With Álvarez Absent: Atlético Madrid Crush Sevilla to Top La Liga
- On Saturday, Atletico Madrid defeated Sevilla 3-1 at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, moving to the top of the early Liga table. The Rojiblancos victory helped them past the noise of transfer speculation surrounding striker Julian Alvarez.
- Striker Julian Alvarez missed the matchday squad following fan backlash during a 2-2 home draw with Villarreal last weekend. Alvarez seeks a Barcelona move, though his club refuses to negotiate with the Catalans.
- With Alvarez absent, Alex Baena opened the scoring in the fourth minute from a Lee Kang-in pass. Ademola Lookman doubled the lead in the 26th minute, followed by Baena's second goal in the 33rd minute.
- Sevilla improved after halftime, pulling one back through Miguel Sierra's volley in the 66th minute. The hosts never threatened a comeback, leaving Atletico Madrid with seven points from three matches.
- Manager Diego Simeone has guided his side to seven points from their first three fixtures. The team now sits at the top of the domestic Liga standings, having overcome the transfer uncertainty surrounding Alvarez.
