 1 loss. In the first round of this season, Atletico Madrid swept their opponents 4:0 at home. No matter how you look at it, the Basques will not be the sufferers of Atletico Madrid.

However, as soon as the game started, Athletic Bilbao gave Atletico Madrid a disarm.

"Aduriz receives a wide cross from De Marcos! Header!!"

Substitute central defender Dominguez did not look at Aduriz and gave the opponent a chance to head the ball calmly.Fortunately, Courtois reacted quickly and hit the ball out.

But this dangerous situation obviously did not alert Atletico Madrid. Five minutes later, it was Aduriz again.

"Aduriz confronts Courtois directly! Dominguez is in hot pursuit!"

Although the goalkeeper was at an absolute disadvantage in a one-handed kick, Courtois used his long legs to block Aduriz when he tried to pass him.

Aduriz's dribble caught Courtois in the leg, and he turned to chase.

"Aduriz caught up with the ball! Dominguez also rushed over!"

The cunning Aduriz did not choose to hit the goal directly, but waited for Dominguez to pounce, accelerated the ball, and by the way hung his foot on Dominguez who was unable to brake.

"Aduriz fell in the penalty area! The referee whistled a penalty!!"

Dominguez hurriedly turned around and shook his hands to indicate that he did not touch Aduriz, but the other party did.

As a result, before the argument was finished, the referee took out a red card from his butt pocket.

"Dominguez was sent off! The game has just started less than 20 minutes! The referee sentenced Atletico Madrid to death! And sent off their central defender! We saw Dominguez very excited! He struggled to break free from his teammates and wanted to explain something to the referee!"

As the captain, Gabi must stand up at this moment to calm down his teammates.

"Okay! Let me tell you, hurry down!!" Gabi pushed Dominguez, who was still chattering, "I didn't touch him! He kicked him over!"

But the penalty result of this ball is irreversible, Dominguez can only get off the field helplessly, and Atletico Madrid will play one less player when they come up.

Helpless, Simeone could only replace Costa, sacrificing offense to strengthen defense.

However, Miranda was also absent due to injury, and only the young teenager Manquilo in 94 was on the bench.

Simeone thought about it, but still didn't replace him.

In this game, Atletico Madrid has one less player to fight, and it is bound to be violently attacked by Athletic Bilbao.It was a no brainer that a young Manquillo would be their main attacking point.

If Manquillo plays super god, that is of course a good thing.But the fact may be that Manquillo was completely blown away, and then disheartened and lost confidence.

This teenager is still outstanding among his peers. Simeone believes that he will become a general of the team in the future. In order to protect his future, Simeone had to leave Manquilo on the bench.

"Simeone made a substitution! He replaced Costa with Thiago! Obviously, Simeone was not well-prepared today, so no one was available on the bench! However, the absence of Miranda and Juan Fran due to injury is also a big blow to Atletico Madrid!"

Now the four defenders have become Thiago, Godin, Felipe Luiz who moved to the center, and R. Luo. This nondescript defender is also helpless.

Simeone comforted Costa a few words, Shengshi Meiyan seemed a little dissatisfied, but Caesar and him must have an end, if he doesn't end, is it to let Caesar end?

Aduriz had already scored a penalty when Atletico made the substitution, and the Basque cheers rang out from the San Mames stadium.

"The game continues! Athletic Bilbao still has the initiative!"

Muniain has been in good form recently. At the age of only 20, he has become the absolute main force of Bilbao.A few days ago, some media said that both Chelsea and Manchester United wanted him, but the Basque had no idea about the transfer. He just wanted to stay in Bilbao Gini and play in his hometown.

Facing the invincible Atletico Madrid this season, Muniain is very excited, especially now that the opponent is fighting with one less player, and they are leading again, which makes the Basques see the hope of victory.

"Munyain wiped out Emre! Facing Gabi's defense, he distributed the ball to the wing! De Marcos came up!"

De Marcos' speed is very fast, and Thiago has not warmed up, and was wiped out by his opponent in a face-to-face.

"De Marcos broke through Atletico Madrid's defense! Today's defending champion's defense is like paper! De Marcos made a cross!"

This ball De Marcos is not looking for Aduriz in the middle, Godin has already ambushed by his side, even if it is passed, it is not a good opportunity.

What De Marcos saw was his teammate from the back point. No. 23 Ejisa came out and headed the ball into the goal before Ronaldo.

Courtois was too slow to move and was once again pierced by the opponent.

"The goal was scored again! In just 2 minutes! Atletico Madrid was hit hard again! Eguiza's header made them hard to defend! Conceded two goals in 2 minutes, Atletico Madrid was completely stunned!!"

Courtois spread his hands and muttered something to his teammates, but he didn't know who to blame.

From the very beginning of the game, Atletico Madrid's defense was a little out of shape.No, it should be said that everyone is out of state.

Caesar didn't have any brilliant performances except for two breakthroughs and a ridiculous shot that went wide.

An ominous premonition flashed across Simeone's mind. Since the start of the season, the team's state has been particularly good. Is this good state coming to an end now?
