Atlético 1×1: Oblak was not enough; Lemar, the only light

Oblak: He sustained Atlético in the first half with another huge performance. He saved his second penalty in two days, correcting the direction of Ocampos' launch and avoiding the result against before reaching the first ten minutes of the game. He would have to continue acting assiduously to stop the constant arrivals of Sevilla, far superior. He could not do anything before Acuña's header in the small area.

Gimenez: He recovered in time after having been training on the sidelines during the week due to muscle problems. Without Savic, he was in charge of moving to the right profile and covering Trippier's back. Attentive from above to try to stop the lateral centers of Sevilla, which did not stop arriving on both sides, so much was the jug to the source that in the end the local team scored in that facet.

Felipe: He had to celebrate not leaving sent off after four minutes of the game after a stomp on the heel of Ocampos when he had no option to play the ball. He placed himself in the center of the three centrals, but it was very difficult for him to impose himself without faults when he left the site, much more comfortable in lateral centers. Each split ball caused panic at the option of him being late again and receiving the second yellow card. In the most positive section, he took out with his face a header that De Jong was already singing as a goal. In the second half he grew, showing himself much more confident and very forceful in the melee.

Handsome: The team did not have the ball or a long start, so Hermoso suffered a lot. Falling all the time to the left wing to try to cover the ascents of Jesús Navas and collaborate with Lodi first and Saúl later, Sevilla put him in trouble. Nobody threw a clearing into space and the high pressure of the local team did not allow him to contribute his ball output. He had the opportunity to draw as soon as Sevilla scored, but he finished well above when he was alone in the area.

Trippier: To the English they closed the doors for their shipments to the back of the rear, since they received the ball with the team very retracted and Diego Carlos and Acuña were warned of the danger play. He left very angry after seeing how his clearance hit Ocampos's hand and ended up assuming the recovery of the ball in the play of Acuña's goal.

I gave it: He was the one sacrificed shortly after the half hour of the game to try to give another rhythm and another dynamic to an Atlético completely overcome. But, like the Brazilian, several rojiblancos players could have been substituted. He played as a left winger, covering Carrasco's loss, but at no time could he be comfortable. He did not appear in attack and in defense he was completely surpassed with the climbs of Navas and the presence of Suso. Opportunity missed by Lodi, but in his favor it must be reiterated that the whole team was at a very low level in that first half hour of the meeting.

Saul: Back to eleven, starting in the center of the field, but without being able to give clarity, ball exit or strength in the middle. He committed the penalty that Oblak managed to solve with his save. He does not go through a good moment, neither physical nor mental, without confidence in his game and with the idea of ​​getting the ball off him when it arrives in a dangerous area. With the entry of Correa, he went to the left lane. In Sevilla's goal he did not cover the rise of Navas, he looked exhausted after so many back and forth. He was better seen on the side than in the middle, but far from the best Saul.

Koke: The captain suffered a lot to get the ball and possession in the middle. Sevilla prevailed from the first minute and was overwhelmed and arriving late to the pressure. In an arrival from the second row, he had the team's first chance, with a comfortable shot for Bono. Atlético needs to regain possession and the ability to dominate the games in the middle, something that has been losing with the passing of the games as well as the advantage it had with the pursuers. It seems that Koke needs a player by his side to help him in that facet, someone with physical deployment and with a ball out from behind, something that Lemar was forced to do by going down almost to his own area.

Llorente: It took Atlético a world to find him between the lines in the attack zone. In his own field he has a worse time turning and getting the ball out and where it is most dangerous the team did not know how to transfer the ball to him or find him into space in the first minutes. He tried to combine a lot with Trippier, but Sevilla closed the way on the right side. He will not be against Betis after seeing a yellow requesting the second from Diego Carlos, who seemed very clear when he left in a dangerous play. He improved in the second half, where he could appear more consistently in the game and generate more danger.

Lemar: He was the only player with a bit of clarity in the game in the first half, able to protect the ball from his back with his spins and to seek the less congested area. Despite the load of minutes with France, he tried to stretch the pressure and give the team rhythm and muscle. Now he is very confident in his game. In the second half, with the whole team, he was coming into play even more and appearing everywhere to give clarity to the team. Simeone replaced him after the Sevilla goal, a change that did not improve the team. He was being the best and the most unbalancing.

Luis Suarez: When Atlético plays so withdrawn on their own field, it complicates their life a lot. He cannot appear near the rival area and playing from his back was an almost impossible mission that he could control and become strong. Nor is he at this point in his career to play space and throw off-marks in the race from his own field. He will not be against Betis in a play where it seemed that Acuña was looking for him and tried to avoid the confrontation at all times. Great ball for Correa after controlling it from behind and putting it perfect for the Argentine, who could not tie in the discount.

Correa improved the team, but did not get the tie

Strap: His change improved the face of the team. He entered the half hour to vary the distribution and approach of the team, placing himself in the right profile and giving another dynamic in pressure and intensity when biting the rival behind. He had the tie in discount, but Bono avoided it with his leg after finishing with the outside very centered. With that surface of the foot had put a great center to Suárez at the beginning of the second half, but the Uruguayan did not arrive by little.

Herrera: He entered the field to give possession and strength to the team. It is essential that he recovers the version of the beginning of the season, where he was very important in the best Atlético that has been seen so far. Great delivery for Suárez in the play where Correa failed to score the tie. The team needs you.

Kondogbia: He saw the yellow and will not play against Betis, third loss due to suspension. Simeone replaced Lemar to give entry to Herrera and Kondogbia, something that provided positioning to deploy the offensive players, but losing the most incisive footballer.
