FIFA 23 - Atlético Madrid vs Girona | LALIGA 23/24 | FULL MATCH

[Music] hello good evening it's a rainy night here in Madrid so the players are going to have to take that into account at the Metropolitan I'm Derek Ray and keeping me company in the commentary box today is of course Stuart Robson I'm looking forward to bringing you action from the Spanish Top Flight La Liga it's Atletico Madrid against Girona well we can talk about coaches and their methods but it's now down to the players which ones are going to stand out who will affect the game and who will have the greater desire it should be a cracking game [Music] [Music] though this is the starting lineup for Atletico y Oak stands between the posts Tom Mar starts alongside Rodrigo deul in central Midfield and up front Onan gasman starts alongside [Music] Morata and the starting 11 for Herona well I'm just a little worried they might be too negative here they're certainly going to be hard to break down with that fiveman Midfield but will they have enough going the other way I'm not sure oh [Applause] [Applause] looking forward to this tremendously Atletico Madrid get things started morasa Gman and here's Lavar it is a decent looking attack here but nothing comes of it good defending it was well you can probably see why we're focusing on this fellow as one to watch Stuart in particular what do you expect to see from him well the best players can play in tight that he can certainly playing TI ter is in and around the Box his creativity is excellent playing little on twoos balls around the corner linking up with other teammates just to have that little bit of penetration he's going to be key to breaking down this defense let's get the latest on the injury situation from our pits side man Jeff shes nasty landing on the shoulder for him there and he's in real disc comfor he's a tough boy I think he'll stay on Cheers Jeff there wasn't much of that offside decision could have been in [Applause] [Music] business possession given away unfortunately good looking move this and no way [Applause] through de and here's Lamar well Ed tackle Romeo and now Garcia Romeo and he stopped them in their [Applause] tracks hermoso now griman carasco and here's Lamar getting the better of his opponent Morata a wonderful [Applause] intervention Garcia and he's going to be disappointed with that [Applause] pass kok morasa griezman well he's got plenty of space on the flank here kavas barata is up there well they couldn't take advantage of the opportunity vikor sankov onto estani spot on with that challenge can they take [Applause] advantage and a goal here from Gman the first of the night and that should serve as a huge [Applause] [Music] boost well here's the replay the pass over the top has just the right amount of pace on it but when he shoots I expected him to go across the goalkeeper he should never beat the goalkeeper inside that near post that's not good [Applause] keeping the game has been restarted Atletico are in front [Applause] Gman Rodrigo deul oh this is looking promising what a big chance that was keeper has the [Applause] ball well getting close to halime Atletico hold the edge Stuart what have you made if what you've seen from them well I think they've been the better side in this first half they defended well they've looked dangerous in attack and they've controlled the Midfield it's been a solid performance so far might be able to get in behind the defense and the whistle is sounded for halime in this game well antoan grias man so far you've got to say excelling out there Stuart well I thought he had a really effective first half not only did he get the goal that gave him the lead but his General play was really good he was a constant threat and I'm sure we'll see more of him in the second half well underway once more and it's going to be fascinating to see what developments occur in this second [Applause] half after the foul a chance to contemplate what is next and by perhaps a goal from his free kick and the substitution will occur [Applause] now well no way to put a positive spin on that one disappointing well I don't think he'll be on the next free kick will he that wasn't good at all [Applause] [Music] Jimenez kok with it morasa [Applause] and given away by Atletico r kelme a room to roam on the wing electing to cross into the center ah goalkeeper ball not the best of crosses really was it [Applause] kok Lamar griesman gets himself into the attacking third with the ball at his [Applause] feet and the danger [Music] cleared Christian stani well that's how to put in a clean tackle diman Lamar [Applause] griezman and back with carasco every goalkeeper would expect to catch that [Applause] one couldn't hang on to the ball [Applause] 20 minutes to go Atletico get the free kick decision their way it is an Atletico substitution not the best clearance and that's easy peasy for the keeper [Applause] yanel errera Al Garcia they might be able to get in now and a decent save for Brit and here's a change now for Atletico [Applause] delivering it really it had to be further away from the [Applause] keeper hermo Lamar nicely cut out this to an attacking position it's not too late for them now well Molina Rodrigo deul now griman Morata Lamar oh a smart save to keep them in it well that keeps it interesting but they're running out of time here well they have elected to go to the bench at this stage of the game played in by griezman well the goalkeeper doing what he's paid to do it's one corner after another Keen to take it short here that's very effective use of advantage in favor of Atletico could be a smart stop here if they can score again from this corner it probably would be the end of the story well he's gone back and shown him a yellow card Stewart well that was a poor challenge the referee wasn't going to forget that was he [Applause] and the short option preferred kah and now Lamar gives it a go oh it's in and that might be the goal that clinches it for them No Looking Back Now surely [Applause] well here it is again and the way they've been playing that was always going to happen they've certainly been piling on the pressure [Applause] here so back underway with the lead standing at 2-n and 3 minutes of stoppage time to be added on good tackle it'll be a [Applause] throw and the referee blows for full time it goes into the books as a win for Atletico Madrid your verdict well Derek they were dominant in most aspects of the game particularly in that Midfield area and they also look threatening in the top third of the pitch it's a really good result for them well it truly was a dazzling performance from Toma Lamar Stuart interested to know what caught your ey in particular well that performance sums him up really you're never disappointed with what he gives you such a good player
