Finally, Chol's team delighted the fans and recorded their first triumph in the championship since mid-March. With this, Atletico only strengthened the fourth place that guarantees the Champions League, as they now have a huge plus 10 compared to fifth-placed Betis. The Basques are ninth with 41 points, three less than Getafe who is in the European zone.
The guests took the lead in the 23rd minute through Aitor Paredes and that result remained active until the start of the second half.
First, Antoine Griezmann brought things back to "the beginning" in the 49th minute, and then just five minutes later, Alexandre Serlot brought about a complete turnaround.
Serlot made it 3:1 with his second goal of the game in the third minute of stoppage time, and Gorka Guruzet set the final score practically in the last moments of the game.
Atletico will face Arsenal in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final at the same stadium in four days, and the Gunners also had a good prelude to their visit to Madrid, as they won by a narrow margin against Newcastle and continued their fight for the championship title with Manchester City.
