Atletico Madrid Player Ratings vs Mallorca

Here are Atletico Madrid Player Ratings vs Mallorca

Goalkeeper

Jan Oblak - 7.0: It was a very quiet day at the office for the captain. He only had one significant save to make from a Martin Valjent shot, which he handled with ease. His distribution was clean and he commanded his area well. He was a spectator for large parts of the game, a testament to his team's dominance.

Defenders

Marcos Llorente - 7.5: A typically industrious performance. He was a constant outlet on the right, with 90 touches of the ball. He was solid defensively, winning most of his duels, and contributed to the attack. What stood out to us was his engine, just never stopped running.

José María Giménez - 7.0: A solid, no-nonsense display from the Uruguayan. He was strong in the air and made some key interceptions. Picked up a yellow card for a cynical foul, but it was a necessary one. He was a rock at the back.

Dávid Hancko - 7.5: An impressive outing. He won a high percentage of his tackles and was composed on the ball, even venturing forward to support attacks. We noticed he was rarely beaten one-on-one. A very complete defensive performance.

Marc Pubill - 7.5: Excellent from the full-back. He had a 91% pass accuracy and won all of his seven duels, which is just incredible. He was tidy in possession and disciplined in his defensive duties. A very mature performance that caught our eye.

Midfielders

Johnny Cardoso - 6.5: A steady, if unspectacular, performance. He did his job in the middle, breaking up play and keeping the ball moving. Was dribbled past a few times but recovered well. A solid cog in a well-oiled machine before being subbed.

Pablo Barrios - 8.0: He ran the show from midfield. With 82 touches, he was at the heart of everything good for Atlético. His passing was crisp and creative, and he was unlucky not to score himself. A masterful display.

Álex Baena - 6.5: He was lively and looked to create but was a bit wasteful in possession. He worked hard for the team during his hour on the pitch. Showed some nice touches but the final ball was sometimes lacking.

Giuliano Simeone - 6.5: A bundle of energy as always. He pressed relentlessly but his end product didn't quite match his work rate. He missed a decent headed chance early in the second half. A frustrating day for him personally, but he played his part.

Forwards

Alexander Sørloth - 8.5: Our man of the match. His 22nd-minute goal was the perfect striker's finish, and he was a physical menace throughout. He held the ball up brilliantly and was a constant threat in the air. A superb all-around centre-forward performance that set the foundation for the win.

Julián Alvarez - 8.0: A creative spark. He created three key chances for his teammates and was a nightmare to defend against with his dribbling. He didn't get on the scoresheet, but his contribution was immense. From our perspective, his movement was top class.

Substitutes

Thiago Almada - 7.5: Came on and scored a well-taken goal. Looked sharp and dangerous.

Robin Le Normand - 6.5: Slotted in seamlessly at the back to see out the game.

Nico González - 6.0: Picked up a booking shortly after coming on but helped maintain control.

Koke - 6.5: Almost scored with a great shot that forced a brilliant save.

Manager

D. Simeone - 8.5: His game plan worked to perfection. His team was aggressive, organized, and clinical. The substitutions were timed well and had a positive impact. A flawless day at the office for the gaffer.

Mallorca Player Ratings vs Atletico Madrid

Here are Mallorca Player Ratings vs Atletico Madrid

Goalkeeper

Leo Román - 7.5: Despite conceding three goals, he was arguably Mallorca's best player. He made a staggering seven saves, including some truly outstanding stops. Without his heroics, the scoreline could have been much, much worse. A brilliant individual performance in a losing effort.

Defenders

Pablo Maffeo - 6.0: He had a difficult evening against Atlético's fluid attack. He worked hard and made a few tackles but was often on the back foot. Was subbed with about 15 minutes to go after a tireless shift.

Martin Valjent - 6.0: The captain was tidy on the ball but struggled to contain the opposition's forwards. He made a number of clearances but the pressure was just relentless. Had one of Mallorca's few shots on target.

David López - 4.0: A truly disastrous performance. He was tormented all game and made a huge number of clearances under duress. The unfortunate own goal was the final nail in the coffin. A night he will want to forget very quickly, compounded by a late yellow card.

Johan Mojica - 5.5: He struggled to make an impact going forward and was caught out defensively a few times. Lost possession too frequently and just couldn't handle the pace of the game. A tough night for him.

Midfielders

Omar Mascarell - 5.5: Overrun in the midfield battle. He was dribbled past on multiple occasions and struggled to impose himself on the game. Cleared the ball five times, which shows how much pressure he was under.

Samú Costa - 5.0: He battled hard, as shown by his 19 duels, but he came out second best too often. He was tenacious but ultimately outclassed by the Atlético midfield. Looked exhausted when he was substituted.

Sergi Darder - 6.5: One of the few Mallorca players who showed real quality on the ball. He had a high pass completion rate and looked to create chances when he could. A bright spark in an otherwise gloomy team performance.

Antonio Sánchez - 5.0: Largely anonymous. He failed to make any real impact on the game and was substituted just after the hour mark. He worked hard but offered very little in an attacking sense.

Forwards

Mateo Joseph - 5.5: Provided the cross for an early Muriqi chance but that was his most notable contribution. He was isolated for long periods and struggled to get involved. Looked a bit lightweight against a strong defence.

Vedat Muriqi - 6.5: A frustrating night for the big striker. He won a lot of aerial battles and was a physical presence but his finishing let him down. He missed a great headed chance early on that could have changed the game. Fought a losing battle all night.

Substitutes

Takuma Asano - 5.5: Brought on to add energy but couldn't influence the game.

Jan Virgili - 5.5: Didn't see much of the ball after coming on.

Pablo Torre - 6.0: Looked tidy and provided a nice cross for Valjent's chance.

Mateu Morey - 5.5: Came on late and had little time to make a mark.

Javi Llabrés - N/A: Came on too late to rate.

Manager

J. Arrasate - 5.0: His team was completely outplayed and out-thought. They had no answer to Atlético's intensity and shape. The defensive setup was breached far too easily, and they offered next to nothing going forward. A tough day at the drawing board.
