"The team has a competitive spirit that I love. And we showed it once again. We went for the 4-3, we had Correa's chance, we scored Sorloth's 4-4...", emphasised Diego Simeone , their coach, whose team is a torment for their rivals in the final minutes, with demonstrations this season, when defeat was a clear risk.

This Tuesday they were losing 4-2, when Marcos Llorente first made it 4-3 in the 84th minute (after a pass from the Argentine Ángel Correa ), and then 4-3 when Sorloth made it 4-4 in the 94th minute at the Lluís Companys stadium in Barcelona, ​​to keep everything balanced for the return match on April 2 at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano stadium for a place in the Copa del Rey final.

In total, he has achieved eleven wins and three draws through his goals from the 80th minute onwards, within that visible feeling of his strength in the final stages of the games, as also happened on Tuesday, after Barcelona had come back from the two opening goals by Antoine Griezmann and Julián to make it 4-2.

From the beginning of the campaign until now, there are examples in all competitions and all stages of this season in the team managed by Simeone, who have never lost if they have scored beyond the 80th minute: 19 wins and three draws.

In this sense, Angelito Correa's 0-1 against Athletic Club in the 92nd minute; José María Giménez's 2-1 against Leipzig in the 90th; Julián's 0-1 against Celta in the 90th; Correa's 1-1 against Real Madrid in the 95th; Griezmann's 2-1 against Leganés in the 81st (Sorloth then scored the final 3-1); Julian's 0-1 for the 0-2 in Vic; Clement Lenglet's 1-1 and Rodrigo de Paul 's 1-2 against Cacereño, in the first rounds of the Cup, were decisive.

There was also Correa's 1-2 against Paris Saint Germain in the 93rd minute in the Champions League; Sorloth's 2-1 against Alavés; Griezmann's 4-3 against Sevilla in a spectacular comeback; the Norwegian striker's 1-2 in the win against Barcelona in La Liga on December 21; Julián's 2-1 against Bayer Leverkusen to turn it around with one less player; Sorloth's 1-1 again against Celta, also with Atlético down in numbers; and this 4-4 on Tuesday.

Atlético have played 39 games this season, with 26 wins, nine draws and four losses, with 81 goals scored.

Of his 28 goals in the period from the 80th minute to the end, eleven have been decisive in winning and five in tying (either to equalize the final result or to start the comeback that ended in victory).

Nobody in the major European leagues, across all competitions, has scored as many goals this season as Atlético from the 80th minute onwards: they are followed by Paris Saint Germain (22), Bayern Munich (20), Real Madrid (19), Barcelona (17) and Liverpool, Manchester United, Bournemouth, Tottenham and Celta, all five with 16 agonising cries.
