Atlético de Madrid suffered a tough 3-1 defeat against Lille at the Metropolitano in the third matchday of the UEFA Champions League, seriously complicating their chances of progressing in the competition. With two losses in three matches, Diego Pablo Simeone's team is in a delicate position, far from the expected performance in Europe. Despite some questionable refereeing decisions, such as the penalty converted by Jonathan David after a controversial foul, the second half of the colchonero team was disappointing, and three players have been singled out for their poor performance.

The 3 players singled out from Atlético de Madrid against Lille

-Alexander Sorloth: Alexander Sorloth was one of the main criticisms after the game. The Norwegian forward wasted up to four clear chances in front of the opponent's goal (one disallowed for offside) and was substituted in the 65th minute when the score was still 1-1. His inability to finish in crucial moments raises doubts about his capability to meet the demands of being the starting '9' in a team of Atlético de Madrid's caliber.

-José María Giménez: Another player under scrutiny is José María Giménez. The Uruguayan, who should be the defensive pillar of the team, made a crucial mistake that allowed Lille to take the lead. His lack of solidity in decisive moments continues to affect the stability of the colchonero defense.

-Diego Pablo Simeone: Lastly, Simeone has also been subject to criticisms for his management from the sidelines. Lille significantly improved in the second half, in large part due to the tactical adjustments made by their coach. Meanwhile, Atlético's midfield did not function well: Rodrigo De Paul had a forgettable night with inaccuracies, Koke did not provide offensive solutions, and Gallagher was virtually invisible. Now, Atlético must rethink their strategy if they want to keep dreaming of qualification.
