Atlético Madrid 3-1 Levante UD: Player ratings

Atlético Madrid secured their sixth consecutive home win in LALIGA with a 3-1 victory over Levante UD, continuing their strong home form. This result also marks the first time since 1982 that the team has scored in their first 12 league matches of the season.

The match began with an own goal from Levante's Adrián de la Fuente, giving Atlético an early lead. However, Levante equalized before halftime with a header from Manu Sánchez, who was unmarked from a corner. In the second half, Antoine Griezmann came off the bench to score two goals, securing the win in a manner similar to their recent Champions League performance.

Player ratings from Into the Calderón highlighted mixed performances: Jan Oblak made a crucial late save but conceded a goal, while Marcos Llorente provided an assist and versatility by playing multiple positions. Defenders like José María Giménez and Dávid Hancko had inconsistent showings, with Giménez making a key block but also a mistimed tackle. Midfielders such as Koke and Álex Baena contributed positively, with Baena's move to central midfield leading to a goal. Attackers like Alexander Sørloth struggled with the team's strategy, and Julián Alvarez, despite not scoring, was named MVP, possibly due to popularity.
