Ratings: Atlético Madrid end 2023/24 with a victory at Real Sociedad

Oblak

Ends the season with a clean sheet as speculation ramps up about his future at Atlético Madrid. Made good saves on Sheraldo Becker and Take Kubo to cap a difficult campaign (68 goals shipped) on a high note. 6.5

Llorente

Assisted Samuel Lino’s goal with a wipeout cross that fizzed all the way to goalkeeper Álex Ramiro’s back post. It completed a strong bounce-back season from Llorente, who reached 10 goal contributions (6 scored/4 assisted) for the first time since that remarkable 2020/21 season — and might have booked himself a place in the Spain squad for Euro 2024. 7.5

Witsel

Quick passing and positional awareness saw Witsel end the season on a high note as Atlético ponder a renewal offer for the 35-year-old Belgian. 5.5

Giménez

Aggressive and assured, showing again what he offers when he’s not on the treatment table. Made nine clearances and two blocks, but looked a little shaky in the tackle as he was dribbled past three times. 7

Azpilicueta

Made a goal-line clearance in the first half and showcased his versatility as well as veteran know-how during his duel with La Real star Take Kubo. Opened lanes for players like Lino with his off-ball movement. 6.5

Lino

Opened the scoring on nine minutes with a smart finish at the back post, his fourth goal in LALIGA this season. Simeone will demand more from his left wing-back next season, but Lino looks primed to meet the challenge after completing a superb debut season in Madrid. 7.5

Koke

Played to his strengths, switching the play and bringing wide players into the game. The captain picked up a yellow card for dissent in the first half, but other than that, he played a fine game, showcasing his long-ball delivery and defensive awareness with five recoveries. 6

Vermeeren

Made simple and sharp passes, completing all 18 of his attempts. Punished with a yellow card for a sloppy tackle on Kieran Tierney in the first half. 6

De Paul

Split the opposition center-backs repeatedly with well-placed passes. The World Cup winner executed on some tricky passes and made six passes into the final third over his 70 minutes. 7

Griezmann

Dropped back into space to receive the ball and link up with teammates. The France star lacked a clear opportunity to score himself, but he worked hard defensively to head the ball off the goal line. 5.5

Correa

Set up a good chance for Lino inside 15 minutes and had a goal of his own ruled out for offside. 4

Riquelme

Replaced Vermeeren after 57 minutes. Tough assignment with Kubo on his side but came out of it well, and he picked up a hockey assist on Reinildo’s game-sealing goal. 5

Hermoso

Replaced Lino after 69 minutes. Drawn into more pure defensive work than usual in what is likely his final Atlético appearance. 5

Saúl

Replaced de Paul after 69 minutes. Received two yellow cards and was sent off in the first minute of stoppage time, a sad end to his difficult season. 2

Morata

Replaced Correa after 69 minutes. Had a chance to score in the 79th minute off a Koke through ball, but his shot went just wide. Later picked up the assist on Reinildo’s 93rd-minute tap-in. 7

Reinildo

Replaced Azpilicueta after 83 minutes. Booked a few minutes after coming on for a stamp on Kubo’s right foot but made up for it in second-half stoppage time with a tap-in from Álvaro Morata’s cross — only his second goal in red and white. 7
