Atletico Madrid secured a 0-2 away win over Valencia in the 34th week of the Spanish league, despite their clear focus on the second leg of their Champions League semi-final against Arsenal.
The Atletico coach decided to field a mixed formation, leaving most of the starters on the bench. This choice gave space to several young players, who took the opportunity to make their mark.
The match remained tied until the 74th minute, when 20-year-old Iker Luke broke the deadlock with a precise and powerful shot from outside the area.
Eight minutes later, in the 82nd minute, 18-year-old Miguel Kubo doubled the lead after an assist from Antoine Griezmann, sealing the victory for the Madrid team.
With this success, Atletico Madrid holds fourth place in the standings with 63 points. On the other hand, Valencia remains in 13th place with 39 points.
