The 3️⃣ key players for Atleti against Seattle Sounders
Pablo Barrios has scored the first 'brace' of his professional career in a key match in the FIFA Club World Cup. Register on DAZN to watch all FIFA Club World Cup matches for FREE Atlético de Madrid defeated Seattle Sounders 3-1 at Lumen Field in a match corresponding to the second day of Group B of the FIFA Club World Cup, achieving a vital victory to stay alive in the competition. On OneFootball, we tell you who the three protagonists of the game were... Pablo Barrios, absolute star There is no doubt that the 'Atleti' youth player is always a threat when he steps into the opponent's area, but for the first time in his professional career, he has been able to score two goals in a single match. Both goals were of high quality, with brilliant finishes: a shot from the edge of the box that hit the crossbar before going in and then scored with a subtle touch to the far post. A player to dominate matches. What about Sørloth? The Norwegian forward is not having a good time in the United States. After missing a golden opportunity against PSG, he squandered a couple of very clear chances against Seattle Sounders. Although Diego Simeone's team managed to defeat Seattle Sounders, they missed several chances, and the ones Sørloth had were unbelievable misses. Axel Witsel made his mark The Belgian player had been on the pitch for just a minute and a half (having come on for José María Giménez) when he scored a goal in what was his first action of the match. The experienced Belgian footballer capitalized on a rebound after a shot from Marcos Llorente to score the temporary 2-0. A key goal because Seattle Sounders had come out with a lot of momentum in the second half. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Barrios brace helps Atletico Madrid bounce back against Seattle after PSG drubbing
SEATTLE, June 20 — Pablo Barrios scored twice as Atletico Madrid bounced back from their Club World Cup opening defeat to Paris Saint-Germain with a 3-1 win over the Seattle Sounders yesterday. Atletico were outclassed by PSG in a 4-0 loss at the Rose Bowl in Group B on Sunday but their quality was on full display in a convincing victory at Lumen Field. Seattle were hoping to emulate Inter Miami's upset victory over European opposition earlier in the day but while the Florida side can call on Lionel Messi, the Sounders have more modest talents and were fortunate to escape a heavier loss. The Spanish side looked determined to put the game to bed as soon as possible and with some better finishing they might have done so. Norwegian Alexander Sorloth missed an early opening and then Julian Alvarez showed deft footwork to weave his way into the box but floated his shot wide of the post. But the breakthrough came in the 11th minute when Giuliano Simeone, son of Atletico coach Diego, burst down the right and crossed low to Barrios whose fierce strike crashed in off the underside of the bar. Sorloth then wasted a great chance from close range, chesting down and blasting over the bar and he was denied by Stefan Frei when one-on-one with the Sounders keeper. It was one-way traffic but somehow Atletico only had the single goal to their name. They thought they had a penalty when Simeone was ruled to have been brought down in the box by Reed Baker-Whiting and the referee pointed to the spot but after being called to the monitor for a video review, he overturned his decision. At the other end, Baker-Whiting whistled a shot just wide on the stroke of half-time as Seattle began to show some of the spirit that they had shown in their narrow 2-1 loss to Botofogo in their opener. Simeone brought on Belgian Axel Witsel at the break and the 36-year-old made an instant impact — Marcos Llorente's shot was tipped onto the underside of the bar and Robin Le Normand clipped the ball across the box for Witsel to nod in and make it 2-0. That looked to be game over but Seattle fought back with a smart shot on the turn in the box from Albert Rusnak. Five minutes later though Barrios added his second when a long throw reached him at the back of the box and he placed his shot with precision into the far corner. Alvarez saw a volley from edge of the box hit the top of the post and the glimmer of hope gave Seattle cause to fight hard in the latter stages. The Sounders will be eliminated from the tournament if PSG avoid defeat against Botofogo later on Thursday. — AFP

WATCH: Axel Witsel doubles Atletico Madrid's lead over Seattle Sounders
Atletico Madrid on course for their first points of the 2025 Club World Cup against Seattle Sounders, having gone 2-0 up over the MLS side. Diego Simeone's side were thrashed 4-0 by European champions Paris Saint-Germain in their opening match, so a bounce-back is needed against Seattle. And they had an excellent start after scoring in the 11th minute courtesy of midfielder Pablo Barrios. Advertisement Goal number two has now arrived for Atleti, coming just minutes into the second half. And it is Axel Witsel, who was introduced at the interval by Simeone, that has netted his side's second of the evening. Marcos Llorente was very unlucky not to score, but Witsel made sure that Atleti got the goal they needed to double their advantage. Breathing space has now been installed, and Simeone will hope that his side are able to see out proceedings without any complications arising. If so, it would be a confidence-boosting victory for Los Colchoneros.
