Rivals of Panathinaikos: Villarreal was brought to its knees by Atletico!

She smiled for the last time Atlético against Villarreal. The Rojiblancos found it dark against the Yellow Submarine, but prevailed 3-1 with an upset and returned to winning ways in La Liga.

The visitors held out until the 80th minute, with the home side knocking them to their knees at that point, and just days after being beaten by Celtic in the Champions League, they returned to league success.

Panathinaikos’ Europa League rivals opened the scoring in the 20th minute with Moreno sending the ball into the net from close range from the penalty spot, following a chance from Sherloth. The equalizer came in first-half stoppage time, with Griezmann curling in from the left and Witzel hitting the far post. The turnaround was completed in the 80th minute with Griezmann scoring from close range after Llorente’s turn and the “Metropolitano” caught fire, while Simeone celebrated the goal like crazy. Five minutes later, Lino scored almost from the height of the penalty, “locking” the ace.
