Alvarez?s early golazo did not stand up. Starting XI
Oblak
Was kept on his toes with several crosses and attempts from distance. His reactive double save in the 13th minute kept Atlético Madrid, but he unfortunately conceded in the 84th minute from an audacious Luka Su?i? strike outside of the box. 4.5
Galán
A cautious dribbler, often opting for a back pass to try and maintain some possession. Did particularly well in his passing, connecting with the midfield and Antoine Griezmann up top. His lofted ball to the Frenchman led to the team?s goal in the opening minute. Defensively, Galán made a key tackle against a free Mikel Oyarzabal to prevent an open shot on net. 6

Lenglet
Making his debut appearance, Lenglet worked with Javi Galán and Josema Giménez to deny any gaps. His tackling could have been better, as the defender picked up a yellow card for his fouls in the second half. 4

Giménez
Compact in his positioning, quick in his attempts to disrupt Real Sociedad?s buildup through the middle. The 29-year-old made four clearances and three recoveries as Atlético defended for long stretches of the match. 6
Witsel
This kind of game was a good fit for him as La Real built up slowly and methodically to break Diego Simeone?s defensive deadlock. Could be seen on multiple occasions...
