La Liga 2026–2027: Sevilla vs. Atlético Madrid, Probable Lineups

Sevilla and Atlético Madrid face off at 9 p.m. in a match for the third round of La Liga. The Andalusians have won their first two matches against Rayo Vallecano and Athletic Bilbao and are looking to maintain their perfect record at the top of the standings; for the Colchoneros, this is their first away game after playing their first two at home (a win against Málaga and a draw with Villarreal).

Garcia Plaza is once again starting Ure as the center forward, with Sierra, Fernandez, and Oso behind him. In midfield are Guridi and Agoume, while the back four consists of Iglesias, Sangante, Salas, and Suazo.

Atlético is grappling with the Julian Alvarez situation, which could affect the Madrid-based team: the Argentine, who was booed by fans in the last match, wants to join Barcelona and has been left off the roster. On Friday, he trained separately. Lookman plays up front with Lee Kang-in, Simeone, and Baena behind him. In midfield: Barrios (or Hjulmand) and Koke. Grimaldo and Llorente occupy the wings.

Atlético Madrid (4-2-3-1): Oblak; Llorente, Hancko, Pubill, Grimaldo; Barrios, Koke; Simeone, Kang-in, Baena; Lookman. Head Coach: Simeone.

At a press conference, Simeone sent a message to Alvarez: “He’s a very important player for Atlético Madrid. When he returns to the team, I’ll do everything I can to make him feel as important as he always has been. The club has been very clear about what will happen. I hope, from a sporting standpoint, to be able to help him.”
