Julian Alvarez shines as Atletico secures a convincing victory

At their home ground, Atlético Madrid showcased a remarkable display to overcome Royale Union SG with a 3-1 scoreline in a dramatic game that lasted until the final moments of stoppage time.

Right from the kickoff, coach Diego Simeone’s squad quickly took control of the game. Despite intense pressing from the visitors Royale Union SG, stars like Antoine Griezmann, Julian Alvarez, and Giuliano Simeone managed to make a difference. After several attacking attempts, the home team broke the deadlock in the 39th minute. Following a clever assist from Giuliano Simeone, Julian Alvarez calmly finished past goalkeeper Kjell Scherpen, putting Atletico Madrid ahead 1-0.

Before the first half ended, Griezmann scored again, but the VAR ruled it offside, nullifying the goal. Nevertheless, the Madrid side maintained dominance in possession and executed effective high pressing throughout the half.

In the second half, Simeone made several tactical changes by bringing on Thiago Almada, Conor Gallagher, and Alexander Sorloth. These substitutions diversified and enhanced Atletico’s attacking options.

At the 72nd minute, Gallagher made his mark with a stunning long-range shot from outside the penalty area, sending the ball into the top right corner of the net — a spectacular goal that extended Atletico Madrid’s lead to 2-0.

Royale Union SG then pushed back strongly. In the 80th minute, Ross Sykes reduced the deficit to 2-1 with a precise header from a Sofiane Boufal free kick, giving the visitors renewed hope. However, their efforts were quickly extinguished when Marcos Llorente, who replaced Giuliano Simeone, sealed the 3-1 win in the 90+6th minute with a cool breakaway finish.

Statistics show Atletico Madrid’s clear superiority, creating twice as many dangerous chances as their opponents, along with solid performances from goalkeeper Jan Oblak, who made at least two outstanding saves. Under Diego Simeone’s leadership, the Spanish club continues to demonstrate resilience and efficiency in European cup matches, especially at their Wanda Metropolitano home stadium.
