Atlético Madrid may very well be considered as the top contender to win the UEFA Europa League this year. Their defensive prowess, their excellent balance in front of goal, and the fine form shown by Costa, Griezmann and Co. gives their fans reason to believe in one more European title for them.
One of those players that gives his best during key ties is Saul Ñiguez. The midfielder managed to fire things up with a massive first-half goal, adding one more goal to his tally in the most recent European games he's played.

What really should catch your eye is the fact that Saul's goals can be counted as blessings for Atlético, as he hasn't lost a single game when his name is on the scoresheet.
"Saúl Ñiguez hasn't lost a competitive match in which he's scored for either Atlético, Atleti B or the Spanish National Team's youth categories (he's yet to score with La Roja): 35 wins, 5 draws and no losses."
#OJOALDATO - @saulniguez JAMÁS ha perdido un partido no amistoso en el que haya marcado para el Atlético de Madrid, para el Atleti B o para las categorías inferiores de la selección española (con la absoluta aún no ha marcado): 35 victorias, 5 empates y 0 derrotas. pic.twitter.com/y9yOxXkiCu

You should probably close down Saul Niguez
