Memphis Depay impresses in winning Atletico Madrid debut

Memphis Depay impressed on his Atletico Madrid debut in their 3-0 win against Real Valladolid.

The former Barcelona striker was a second-half substitute on the day.

He came on with 15 minutes to go and received a standing ovation from the stands.

After being greeted by Diego Simeone, the Dutchman played an exciting quarter of an hour on his Atletico Madrid debut.

Memphis fought for the ball in the penalty area, had the opportunity to shoot at goal with some menace and although the fact that he has only had two training sessions with his teammates was noticeable, his cameo was encouraging.

In a game in which Simeone's team had everything going for them, the new signing got a taste of what awaits him at his new club.

After taking to the pitch, Memphis was involved at all times and also looked for danger using space, but the hectic week he has had was noticeable.
