Atlético de Madrid 1-0 Deportivo Alavés: Takeaways
Atlético de Madrid played well and deserved their win over Deportivo Alaves on Sunday afternoon, but the Colchoneros were only secure a 1-0 win amid a nervy ending in front of 61,192 fans at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano. Alexander Sørloth’s 48th-minute header from Pablo Barrios’ looping cross saw Atlético finally break the deadlock after they recorded 16 shots without scoring in the first half. Atleti held Alavés without a shot on target for the entire match and recorded a 12th successive home win across all competitions, even after the visitors piled on the pressure in the dying minutes and narrowly missed a chance to equalize through Lucas Boyé. Let’s dive into some takeaways after Atleti pulled into a tie with Villarreal for third place in LaLiga: The defense of the future…today! Atlético kept another clean sheet on Sunday. Through 20 rounds, no team in Spain has conceded fewer goals than Atleti’s 17 (Real Madrid have conceded as many). The 56 shots on target that Atleti have conceded is the lowest figure in the league. The recent turnaround has taken Atleti from “below-average” at the back to “above-average” and even “good.” It has a lot to do with Marc Pubill and Dávid Hancko solidifying themselves as Diego Simeone’s starting central defenders. Álvaro Carreras and Eric García are the only defenders who have played more progressive passes in LaLiga than Hancko, who has consistently delivered since his €30 million arrival from Feyenoord six months ago. In a game that missed Koke’s influence for the first hour, Hancko did some traffic direction of his own: he led all players in completed passes. Out of possession, he made five clearances and four recoveries. Like Hancko, Pubill’s ball-carrying and passing range have modernized Atlético’s defense. The 22-year-old’s emergence over the past two months has helped the Atleti back line become more flexible and harder to crack in transition. Pubill won all six of his aerial duels against Alavés, made eight clearances in all and recovered the ball three times. Atleti paid €16 million to get him from Almería; his Spain debut this year feels inevitable. It’s not the biggest sample size, but in the seven games that Hancko and Pubill have started next to one another, Atlético have kept three clean sheets. The team’s record in those games? Five won, one drawn, one lost. “Follow the leader” and it’s Pablo Barrios Speaking to DAZN before the game, Atlético’s Director of Football Mateu Alemany praised the club’s academy setup — a pyramid at the top of which Atlético Madrileño, trying to win promotion to Segunda for the first time this century. “We have a brilliant academy,” Alemany said. “Atlético Madrileño are having an impressive campaign, fighting to be first in a tough division like the Primera RFEF. There are important projects (in lower divisions), the youth players are there to contribute and find spots in the first team.” Giuliano Simeone, one product of this academy, signed a new contract to 2030 earlier this week. Another, Barrios, has been Atleti’s best player this season and is fast becoming one of their leaders. Elite. https://t.co/pVpOvr7WFn— Into the Calderón (@intothecalderon) January 18, 2026 Barrios’ cross for Sørloth marked his first assist in the league, an oddity for someone who ranks as one of LaLiga’s most prolific carriers and distributors into the penalty area. Though Sørloth’s header kissed off the post for a great finish, Barrios’ assist capped his stellar all-around performance with five chances created, five recoveries and six tackles won. Remember last January, when Barrios was picking up red cards and struggling to stay on the pitch? This season, he has yet to pick up a yellow card in LaLiga, let alone a red card. His ball control has improved. He’s capable of organizing the team. He wins the ball cleanly and frequently while driving it forward at a high rate. And best of all? He’s been a Colchonero since the age of 14. Uno di noi. Buenas noches a los que…

Dominique Pelicot : aurait-on pu l'arrêter dès 2010 ?
Un an et demi après le procès de Dominique Pelicot, un rapport révèle que des prélèvements ADN auraient pu confondre le violeur dès 2010. Pourtant, des informations majeures avaient été envoyées dans un simple courrier adressé au magistrat du tribunal de Meaux. Ce courrier n’est cependant jamais arrivé. Ce dysfonctionnement a eu des conséquences dramatiques. Les viols de Mazan ont commencé en 2011, et certains estiment que Gisèle Pelicot aurait pu échapper à son calvaire.
