Atletico Madrid put this one to bed early, racing into a 3-0 lead at the break at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on Saturday, 29 August 2026, before holding on for a 1-3 win. Sevilla huffed and puffed after the restart and got a late goal back, but the damage was already done. Alex Baena was the standout performer, pulling the strings for the visitors and picking up the Man of the Match award with a 9.3 rating for his troubles. The stats tell an odd story given how one-sided the scoreline looked. Sevilla actually had more of the ball, 42% to 58%, and outshot Atletico 21 to 12, with both sides managing five shots on target. It just shows finishing matters more than volume some days. Sevilla will be frustrated they couldn't convert their late pressure into anything more, while Atletico head home with three points and a statement result to open their account.
The Matchup
