It was another great day for Luis Suárez, another victory for Atlético super pointer towards the League. But Celta did not leave it, Eduardo Coudet’s team achieved what seemed impossible and in the last play it reached a 2-2 draw. And the fault of all that was the Argentine reinforcements who came to the Vigo team. Center by Augusto Solari and goal in the small area by Facundo Ferreyra, no less than in his debut in the team.
Yes, the incorporations that Chacho requested in January entered the ST and ended up being decisive, especially the striker who had no place at Benfica and who he scored an official goal after a year and three months: the last one had been with Espanyol in November 2019. Chuky was able to remove his mufa, embitter the mattresses a bit and rescue a point in what seemed like a certain defeat in the Wanda Metropolitano.
Chuky Ferreyra arrived at 44 ‘from ST and beat Oblak to score the 2-2. The center was Augusto Solari (AFP).
Atlético was surprised. He was about to close out his ninth straight La Liga win and match the best streak in the Simeone era. But he escaped in a day in which he had started losing, he did not have a good time but again Luis Suárez made him celebrate. At the end of the first half and at the beginning of the second, the Uruguayan pushed two centers (one from Llorente and the other from Renan Lodi) to overcome the initial 0-1 of Santi Mina. The Uruguayan continues to demonstrate not only his validity but also improved after Barcelona: he is the Pichichi of the League with 16 goals in his 17 games.

A small brake on that great clean and jerk from Atlético. Now he is more than a leader, with eight more units than the Barcelona and Real Madrid guards and even one game less than them. But also a wake-up call in a day in which he also had to face the casualties due to Covid. Because six players tested positive in the last week (four starters: Joao Félix, Carrasco, Lemar and Hermoso, plus Héctor Herrera, Dembélé) and they upset the plans a bit del Cholo who had Ángel Correa for 90 minutes. Likewise, nothing justifies that they have tied him on the end and much more after having reversed the initial 0-1.

For Coudet this point is a mental jerk to lift. Because after that debut in the club improving the team, this 2-2 means the sixth match without victories in the championship. But having tied for the pointer at home will serve as a starting point for what is to come. And precisely the next date will be another duel of Argentine technicians because it will receive Elche from Jorge Almirón who has not beaten 15 PJ.

The Cholo-Chacho crossing ended equal. Simeone, hoping to recover soldiers, will already set his head in the visit to Granada the next day and continue with his message of “game by game”. Meanwhile, the Champions League also already appears sideways with the first leg of the round of 16 hosting Chelsea on 2/23. The best thing is that Suárez is still plugged in. On the other side, Coudet already has those new faces that he was asking for so much. Solari left Racing and gave an assist and Ferreyra, in less than 20 minutes, his first goal. Argentos to fight.
