A day to forget for Atlético de Madrid. Beaten in the Copa del Rey in the middle of the week, the Madrid club once again bit the dust, this time in the league against Sevilla FC (1-0). In addition to this defeat which offers FC Barcelona the possibility of widening the gap in the standings in the event of success against Granada, the Colchoneros could lose Alvaro Morata for several weeks, or even several months.
While the 43rd minute was playing, the Spanish striker complained about his knee after a rough collision with Andalusian Boubakary Soumaré. After remaining on the ground for many minutes, the 31-year-old player was evacuated from the pitch, in tears and supported by two members of his staff. If the nature and seriousness of his injury remains to be determined, Atlético de Madrid as well as La Roja tremble at the idea of having to do without his services, he who is undoubtedly having the best season of his career (19 goals in 31 matches in all competitions).
