Overview
- Atlético, which lost 2-1 at Sevilla on Saturday, made ten changes and started several academy players.
- Sevilla struck first from an Akor Adams penalty, then Nemanja Gudelj headed in during first-half stoppage time.
- Debutant Javier Boñar equalized with a close-range header from a Julio Díaz cross in a bright moment for the youth.
- Diego Simeone said "We have a plan" and argued Sevilla were more decisive, while praising the youngsters' character and ability.
- Focus now shifts to the Metropolitano, where Atlético hold a 2-0 aggregate lead over Barcelona and veterans like Antoine Griezmann and Koke should be fresh.
