Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of Atlético Madrid 3-1 Levante in the La Liga on Saturday, 08 November 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Atlético Madrid secured a convincing 3-1 victory over Levante at home, extending their winning streak to three matches. The result was not surprising given their recent form, having previously defeated Sevilla and Real Betis. Key moments included an early own goal by Levante and two goals from Antoine Griezmann, showcasing his pivotal role in the match. Levante, on the other hand, struggled to break their losing streak, with this defeat marking their fourth game without a win.

Despite Levante taking the lead through Marcos Sanchez, Atlético Madrid’s dominance was evident throughout the match. The home side’s ability to turn the game around with Griezmann’s brace highlighted their resilience and attacking prowess. This performance further solidifies Atlético Madrid’s position as a strong contender in the league, while Levante faces increasing pressure at the bottom of the table.

Atlético Madrid’s control of the game was reflected in their 74% possession compared to Levante’s 26%. This dominance translated into 21 corners for Atlético Madrid, significantly outnumbering Levante’s four. Despite Levante’s higher successful dribble percentage at 40% against Atlético Madrid’s 24%, it was the home team that dictated the tempo and created more scoring opportunities. The match saw a total of four yellow cards, with three issued to Atlético Madrid players, indicating their aggressive approach to maintaining control.

The match’s turning point came early with an own goal by Levante in the 12th minute, setting the tone for Atlético Madrid’s comeback. Levante briefly took the lead with a goal from Marcos Sanchez in the 21st minute, but it was short-lived. The game shifted decisively in the 61st minute when Antoine Griezmann scored, assisted by Marcos Llorente, followed by another goal from Griezmann in the 80th minute, securing the win for Atlético Madrid.

Atlético Madrid deployed a 4-4-2 formation with Jan Oblak in goal and a solid backline featuring Marcos Llorente and José María Giménez. The midfield was controlled by Koke and Pablo Barrios, providing stability and creativity. Up front, Alexander Sørloth and Julián Alvarez led the attack, with Antoine Griezmann’s introduction as a substitute proving decisive in the outcome of the match.

Levante lined up in a 4-4-2 formation with Mathew Ryan in goal and a defense led by Jeremy Toljan and Adrián de la Fuente. The midfield was anchored by Unai Elgezabal and Jon Ander Olasagasti, who struggled to contain Atlético Madrid’s attacking threats. Despite an early goal from Marcos Sanchez, Levante’s forward line, including Roger Brugué and Karl Etta Eyong, failed to capitalise on limited opportunities, contributing to their defeat.

Antoine Griezmann was rightfully named Man of the Match for his impactful performance off the bench. His two goals in the 61st and 80th minutes turned the game in Atlético Madrid’s favor, showcasing his clinical finishing and ability to influence the match decisively. Griezmann’s contribution was crucial in securing the three points for his team.
