“Unrewarded Siege
Atlético Madrid suffered a bitter 0-1 defeat at home against Athletic Club, despite almost constant siege and overwhelming ball possession during the last 60 minutes.
Simeone’s team wasted clear-cut goalscoring opportunities, particularly through Samu Lino and Memphis Depay, and committed a needless defensive error leading to a foolish penalty and Reinildo’s subsequent dismissal. Despite a total siege in the second half, the Colchoneros failed to equalize, missing a crossed ball from Mario Hermoso and Ángel Correa’s effort, and seeing a penalty in their favor canceled due to a controversial VAR decision. Now, Atlético Madrid faces the challenging task of overturning the deficit at San Mamés.
