On April 25 , the 33rd round of the La Liga kicked off at the Civitas Metropolitano Stadium, with Atletico Madrid playing at home against Rayo Vallecano. With Sorlot's lightning goal, Gallagher's goal-scoring shot and Alvarez's finishing goal, Atletico Madrid won 3-0 and continued to consolidate their top four ranking. However, after this round of games, they are still 10 points behind the top Barcelona in the standings, and have missed out on the La Liga championship this season.

Atletico Madrid showed a strong desire to attack from the beginning of the game. In the 3rd minute, Simeone passed two players on the right and sent a precise cross. Sorlot jumped high and headed the ball into the goal, overpowering the defender and establishing an early lead for the home team. This goal broke the deadlock and quickly ignited the passion of the fans on the scene.

Just three minutes later, Atletico Madrid almost expanded the lead. Galan sent a cross from the left, and Sorlot headed the ball again. The ball was slightly higher than the crossbar, and the Vallecano defense was in a state of panic. In the first half, Atletico Madrid continued to create threats through the wing, showing a strong advantage in the air and a strong ability to break through the wing.

In the 45th minute, De Paul held the ball in the flank and organized an attack. He accurately found Gallagher's position, and the latter scored a header in the middle of the penalty area, helping Atletico to rewrite the score to 2-0 . The two headers showed the efficient execution of Atletico's high-point tactics.

In the 51st minute , Vallecano finally found a chance to score. Parazon headed the ball in front of the goal, but Oblak flew to save it. In the 67th minute, Atletico missed a great opportunity. Griezmann and Alvarez cooperated continuously and completed a long shot, which was slightly off the post.

In the 77th minute , Atletico Madrid completely killed the suspense of the game with a sharp counterattack. Griezmann intercepted the ball in the backcourt and sent a through pass. Alvarez rushed in at high speed and calmly pushed the ball to complete the fatal blow, and the score was fixed at 3-0 .

In the end, Atletico Madrid won the key three points with a clean victory, raising its points to 66 points, temporarily ranking third in the standings, and basically securing a place in the Champions League. Rayo Vallecano continued to rank 11th , and although it lost, it still has hope of relegation. Although the hope of winning the championship has been shattered, Atletico Madrid will still go all out to ensure that the season ends in the best possible manner.
