A picture-perfect return from break. Starting XI:
Oblak
A quiet night overall for the keeper ? Valencia had only one shot on target for the game. Did particularly well with the ball at his feet, staying calm under pressure and passing it out from the back. 5

?? Atlético Madrid has not conceded a goal in four consecutive games, something that hasn?t happened since December 2020, the season they won La Liga.

Lino
The team?s dominance in possession gave the wing-back ample time to push forward and exploit space out wide. The opposition struggled to track Lino?s runs in behind, but his end product still lacks polish and he lost as many duels as he won. 6 Azpilicueta
Showed his experience in the back in a composed showing in and out of possession. His frequent passes over the top poked holes in Valencia?s backline on more than one occasion. 6
Giménez
Crisp and accurate with his passing, always willing to throw his body into a challenge at the other end. A healthy Giménez transforms Atlético Madrid?s defense; Los Rojiblancos have yet to ship a goal with the Uruguayan on the pitch this season. 6

Josema has played 630 mins and Atleti has not conceded a goal.
