Atletico Madrid player ratings vs Arsenal: Ademola Lookman proves a liability while Julian Alvarez goes missing and Giuliano Simeone wastes golden opportunity as shot-shy Rojiblancos come up short in Champions League semi-final

Jan Oblak (5/10):

Showed good command of his penalty area and was confident in possession, but will be disappointed with his weak parry that led to Saka's goal.

Marc Pubill (6/10):

Pretty assured at both right-back and then in central defence after a second-half reshuffle. Dealt with Arsenal's physicality better than most.

Robin Le Normand (5/10):

Coped relatively well with Gyokeres when the ball was played into the Swede. Slightly too slow to react as Oblak parried Trossard's shot, allowing Saka to score. Replaced before the hour mark.

David Hancko (5/10):

A much more assured presence than in the first leg, but did fail to cut out Saliba's through-ball into Gyokeres that eventually led to the goal at the end of the first half.

Matteo Ruggeri (6/10):

Beaten on a couple of occasions by Saka but ultimately held up pretty well despite his inexperience at this level.

Giuliano Simeone (4/10):

Unlucky when Rice tackled back to deny him in the first half, but needed to do better after rounding Raya early in the second. Allowed Trossard to cut onto his right foot too easily in the build-up to the opening goal. Substituted with more than half an hour remaining.

Marcos Llorente (5/10):

Made numerous blocks and interceptions in and around his own penalty box, but was unable to offer much going forward despite starting in his preferred midfield role.

Koke (4/10):

As expected, much of his game was spent trying to slow Arsenal down, which he did manage at times. Doesn't take enough risks in possession, however.

Ademola Lookman (3/10):

Just not at the races at all. Too often the ball bounced off him while he misplayed a number of passes. Struggled to track White going the other way before being taken off early in the second half.

Antoine Griezmann (4/10):

Tracked back to help out defensively throughout, but his final ball was too often lacking in the attacking third. Was the first Atleti player to test Raya early in the second half, but was replaced not long after. Sad way for his Champions League career to end.

Julian Alvarez (4/10):

Pressure from Saliba forced him to fire an early effort wide, and that was the only sight of goal the Argentine had before being withdrawn midway through the second half. Just could not get involved enough.

Alexander Sorloth (4/10):

Won his fair share of headers but fluffed his lines when presented with a late chance.

Nahuel Molina (5/10):

Struggled to get into the game after replacing Giuliano on the right.

Johnny Cardoso (6/10):

Looked to get Atleti moving forward through midfield.

Alex Baena (5/10):

Some neat and tidy passes after replacing Griezmann, but not much more. Blazed a late effort well over.

Thiago Almada (5/10):

Lacked the guile to open Arsenal up in his 25 minutes on the pitch.

Diego Simeone (5/10):

Understandably went for a similar system that he used in the second half of the first leg and was proactive with his substitutions, but his side offered nowhere near the attacking threat required to test the home defence.
