Overview

• Atlético led 3-0 by halftime through Giacomo Raspadori, Robin Le Normand and Antoine Griezmann, with Jonathan Burkardt briefly cutting the margin before Giuliano Simeone and Julián Álvarez finished it off, the latter via a Panenka penalty.
• Griezmann’s goal was his 200th for Atlético, making him the first player in club history to reach that mark.
• Julián Álvarez stood out with multiple assists and the late penalty, while Giuliano Simeone contributed a goal and an assist in a dominant display.
• Diego Simeone watched from the stands due to a sanction linked to an incident at Anfield as his rotated side controlled the match throughout.
• Looking ahead, Atlético travel to Arsenal on October 21 and Eintracht host Liverpool, with early group dynamics tightened by this result.
