Atlético beats Real Madrid and wins the LaLiga Promises

Atlético de Madrid won the sixth edition of the LaLiga Promises Santander International Tournament, after defeating Real Madrid in a grand final in Orlando (5-3), in an edition that left Valencia in third place after their resounding victory against Villarreal (3-0) in the consolidation final.

Atlético de Madrid came back from the Infantil B category, the initial goal scored by Enzo, the son of the Brazilian Marcelo for Real Madrid at 12 minutes, after facing four rivals, leaving by power and scoring with a low shot adjusted to the post.

It didn't take long for the red and white response to arrive, which barely a minute later equalized with a great long-range shot from Álvaro and seconds passed when Guille Trujillano turned the score around, taking advantage of a goalkeeper's rejection of a powerful shot.

At the break came the duel even after Manu Romero's header after a corner and in the second half, the final was decided in the last eight minutes since Guille repeated at pleasure for Atlético but a left footed shot by Manu Romero returned the emotion with the tie at three. The trophy was decided by Rubén and Guille, who achieved a triplet, in the last minute with a connection that left two goals that gave the victory.

Real Madrid goalkeeper Guille Ponce was chosen as the tournament's best goalkeeper, Atlético player Guille as the top scorer with seven goals and his teammate Ian Mencía, best player in the LaLiga Promises Santander International Tournament.
