Atlético Madrid secured a convincing 3-0 home win over Sevilla to extend their unbeaten run in LaLiga to ten matches. After a quiet first half, the game changed in the 64th minute when a penalty awarded to Atlético was converted by Julián Álvarez following a foul by Tanguy Nianzou. Thiago Almada added the second in the 77th minute, and Antoine Griezmann sealed the win with his 200th LaLiga goal in the 90th minute.
First Half Stalemate, Then Atlético Took Control
Sevilla held well in the opening period, blocking chances and keeping the score level at halftime. However, once Álvarez’s penalty hit the back of the net, Atlético grew in confidence and pushed relentlessly. They dominated possession, exploited spaces down the flanks, and kept Sevilla under pressure. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Jan Oblak made a key save in the 73rd minute to maintain the clean sheet.
Tactical Notes: Substitutions and Defensive Solidity
Atlético’s manager Diego Simeone made smart substitutions that shifted the game in his team’s favour. Almada and Giulianno Simeone injected fresh energy and pace after the hour mark. Additionally, Atlético’s defence remained focused and compact, earning a third straight clean sheet. The guests from Sevilla failed to create meaningful opportunities and now face a worrying three-game losing streak.
Implications for the League Table
With this win, Atlético sits fourth in LaLiga with 22 points, level on points with Barcelona who have a game in hand. Real Madrid continues to lead with 27 points, while Villarreal sits just above Atlético with 23. For Sevilla, the defeat puts them 11th on just 13 points and raises concerns about their form and direction.
Conclusion
Atlético Madrid’s 3-0 triumph over Sevilla underlines their resurgence and readiness to challenge in LaLiga. The blend of clinical finishing, tactical replacements, and defensive discipline produced a complete performance. On the other hand, Sevilla’s slump deepens as they struggle to regain form. Looking ahead, Atlético will aim to build on this momentum and close the gap at the top, while Sevilla must regroup quickly to avoid further slide.
