Atlético Madrid’s Relentless Pressure Breaks Down Sevilla
Atlético de Madrid defeated a resilient Sevilla 3–0 at the Metropolitano, sealing a hard-fought victory in the second half with goals from Julián Álvarez (penalty), Thiago Almada, and Antoine Griezmann.
Persistence finally paid off for Diego Simeone’s side. Sevilla started well organized and pressed high, making it difficult for Atlético to build from the back. The hosts were forced to go long on several occasions.
Sorloth battled up front, winning some duels, while Julián Álvarez dropped deeper to help, though with little precision on the ball. Isaac Romero had an early chance but failed to connect, while at the other end, Giménez could only flick a Baena cross.
