Atlético Madrid secures sixth consecutive win against Deportivo
Atlético Madrid maintained their six-match winning streak in La Liga with a 1-0 victory over Deportivo at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano. Julián Álvarez scored the decisive goal in the 48th minute following a cross from Alejandro Grimaldo.
South Korean midfielder Lee Kang-in returned to the starting lineup after missing the previous UEFA Champions League match against VfB Stuttgart due to a quadriceps contusion. Playing as a right winger, Lee recorded a 78 percent passing accuracy and successfully completed all four of his attempted dribbles during his 67 minutes on the pitch. Despite his active performance, Spanish media outlets like Marca noted the team's overall struggle to dominate the match, with some players receiving low ratings due to lackluster play.
Manager Diego Simeone expressed mixed emotions following the match, noting the difficulty in controlling the game's rhythm and the team's tendency to panic after failing to secure a second goal. The win keeps Atlético Madrid in second place with 25 points, trailing league leaders FC Barcelona by two points.
