Vitolo, Atletico Madrid's giant killer

  /  autty

Vitolo showed that his best form was just around the corner during Atletico Madrid's 7-3 thumping of Real Madrid in New Jersey last summer.

The Spaniard needed just 23 minutes to destroy the Real Madrid defence with his directness, pace, drive and dribbling and scored just 180 seconds after coming on.

During Thursday's Supercopa de Espana semi-final with Barcelona, Vitolo demonstrated his ability again as he sparked Atletico's comeback.

It was he who won the penalty, beating Neto to the ball, that Alvaro Morata dispatched to equalise, before Angel Correa sent Los Rojiblancos into the final.

On Sunday, Vitolo will be hoping he can do damage to another big side as Atletico meet Real Madrid in the Supercopa final in Jeddah.
