The most comfortable victory for Atlético de Madrid as a visitor in the history of LaLiga was experienced this Monday at the Rayo Vallecano stadium, where those led by Cholo Simeone categorically prevailed with a 0-7 result.
Without mercy against its neighbor from the Spanish capital, Atleti closed the third date of the Spanish League, rising to second place in the table with 7 points, only behind its staunch capital rival, Real Madrid, which is going with perfect pace.
French international Antoine Griezmann opened the scoring in the 3rd minute, scoring his first goal of the season, before Dutch Memphis Depay (16) and Argentine Nahuel Molina (36) left the clash almost seen before the break.
The Spanish striker Álvaro Morata, who came on to replace the injured Depay, added a fourth goal (73), shortly before the fifth by Argentine Ángel Correa (79). Morata was the only one to score a double, in the 84th minute, and Marcos Llorente put the seventh on the scoreboard in the 86th minute.
Beyond the whistles to his team for such humiliation, which is the second time they have conceded seven goals at home after suffering it against Barcelona in 2012, Rayo Vallecano fans vociferously called for the resignation of Luis Rubiales as president of the Spanish Federation for his forced kiss to the player Jenni Hermoso.
The Colchonero team, which came from a goalless draw against Betis in Seville, overtook Rayo in the table, which had won its first two league games, and is in eighth position.
This is the biggest beating of a visitor in LaLiga since that 0-8 defeat by Barcelona against Deportivo La Coruña at the Riazor Stadium in 2016, remembered for being the goal poker duel and hat-trick of assists for Luis Suárez.
