Liga: Atlético secures Granada and climbs into the Top 4

Alvaro Morata brought Atlético Madrid back into the Top 4 of the Spanish championship, synonymous with qualification for the Champions League, by scoring the winning goal Monday evening in Granada at the end of the 21st day. With 41 points, the Colchoneros are ahead of Athletic Bilbao in the number of goals scored (the two teams have the same goal difference). The Basques pay for their 1-0 defeat on Saturday evening in Valencia. Despite a late match, Atlético, which has only its second victory in five days, remains 11 points behind the surprise leader of La Liga, Girona (52 points).

Facing the penultimate in the championship, Diego Simeone's men slowly returned to their match. We had to wait until the half hour mark for Rodrigo Riquelme to highlight Granada goalkeeper Augusto Batalla with a cross shot (31st). In the seconds that followed, it was the crossbar that blocked Antoine Griezmann's attempt. In the 54th minute, Morata finally broke the deadlock, heading in a serve from Griezmann. The goal, his 13th this season in the league, was validated after video refereeing. Atlético could have doubled the lead, but a goal from Saul Niguez on the hour mark was refused for an offside position verified by VAR before Griezmann found the post this time in the 87th.
