Atlético de Madrid lost to Sevilla FC (1-0) on Sunday evening in La Liga, and above all lost their top scorer Alvaro Morata, who suffered a serious knee injury!
Atlético is certainly left behind in the race for the La Liga title, but Diego Simeone’s team is in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey (against Bilbao) and is playing in the round of 16 of the Champions League against Inter Milan ( first leg in nine days at Meazza). But Antoine Griezmann may not be able to count on Alvaro Morata at his side!
The Spanish center forward went off injured at the end of the first half, after a bad reception, and, once on the sidelines, complaining about his knee, he burst into tears. The images are terrible and the exams the 31-year-old will take could deliver a terrible verdict. Morata is the Colchoneros’ top scorer, with 13 goals in the league, 5 in the Champions League and one in the Copa del Rey.
Atlético, a 4th in danger
Quickly led to Sanchez-Pizjuan, on a goal from Isaac Romero in the 15th minute of the game, for his fifth goal in six matches, Atlético failed to equalize. Memphis Depay was started for the second half in place of Morata. “Grizi” and the Dutch crack both missed a huge opportunity.
Atlético, fourth in the standings, is now 13 points behind leader Real Madrid. And the Matelassiers are only three points ahead of Bilbao, who play Almeria on Monday evening. The Sevillians of Sergio Ramos move up to 15th position.
