Kick-off 2nd half
45
19:53
Mid-term conclusion:
Break in Madrid, with a 0-0 it goes into the cabin. After a promising start, the game flattened out more and more, hardly anything happened in front of the gates. In the debut of Granada coach Karanka, his team is defensively safe, but is hardly challenged by the attackers from Athletico. There weren’t any significant chances to score, only Griezmann could have gotten a penalty in a duel with Victor Díaz in the penalty area. The 0-0 is totally fine.
45
19:51
Yellow card for Stefan Savić (Atlético Madrid)
Savic also sees his tenth yellow card and misses the next game.
45
19:49
But the stoppage time also passed without any significant highlights.
45
19:48
Due to various injury interruptions, there is a proud four minutes in the round on top of it.
45
19:47
Official stoppage time (minutes): 4
41
19:44
After a superior start from the hosts, the game is now more balanced, also in terms of ball possession statistics.
39
19:41
Both teams work in midfield and barely make it into the last third, a very tough affair here.
36
19:38
Carrasco’s cross from the left once again finds no takers in the middle.
34
19:37
Atleti fans and players are dissatisfied with the referee’s performance and keep arguing with Manzano.
30
19:33
After a cross from Carrasco on the left, Griezmann fell to the ground in the penalty area, the hosts demanded a penalty, but they didn’t get it. A contact between Víctor Díaz and Griezmann can be seen, but that’s probably not enough for a penalty.
29
19:30
Yellow card for Reinildo (Atlético Madrid)
Reinilod steps on his opponent’s foot and sees yellow.
28
19:29
Serrano’s bad pass becomes an invitation for Granada, but again they play it poorly, Escudero’s long-range effort flying into Oblak’s arms.
25
19:27
Granada’s play structure is very sluggish, unimaginative and does not lead to any stressful moments in Atletico’s defense.
23
19:25
It remains tough in Madrid, goal chances are absolutely scarce.
20
19:22
De Paul’s shot on the other side is also no problem for the keeper.
19
19:21
For the first time Granada keeps the ball in their own ranks for a longer period of time. A free kick from the left half-field is cleared first, then Machís tries it from a distance. Straight into the arms of Oblak.
16
19:18
Granada are deep, rarely able to break free and not going forward at all. Defensively they are solid so far.
13
19:15
Atletico remains superior, but without working out the clear chances. Hermoso heads far over from a corner from the right.
10
19:12
Carrasco claims the ball on the left in the penalty area, but his pass to the back area is far too imprecise.
8th
19:10
Puertas is down after Reinildo hits his head but is able to continue.
6
19:09
The hosts also press very high and recapture the balls so early.
5
19:08
Atletico starts energetically and comes back to crosses again and again, but they rarely find a player in the penalty area.
3
19:05

19:01
The ball rolls, Atletico with the kick-off.
18:56
The teams come to the Wanda Metropolitano. Referee Jesus Gil Manzano selects sides. It’s about to start here.
18:40
In the first half of the season, Granada surprisingly but not undeservedly won 2-1 at home against Atletico. After Felix fell behind early on, Darwin Machis quickly equalized and Molina scored the acclaimed winner. A win today would give them some breathing room in the relegation battle. But the hosts also need every point and want to keep the three points and take another step towards the premier class.
18:30
After the clear 1:4 home defeat against fellow relegation rivals Levante, Granada pulled the ripcord and fired coach Torrecilla. The new coach is Aitor Karanka. He changes his new team to two positions. German is out due to a yellow-red card, replaced by Alex Collado, and Suarez starts for Molina (not in the squad).
18:20
Compared to the last-minute win against Espanyol at the weekend, Diego Simeone makes six changes. The coach will have to do without Joao Felix throughout the end of the season, who will not be on the pitch again this season with a thigh injury, and Lemar is also out today with an injury. Felix is replaced by Griezmann today, Lemar by Carrasco. In addition, Hermoso, De Paul, Reinildo and Serrano start for Renan Lodi, Vrsaljko (bedie Bank), Felipe (yellow card suspension) and Kondogbia (yellow card suspension)
18:09
While Simeone’s men are currently level on points with Barcelona and Sevilla in fourth place and would now go straight into the Champions League (currently three points ahead of Real Betis in fifth place), Granada is deep down in the basement. After Mallorca’s victories against Alaves yesterday and Cadiz against Barca on Monday, the Andalusians are currently only in 18th place and thus a direct relegation zone.
18:05
The season is heating up and there is still a lot at stake for both teams this season. Atletico is fighting for the premier class, Granada for staying in league one.
17:57
Good evening and welcome to matchday 33 in La Liga. The game between Atletico Madrid and Granada kicks off at 19:00!
