Atlético de Madrid faced Valencia at the Metropolitano stadium on matchday 5 of LaLiga. The red-whites created a great impression after defeating the Valencian team (3-0), in a match where two of their new star signings made their debut as goalscorers. However, two Valencia players were very close to joining Atlético de Madrid, but the club opted for Conor Gallagher and Robin Le Normand.
Javi Guerra and Cristhian Mosquera Fail to Beat Atlético de Madrid
It is well known that Atlético de Madrid had two of Valencia's best players on their agenda. These are Javi Guerra, a midfielder with a lot of quality and ability to get into the opposing area, and Cristhian Mosquera, a central defender with the Spanish national team. Valencia's poor performance both at the start of the season and in the match at the Metropolitano hasn't prevented these two players from leaving a good impression.
During the summer, media sources close to Valencia confirmed the full agreement between Atlético de Madrid and Valencia for Javi Guerra. The player was waiting for the sale of Samu Omorodion to Chelsea, but the failure of the transfer in its final stretch cancelled the operation between the Spanish clubs. Two months later, Javi Guerra played in what was going to be his home, but with a different shirt than the one expected during the summer.
Javi Guerra was one of the few players who created danger in the Atlético de Madrid area. The player completed two of Valencia's five shots, and one was very close to ending in a goal. His most dangerous play ended with a "deadly pass" that found no finisher, to the luck of Atlético de Madrid .
Cristhian Mosquera was not so close to making it, but he was in the plans of Atlético de Madrid , who ended up opting for Robin Le Normand. His game was decent, although he could have done more on the first goal, since Rodrigo De Paul's assist went between his legs. He remained solid during the rest of the game.
Fans are Relieved after the Signings of Conor Gallagher and Robin Le Normand

The fans have been relieved after today's match, since with the signings of both Valencia players, Conor Gallagher and Robin Le Normand would not be signed.
Atlético de Madrid beat Valencia in a match that left a very good impression on the red and whites. Two Valencia players were very close to making it, but Conor Gallagher and Robin Le Normand opted for it. Today the fans breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the performance of the red and white players, and of the Valencia players.
