Como and Roma’s Stunning Surge: Who Else Will Join Europe’s Elite in Serie A’s Final Champions League Showdown?
Villarreal 5-1 Atletico Madrid
Atletico Madrid’s season ended with a humbling as Villarreal produced one of the performances of the weekend, running out emphatic 5-1 winners at the Estadio de la Ceramica.
The damage was largely done by half-time. Dani Parejo converted a penalty on 30 minutes after Nicolas Pepe won a foul in the box, before Ayoze Perez, outstanding throughout, added a second with a cool finish from the centre of the box.
Georges Mikautadze then showed exactly why Villarreal invested in him, racing onto a fast break to drill a superb effort into the top corner and make it three. Atletico did pull one back through a Marc Pubill header from a corner, but Pape Gueye restored the three-goal margin with a thunderous drive from outside the box right on half-time.
