Despite revamping its roster this summer, Atletico Madrid began its La Liga season with a disappointing defeat. This unexpected loss puts the club immediately behind rivals Barcelona and Real Madrid, intensifying the pressure to rebound swiftly.

With a stellar record of 19 wins, 9 draws, and 5 losses totaling 66 points, Atletico Madrid is firmly positioned in third place in La Liga. As they prepare for their match against Alaves, the team’s consistent performance underscores their strong season.

Sevilla has dismissed head coach Garcia Pimienta following a fourth successive defeat that leaves the team 13th in La Liga. With only nine wins from 31 matches and just seven points clear of the relegation zone, the club seeks to reverse its fortunes.
