“Simeone leaves Morata on the bench”
Striker Álvaro Morata has lost his starting position at Club Atlético de Madrid, being a substitute in the last two games. Simeone has experimented with other forwards such as Memphis and Griezmann, indicating that Morata will not be a starter in the next league match against Sevilla.
Despite playing 23 LaLiga games with seven goals and one assist, his last goal was in January. With the departure of João Félix, Simeone has Correa, Griezmann, Morata, and Memphis to play in the attack, although Griezmann is the mainstay for the Argentine coach.
Morata, who has played 93 official matches with the club, is seven games away from having a plaque on the Centennial Players Walk of Atlético. His main goal is to finish among the top four to be able to play in the next Champions League. Although several teams wanted to sign him last summer, the club bet on him and wanted him to stay.

The sanction has been determined by article 99 of the disciplinary code of the Spanish Football Federation and is considered a serious offence. Despite this, the fact that Fernando was not a repeat offender and his request for an apology have been taken into account.
The absence of the player in the next matches will be a challenge for coach Sampaoli, since Fernando has participated in all the league matches since the championship resumed after the World Cup. During that time, Sevilla have achieved four wins, two draws and three losses. In contrast, prior to his return, the team underperformed, taking just six points from eight games played without him.

Llorente has been valued by Simeone for his rebelliousness and his positive attitude in the face of any challenge.

Although his role in the first part of the competition was practically residual, Hermoso took advantage of the second ‘pre-season’ to gain the trust of coach Diego Simeone. Since then, he has played every game and has stood out for his ability to start plays from the back and cover the backs of Carrasco and Lemar. In addition, Hermoso is on the pre-list of De la Fuente for the national team, which motivates him to continue pushing for future opportunities.

Samuel Lino, a player on loan at Valencia, has shown a good level in his last game against Atlético de Madrid. However, his future in the red and white team is uncertain due to the different playing systems used by Simeone and the lack of goals from the player.
If Atlético continues to play with a 4-4-2, Lino could fit in as a winger with dribbling skills and powerful one-on-one abilities. However, if the team plays with a 5-3-2, Lino would not have much room in the team. In addition, Atlético will transfer Carrasco and look for a replacement in the market, so Lino is not the only option. The final decision will be made at the end of the season.

Betis has announced that they will appeal to reduce their captain’s sanction, but Lahoz’s appointment has been seen as an act of mockery towards the club. The match will be directed by Martínez Munuera, while Lahoz will be in charge of the video assistant referee.

“Controversial referee assigned to Atlético-Betis match”
The Technical Committee of Referees has designated Martínez Munuera as the official referee for the match between Atlético Madrid and Betis. However, this choice has generated controversy due to the controversial decisions he has made in previous matches involving Atlético.
In particular, a penalty awarded to Reinildo in a match against Mallorca and a handball not called on Casemiro in a derby against Real Madrid are remembered. Additionally, Griezmann was sent off for protesting a penalty not awarded in Girona in 2017.
Despite this, Martínez Munuera has refereed Atlético in 24 matches, with a record of 14 wins, five draws, and five losses. Betis, on the other hand, has accumulated seven wins, four draws, and seven losses in the 18 matches that Munuera has refereed.

“Betis loses Sabaly due to injury”
Betis player Youssouf Sabaly will not be available for the match against Atlético de Madrid due to an ankle sprain suffered during the international break. He is expected to be out of action for three or four games.
This absence poses a big problem for coach Manuel Pellegrini, as Sabaly was standing out in his position. His options are Martín Montoya, who has not played for months, and Aitor Ruibal, who has proven to be a useful utility player in that position.
It is likely that Ruibal will be chosen to replace Sabaly. In addition, Guardado was also absent from training, but he is suspended and cannot play against Atlético.

“Morata seeks his chance in the starting lineup of Atlético de Madrid”
Álvaro Morata is preparing for his most important moment of the season, with his continuity in the team at stake. After serving as captain of the Spanish national team, the striker returns to Atlético with much to prove.
Taking advantage of Memphis’ injury, Morata hopes to earn a place in the starting lineup after scoring three goals in the last three games coming off the bench. Betis is a team that Morata has had success against, having scored seven goals against them in his career.
Additionally, Morata leads the team in goals this season and is in the running for the Zarra Trophy. His hard work and patience have contributed to the good atmosphere in the locker room and the competition generated within the team. Morata also surpasses other forwards in duels won, recoveries, possession gained in the final third, and completed dribbles. His prominence in the remainder of the season could determine his future with the team.
