Surprise heroes in Comunio and Fantasy of matchday 34

The two youth academy players of Atlético de Madrid took advantage of the opportunity given to them by Cholo Simeone, due to the proximity of the second leg of the semifinals of the Uefa Champions League against Arsenal, to deliver a heavy blow to a Valencia team that had been very confident when they saw the lineup that the Colchonero team presented at Mestalla with many rotations and players from the B team. We saw a lot of boldness and personality in both players. It wouldn’t surprise me if one or both become first-team players in all respects next season.

At the start of the second half, the Catalan player equalized for Athletic de Bilbao at Mendizorroza, taking advantage that his shot brushed a defender from Alavés to confuse Sivera. This is the midfielder's sixth goal in LaLiga, but it is also true that he had not scored for several months, specifically since matchday 23 against Levante. A player with a great strike and good goal sense, but somewhat inconsistent and also very prone to muscular injuries. 

The Galician midfielder took advantage of a "sweet opportunity" offered by his teammate Javi Rueda to fire at will past Dituro and put Celta ahead in their difficult match against Elche. This is the fourth goal by the skillful Celtic player and interestingly, all of his goals have been scored at the Abanca Balaídos stadium in front of his fans. Hugo opened the scoring Hugo to secure an important victory for his team in their tough fight for fifth place, which could grant access next season 2026/2027 to the top continental competition.

He sealed with his goal, albeit with a bit of luck as it touched a rival defender, a highly important victory for Rayo Vallecano at the fortress of the Coliseum de Getafe by scoring the final 0-2 goal (earlier in the streak, a goal was scored by Sergio Camello) in a tough game where the home team squandered a penalty that could have clearly changed the course of the match. This is the second goal in the domestic competition for the Angolan forward and it helps to approach with morale and confidence the second leg of the Conference League next Thursday in Strasbourg. Good luck to Rayo.
