With an electric atmosphere and a crowd of over 66,000 in attendance, Atletico Madrid took control from the outset. The match was highlighted by Antoine Griezmann’s milestone goal, as the French forward rounded off the scoring, cementing his place in the club’s history books. The win not only extended Atletico’s home unbeaten streak but also showcased their attacking efficiency, with the team now averaging over three goals per match at home this season.
Both teams entered the fixture with contrasting form. Atletico, ranked third in home performance, had recently scored 11 goals in their previous five matches and boasted five consecutive home victories. In contrast, Sevilla struggled on the road, suffering seven defeats in their last ten away games and conceding an average of 1.7 goals per match.

The midfield featured Giuliano Simeone, Koke, Álex Baena, and Nicolás González, while Alexander Sørloth and Julián Álvarez led the attack. Sevilla responded with a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Odysseas Vlachodimos between the posts and a backline of José Ángel Carmona, César Azpilicueta, Marcao, and Gabriel Suazo. Batista Mendy and Djibril Sow anchored the midfield, with Juanlu Sánchez, Gerard Fernandez, and Ruben Vargas supporting Isaac Romero up front.
Unavailable players included Juan Musso and Pablo Barrios for Atletico, and Fabio Cardoso, Joan Jordán, Lucien Agoume, and Alexis Sánchez for Sevilla. The absence of key figures, particularly for Sevilla, further tipped the odds in favor of the hosts.
