Atletico gives the ticket to the final of the Europa League

A perfect definition of Hadrian in the second half, when uncertainty prevailed at the Mestalla after injury Channel, eventually collapsing the dream of Valencia, who gave the witness of illusion to Atletico Madrid will play its second final of Europe League in three years. The advantage of Simeone left with the first leg (4-2) and were limited to putting the nail (0-1) to a team that deserved more in the first half. Bucharest will witness a Spanish final.

The Atletico picked up their ticket in a game that asserted their impressive advantage gained at the Vicente Calderon . Table visitor learned to play his cards in a first installment in a commanding Valencia. Unai Emery's knew the season was going to achieve an epic comeback and it had the support of the crowd. The approaches to the area of Courtois, who was the best team in the first 45 minutes, were steady but flawed.

The channel's offensive game was black and white Sergio Canales. The Spaniard played a magnificent game in trouble constantly putting Atletico defense. His coach went for him and Parejo in a statement of intent that he ran again and again with the Belgian goalkeeper of Atletico. Feghouli, Soldier, or the actual Jonas Canales could attest to the relevance of Courtois, red and white life preserver waiting for a counter to kill the tie in favor of their own.

At the break it was two donuts on the scoreboard when it would have been a fairer minimum local advantage. Surely if Valencia had harvested at least one of the two goals to be achieved, the second part would have been another story. It also could have been different if channels were not injured. The boy leaves the ice, especially when it was setting up his team leading. His right knee returned to creak in an isolated play and how it was looking very bad.

Two minutes later, amid the uncertainty, it was the goal by Adrian increasingly important at Atletico. Diego's pass it completed the Spaniard majestically to finalize the move to the end. The Kafkaesque play the game the referee starred, Damir Skomina, who noted at the hands of Thiago penalty that was Tino Costa. The Luso complained, fell and Valencian provocations eventually releasing her right hook that cost Soldier expulsion.

The most absurd part is that after showing the red Thiago, the referee backed down and said there was no penalty. The midfielder will be the only absentee due to suspension in the final in Bucharest. Two years ago it also lost to Fulham unable to participate for having done previously with Juventus. Either way, the truth is that his reaction, having everything to please, was not correct. As is also reprehensible attitude Soldier and Jordi Alba. Lamentable.

After the storm came the calm. No maximum penalty and a 0-1 in the mail, the question was to see the minutes pass. Valencia and Atletico was touched in the clouds. Simeone played a great final against one of his mentors, Marcelo Bielsa, while Emery probably played his last European match on the bench che. Deservedly a finalist to be played the title against Athletic on 9 May. Congratulations mattress. In the end, and for those 109 years.
