He made his debut as the new scorer of Atlético de Madrid! Memphis Depay scored his first goal for the 'Colchonero' team this Sunday, February 12, during the visit of the Madrid team to Celta de Vigo for matchday 21 of LaLiga Santander. The match at the Abanca Balaídos Stadium in Vigo was difficult for the visitors, but thanks to the goal of the Dutch forward, they were able to clinch the victory. These are three important points to get closer to Real Sociedad (third place) in the standings.
The 'Cholo' Simeone's team had a tough time at the Abanca Balaídos Stadium. However, they managed to hold the result and secure the victory with a solitary and dramatic goal from Memphis Depay. In the 88th minute of the match, the forward appeared to score his first goal for the 'Colchonero' team.
Carrasco approached the Celta area, positioned himself and took a shot that bounced off a defender of the home team. The ball was left bouncing in the area and Memphis Depay, with great instinct, threw himself to the ground to push the ball into the back of the net. A goal in the final minutes of the match and with one less player after Stefan Savic's expulsion.
This is Memphis Depay's first goal with Atlético de Madrid. So far, the forward has played 3 LaLiga Santander matches with 'Cholo's' team. Let's remember that the Dutch attacker joined the Madrid team after having little playing time with Barcelona in recent months.
