The Atlético de Madrid experienced one of its most humiliating nights in the UEFA Champions League after a 4-0 defeat against Benfica on the second matchday of the tournament. This result equals their worst defeat in the history of the competition, a scoreline they had previously suffered against teams like Bayern Munich in 2020 and 1974, Borussia Dortmund in 2018, and Chelsea in 2009.

The disaster in Lisbon left three clear culprits in Diego Pablo Simeone's team, whose tactics were heavily criticized for the lack of response to the offensive onslaught by the Portuguese side.

The 3 key figures of Atletico's humiliating loss to Benfica

-Diego Pablo Simeone: Diego Simeone has been singled out as the main responsible for this disastrous outcome. The team did not show the defensive solidity that has been their hallmark under the Argentine's leadership, and in attack, chances were practically non-existent. Despite making significant changes while trailing 2-0 in the first half, they failed to produce the desired effect. Tactical decisions and the lack of reaction led the team to flounder aimlessly in one of Simeone's worst matches.

-Julián Álvarez: Julián Álvarez, one of the players expected to make a difference, had a very discreet performance. The Argentine forward failed to pose a threat and was substituted in the 60th minute after a game where he went almost unnoticed.

-Antoine Griezmann: Antoine Griezmann, on the other hand, also fell short. The Frenchman was replaced at halftime after a poor performance that reflected his low level in European competitions in recent years.

Although Simeone, Álvarez, and Griezmann were the most criticized, the rest of the team also failed to meet expectations, leaving a very negative impression in this painful defeat.
