Real Madrid breaks quickly down the other end through Asensio, but his outside-foot feed is intercepted at the last moment.

We know how important it is to stay in the Champions League places. It sits in 15th place, five points above the relegation zone. Sevilla goalkeeper Bono also was in the area trying to score the equalizer. “It was an important goal that gives us a point in a complicated field after we didn’t play well. Atlético had won only one of its last six games in all competitions — 2-1 against Espanyol in the Spanish league two rounds ago. Madrid’s fans wanted Atlético to keep a tradition whereby players line up to applaud their opponents as they enter the field before kickoff.
Apart from a couple of players, most of Real Madrid was on holidays tonight.
Fede Valverde—8.5: The best rating of the night goes to a Fede who didn’t get the memo that the team was on holiday. However, it was clear he had a foot on the brake tonight. Vinicius—7.5: He wasn’t at his sharpest, but Vinicius is the kind of guy who gets things to happen on the pitch, no matter what. And his lack of contribution in possession would be fine if he had some end product, but he also missed Real’s biggest chance of the game. We forget he has a great shot in him, so let’s hope he shoots more frequently in the future. Another source of major turnovers and one of them led to the penalty offense. Camavinga—5: He was supposed to be the antidote in a game where Atlético pressed heavily but he didn’t play at the required level to overcome it. Rodrygo—7: Since Atlético deactivated Real’s passing from the back, the ball rarely reached Rodrygo. However, he managed to create danger when he did get the ball. Toni Kroos—6.5: Clearly not at his best, but I think he did what he could in a team that helped him very, very little to keep possession. On the ball, just like the rest of the defense, he didn’t contribute much and also got caught in turnovers. Positionally a mess because he had to cover for Militão’s madness, and was not as sharp as usual at winning duels. Struggled to contain the threat of Carrasco from the left.

The second half didn’t bring much change, despite a few of the big names coming on for Real Madrid. Antoine Griezmann came close for Atlético, and Carrasco continued to look dangerous in attack. A Fede Valverde screamer was then denied by Oblak after he came onto the pitch alongside Ferland Mendy, Luka Modrić and Vinícius Júnior. The biggest opportunity for the visitors would come right at the end however, when captain Nacho Fernández spurned a chance from close range. La Liga was now settled, and Real Madrid had a Champions League final to prepare for at the end of the month. The full time whistle blew to give the hosts the 1-0 win - but it remained a good chance for Madrid to stretch some new legs out and give some much needed rest to others, and I don’t think this is the last time we will see this happen in the near future at all. The downside to using the remaining league games as an opportunity to mix the squad up, is that the fixtures may feel like pre-season has come early with the competition sucked out of the proceedings before a ball is kicked. Andriy Lunin was given a very rare place in goal, whilst Lucas Vázquez and Nacho Fernández started at full-back.

Oblak, again, is furious with his defensive teammates, who have allowed a few more openings to Real Madrid this half. Diego Simeone needed the victory badly as the club pushes for a top-four finish, and came away with the prize. Ancelotti's next task is to navigate the coming weeks with as few injuries as possible while also seeing his best players not lose form, which is a difficult tightrope to walk.
