Levante UD returns empty-handed from the Riyadh Air Metropolitano.

Levante UD could not score any points in their visit to Atlético de Madrid despite managing to equalize the score with a goal from Manu Sánchez after the Madrid team scored just a few minutes into the match. A brace from Griezmann practically sealed the game, but the Granota team did not give up and managed to narrow the gap thanks to a goal from Carlos Álvarez, which was disallowed and ultimately did not count. Despite the Levante players' fight, the three points stayed in Madrid.

The home team wanted to take control of the ball from the very beginning. They succeeded and began to hover around Levante's area within a few minutes. The first notable chance came in the sixth minute with a shot from Barrios that Ryan deflected. Shortly after, from a corner kick, following a pass from Baena, Sorloth narrowly missed a shot in front of the goal. The persistence of the Madrid team paid off, and in the 11th minute, they managed to open the scoring after a cross from Barrios that Ryan deflected. The ball hit Dela's body and ended up in the Granota goal.

After the goal, Levante UD reacted immediately and managed to equalize the match. Toljan forced a corner kick, which was then taken by Olasagasti, and Manu Sánchez headed it into the back of the net.

The Levante players wanted the joy of the goal to last and worked hard to protect their goal from the attacks of the Colchoneros. Giuliano threatened the draw with a header that Ryan saved. The home team sought another goal, stringing together numerous corner kicks in the final stretch of the first half, but the Valencians held on, and the first half ended with a 1-1 scoreline.

After the restart, the score changed following the entry of Griezmann. Just after coming onto the field, the forward headed in a cross from Llorente to make it 2-1. Atlético de Madrid sought a third goal to widen the gap and leave the Granota team reeling. However, Levante UD was not willing to let that happen and also tried to take advantage of their opportunities. They attempted with a corner kick taken by Carlos Álvarez, which Oblak saved almost on the goal line after a header from Koyalipou.

With ten minutes remaining in regulation time, the home team achieved their goal and scored a third through Griezmann. Ryan deflected the forward's initial shot, but the rebound ended up in his goal. Levante UD responded again with a shot from Morales, following an assist from Carlos Álvarez, which Oblak deflected. Shortly after, the Levante players scored a second goal through Carlos Álvarez, but the referee, after a VAR review, disallowed the play, and the goal did not count.

In the end, Levante UD returned empty-handed from Madrid in another match where the Granota team put up a fight but did not get a reward.
