00:00Blacking goal, Molina, Jimenez, Hansco and Ruggeri at the back,
00:02Giuliano, Mendoza, Coque and Almada behind Serlot and Lukman.
00:09Midfield three, Herrera, Soler and Suchic.
00:11Oskarsson up top, Marin and Parnacea on the wings.
00:14So this week Graham's admitting that as Coque puts that one over the top for Giuliano Simeone,
00:19he can lay this off for Serlot, Serlot can get the shot away
00:22and it's a comfortable save in the end for Ramiro.
00:25He loves to score against Real Sociedad, Serlot, five goals in just three games against him
00:29and there was a chance there.
00:31People often come back to haunt their old team
00:35and it's a little bit of a grim story for the club, not for the Norwegian
00:40because he wanted to stay, he was happy, he'd always said
00:43I want my wife and my kids, I want the family, I want to be playing in a club that's
00:47ambitious
00:47and he waited and waited, the summer that he left, he wanted the offer to come in,
00:52it never came in, VRL nicked in, offered to raise his wages, paid the buyout
00:56and suddenly he was gone and therefore since that time he's been paying the Churi Odin back.
01:03Simeone with the throw.
01:06It's flicked on and someone into the roof of the net, right on cue, he's done it again.
01:11Six goals against his former club, Serlot scores the opener, it's Atletico Madrid 1, Real Sociedad.
01:17Santi Martin played in that game that I referenced earlier,
01:20when Tosak picked the kids two weeks before the final.
01:27And John Martin has been another one of the sensations of this season.
01:29Suchic, nice ball into Soler, Soler with a goal to match, Serlot's at the other end of the pitch.
01:35What a start to the game we've had, it's Atletico Madrid 1, Real Sociedad 1.
01:39Football suddenly looks so simple.
01:42Two men of different ages, different stature, two different goals,
01:46but each of them doing as if it's just as easy as breathing in and out.
01:50Soler, when any footballer walks onto a control, one foot and finishes with the other.
02:00Koke, looking for the run of Simeone, got his head to it, but comfortable save for a middle.
02:05Since you bring up the manager's son, I know that Rino Matarezzo had...
02:09Koke with the corner, great view of just how packed his six-yard box is.
02:13In it comes and it's headed over the top by José Jiménez.
02:19Going to Luckman.
02:20Luckman to the back, heel to Almada, still Almada.
02:22Can they get the shot away? Let's go Madrid.
02:24It comes out to Koke. Koke through the crowd and the save for me.
02:28Sergio Gomez sprinting into space.
02:31Giuliano Simeone is in pursuit.
02:33He plays that quickly into Barna Cella.
02:35Oskerson waits for the cross.
02:37The shot instead from Sucic, from Sergio Gomez, I should say,
02:41had plenty of power, but not quite that precision.
02:43They waited until they were playing against 10 men to produce it.
02:45That was dynamic. It was direct.
02:47A series of passes given to blue and white shirts rather than given away.
02:50Just a little indication, with a cup of tea and a slice of cake coming up in the halftime break,
02:55that that's the way to do it.
02:58Barna Cella looking for Sucic.
03:01Pablo Mourinho knew exactly where Sucic was and back-hilled it into his path.
03:05And Sucic has done very well here.
03:07This is a good mazy run from him.
03:08He's still got it. Can he finish?
03:10Well, that would have been absolutely sensational from Luka Sucic in the end.
03:14The shot wasn't one that was going to trouble Oblak, but brilliant from the Real Sociedad midfielder.
03:19And he runs away. A little puff to say, well, I've sprinted there,
03:22but cool as a David Niven in a cravat eating a cucumber sandwich.
03:26He's like, yeah, this is what I do.
03:29Well, do it more often.
03:30Yeah, I think every Real Sociedad would sign under that statement.
03:35So much potential.
03:37I think still more than Zakarian, you can see Sucic's potential.
03:44Just the flashes are Halley's Comet-esque.
03:48Oh, there's another one.
03:50Well, there goes the halftime whistle from Adrián Cordero.
03:54Rios, Atletico Madrid started brilliantly.
03:56Serlo scored after just five minutes.
03:58Adrián Cordero is about to get us underway once more.
04:02Atletico Madrid had the better of the first half,
04:05but couldn't find that second goal.
04:09Forward to Molina.
04:11Or back to Molina, I should say.
04:17Llorente.
