Tactical Analysis: Simeone’s masterclass victory against Sevilla

Atletico Madrid faced a challenging midweek game against a prominent Sevilla side on Tuesday night.

Two clinical goals from Angel Correa and Saul Niguez were enough to beat Sevilla and move Diego Simeone’s men four points clear of Real Madrid on top of the La Liga table with two games in hand.

It serves as no surprise that Atletico has the best defensive record of all teams in Europe’s top five leagues with goalkeeper Jan Oblak conceding a mere six goals in 16 games.

Atletico’s victory against Sevilla was another tactical masterpiece from Simeone as they recorded their 11th clean sheet of the season.
