Atletico Madrid faced Real Betis at home today. In the first half, Carrasco opened the scoring, followed by an unfortunate own goal from Pezzella in the second half, and Félix capped off the match with another goal, leading to a straightforward 3-0 win for Atletico. As a result, they maintained their position in 4th place in the league standings.
As La Liga unfolds, Atletico Madrid faced a challenging matchup against Levante recently, which resulted in some controversy concerning free kicks. Their previous match saw them come up short against Real Betis, and over the weekend, Atletico is preparing for an away game at Anfield, where they aim to capture the title from Liverpool.
Though Atletico Madrid met a formidable opponent in Betis, the latter was riding a wave of momentum with three consecutive wins, including a remarkable 4-1 victory over Valencia. Nonetheless, Atletico brushed aside Betis, serving as an appetizer for their upcoming encounter with Liverpool.
In today's match, Atletico Madrid displayed a relentless attacking style. Griezmann had two early attempts that didn't find the back of the net, while Suarez and Correa kept the Betis defense on high alert, allowing for opportunities for Griezmann and Carrasco to shine.
About 25 minutes into the match, a quick play from Atletico’s right wing set Carrasco free on the left. He skillfully outmaneuvered Montoya, spinning past him before unleashing a powerful left-footed shot into the goal.
As the first half drew to a close, Carrasco delivered a performance reminiscent of Iniesta. He skillfully dribbled past at least five opponents, showcasing his incredible footwork, but unfortunately, his final strike went off target.
In today’s football landscape, such dazzling dribbling skills are increasingly becoming a rarity.

In the 62nd minute, Atletico Madrid earned a corner, leading to an unfortunate own goal from Betis defender Pezzella, who inadvertently headed the ball into his own net while attempting to clear.
After taking the lead, the heavy rain affected Betis’s ability to mount a serious offensive. João Félix, who came on later in the match, utilized his speed on a counterattack to score, helping Atletico secure all three points with a 3-0 victory over Betis.
The Premier League has postponed the match between Leicester and Everton due to issues related to player availability.
