Overview

• Atlético de Madrid drew 1-1 at Mallorca after Leo Román saved Julián Álvarez’s first‑half penalty at Son Moix.
• Diego Simeone substituted Álvarez in the 62nd minute for Alexander Sorloth, and cameras caught the forward saying “siempre a mí” on the bench.
• Sorloth was shown a red card about ten minutes later following a VAR review for a heavy challenge.
• Conor Gallagher put Atlético ahead in the 79th minute before Vedat Muriqi equalized late with a header for the hosts.
• The draw leaves Atlético on six points from five matches and nine behind leaders Real Madrid, as Simeone praised Álvarez as his best offensive option and said such anger at substitutions is normal.
