But: Álvarez (61e) for the Colchoneros
Faller from PSG a few days ago, Atlético de Madrid confirmed their return to form in the Balearic Islands, on the pitch of Real Mallorca (0-1). The meeting was generally boring, and Jan Oblak was able to do well, especially ahead of Cyle Larin (41e).
Oblak in the spotlight
At game time, the Slovenian goalkeeper also recalled all his qualities on the ball to anyone who doubted it. Coming out of a corner, his exceptional clearance in the run of Giuliano Simeone undoubtedly constitutes the penultimate pass of the weekend. The Argentinian winger and son of Cholo fights, passes in front of his defender before shifting Julián Álvarez to his left. The 2022 world champion pushes the balls into the back of the net deserted by Dominik Greif (0-1, 61e). The Colchoneros are slowly getting back to their fundamentals after being disrupted in October.
Still a small point behind Real Madrid, runner-up, as it turns out.
