Luis Suárez can look back on a successful debut with his new employer Atlético Madrid. The striker, taken over from Barcelona, ​​came to a 3-0 score in the field against Granada on Sunday afternoon after seventy minutes and played a large part in the final 6-1 final score. Suárez provided an assist shortly after his entrance and also took the fifth and sixth goal of the Madrid people in the final phase in a match that eventually ended in 6-1.

With Suárez on the bench, João Félix and Diego Costa formed Atlético’s attacking duo and the two immediately asserted themselves in the first half. After less than ten minutes of play, Diego Costa put his team ahead with a striking header and a good five minutes later João Félix was involved in what almost became the home team’s 2-0. The Portuguese was brought down by Domingos Duarte in the sixteen, after which Saúl Ñíguez was allowed to play for a penalty kick. Because goalkeeper Rui Silva managed to turn the midfielder’s bet, it remained 1-0 for the time being.

Five minutes before half-time, Granada also showed himself in front of Jan Oblak’s goal for the first time and the goalkeeper had to take action if Victor Díaz had a good chance. In the second half, however, it was Atlético again that struck the clock and a few minutes after the break Ángel Correa doubled the lead on a pass from João Félix. Fifteen minutes later, the young attacker got his own moment when he received the ball in the sixteen after a smart switch from Diego Costa, cut out his opponent and coolly shot into the short corner. Five minutes after João Félix’s 3-0, it was time for Suárez to enter and together with the Uruguayan, Thomas Lemar and Vitolo also entered the lines.

The newcomer was immediately involved in a goal shortly after his entrance, as it was his pass that enabled Marcos Llorente to steam up and finish towards Rui Silva. Not long after, Suárez thought from the penalty spot for his first goal in the service of los Colchoneros to sign, but this party was canceled after consulting the VAR. He did not have to wait long, however, as it was still hit two minutes later when Llorente crossed the ball and Suarez headed in against the far post. Molina’s 5-1 shortly afterwards meant only a small plaster on the wound for Granada and Suárez’s second goal followed in injury time. The substitute initially bumped into the post, but was eventually able to draw for his second goal of the game in the rebound.