04:19Cross is a teasing one.
04:21Serlo coming into it.
04:23An overhead kick from Luckman.
04:24It will come out to Giuliano Simeone.
04:25Can he get the shot away?
04:26He can't.
04:27It's cleared by Pablo Irin.
04:28Oskerson lays it off.
04:29A free kick is given.
04:30From that clip, you can't see that he had time and position
04:33to be able to do that.
04:35Here's the moment where, if you connect badly with Luckman,
04:38you commit a penalty.
04:40But he left Kampnau absolutely empty of energy.
04:45He will be vital when Spires come to town.
04:51Well, it looks like smart play.
04:52Yeah, Greensman comes on to make history passing that man
04:56you've just seen there.
04:57Rignones is now the out on his own for Greensman.
05:02He's probably not going to catch all of them
05:03in what's left of this season.
05:06So off comes Orioskerson, Pablo Irin as well.
05:16Gedish and Doja Thapel come off.
05:22Inability to use possession and be clinical with it goes on.
05:25The greater chance, L'Areal, of stabilising themselves
05:28and finding a good play.
05:30Well, there's a chance here for Surlott.
05:31Can he finish?
05:32Surlott against Ramiro over the top.
05:34His claim is there was a touch.
05:36And the ball seems to move in such a way that...
05:39Well, maybe offside's given for the top part of his body.
05:42There's a move.
05:43Zakarian finds Suchic.
05:46It's won back by Nico Gonzalez.
05:49Good strong run this from Nico Gonzalez.
05:51He plays in Julian Alvarez.
05:52Julian Alvarez.
05:54Still Alvarez.
05:54Back to Nico.
05:55And Nico over the top.
05:57Well, Nico deserved the goal.
05:59There's the point.
06:00Let's talk again about the fact that you hoped
06:03there was a neutral after the semi-final
06:05where he scores this absolutely phenomenal shot
06:08from the edge of the box against Barcelona.
06:10That's going to settle him.
06:12We're going to see the real spider again.
06:13But still he makes the pass and therefore gives the ball away.
06:17Oblak forward to Surlott.
06:20It's one in the air by Chaleta Sarr.
06:22Rodriguez driving forward again.
06:24It's another very strong run.
06:25He's got Griezmann, Julian Alvarez and Surlott in support.
06:29It runs to Griezmann.
06:30The back heel.
06:30Can Nico finish?
06:31Yes, he can.
06:33And Atletico Madrid take the lead.
06:34And he deserves it more than anyone else on the pitch.
06:37He's been superb since coming on.
06:39Griezmann's made a difference too.
06:41It's Atletico Madrid 2, Real Sociedad 1.
06:43When you've got a footballer whose stats say,
06:46well, he's now up towards the top of the charts of appearances.
06:50That's nice.
06:51What a beautiful.
06:53Soler and Anglerrera.
06:55Through to Ollafabel.
06:58Blocked, but it comes back out to him.
07:00And what a response that is.
07:02No way.
07:03Ollafabel scores with Real Sociedad's first attack after going.
07:08Back into Molina.
07:10Surlott and Alvarez making their way into the penalty area.
07:13Molina checks back.
07:15Delivers it to Julian Alvarez.
07:16He's crowded out, but he finds Griezmann.
07:18And Griezmann as finds Nicol González.
07:20And the shot in the end was a tame one claimed by Ramiro.
07:23Anglerrera with the responsibility for preventing Terlok getting on the end of this.
07:29And it comes from the Argentine.
07:31Chalet Assar heads away.
07:32Through the crowd, Llorente.
07:34It might come out to Cardoza.
07:35Brilliant save from Ramiro to Danai Hansko.
07:39Back to Ruggieri.
07:41Ruggieri puts it back into the area.
07:42The header from the substitute.
07:45Well, what an impact Nicol González has had on this game.
07:49He's put Atletico Madrid back in front again.
07:51It's Atleti 3, Real Sociedad 2.
07:56Beautiful, beautiful demonstration of the art of heavy ball.
08:00It isn't simply the...
08:01On the touchline just in front of him.
08:03And I think the referees has blown his final whistle.
08:06So it's ended in victory.
08:09Or with a victory for Atletico Madrid.
08:10Atletico Madrid.
08:13Atletico Madrid.
08:14Atletico Madrid.
08:15Atletico Madrid.
08:15Atletico Madrid.
