Referee Jesus Gil Manzano blows his whistle and we are underway at the Metropolitano!
Good afternoon and welcome to our live coverage of today's LaLiga game between Atletico Madrid and Levante at the Wanda Metropolitano.
Atletico Madrid come into today's game three points away from securing Champions League football, after fifth place Celta Vigo suffered a 1-0 defeat to Leganes on Saturday. Diego Simeone's men have won nine home games in a row in all competitions, keeping clean sheets in all of them and many would bank on them making it 10 in a row.
Relegation-threatened Levante are on a good run of form themselves, enjoying a five-game unbeaten run since head coach Paco Lopez took charge following the sacking of Juan Muniz. Levante are certainly not out of the mire at the bottom of the table, and it will take a big effort to stretch the five-point gap to 18th-placed Deportivo La Coruna today.
Levante could extend their unbeaten run to six games if they avoid defeat this afternoon, a feat they last achieved in March 2014. Levante are the fourth lowest scoring side in La Liga this season and they will have to do something special to break down an Atletico defence that has shipped only 15 goals all season.
Let's take a look at how the teams line up today...
Atletico Madrid (4-4-2): Jan Oblak; Sime Vrsaljko, Diego Godin, Stefan Savic, Lucas Hernandez; Angel Correa, Koke, Saul Niguez, Vitolo; Antoine Griezmann, Kevin Gameiro.
Atletico substitutes: Axel Werner, Jose Gimenez, Roberto Olabe, Fernando Torres, Juan Aguero, Juanfran, Gabi.
Levante: (4-4-2): Oier Olazabal; Pedro Lopez, Erick Cabaco, Rober Pier, Aly Abeid; Jason, Jefferson Lerma, Jose Campana, Jose Luis Morales; Roger Marti, Armando Sadiku.
The players are taking to the pitch and kick-off is moments away...
HALF-TIME: ATLETICO MADRID 1-0 LEVANTE.
Atletico Madrid lead at the break in what has largely been a very dominant performance for the home side. Angel Correa gave Simeone's men the lead with a low shot towards the far corner just after the half hour mark. Atleti had a penalty claim denied after Griezmann went to ground under a challenge by Olazabal, with the French international instead being booked for simulation. Levante have it all to do in this second half but as it stands, Atletico will secure their Champions League spot for next season.
Both teams are coming back out onto the pitch, ahead of the start of the second half.
FULL-TIME: ATLETICO MADRID 3-0 LEVANTE.
Fernando Torres marks his first La Liga appearance since he announced his departure from Atletico with a fine volley to round off a routine victory for the home side. Atletico were dominant throughout with Levante offering very little in the way of attack to really trouble Simeone’s side. Correa fired a low effort into the far corner to open the scoring before Griezmann was denied a penalty just before half-time, with the forward instead being booked for simulation. Levante improved after the break but it was never enough to trouble the Atleti defence, with Griezmann firing a powerful half-volley in at the near-post before Torres scored their third. A well-rounded performance from Los Colchoneros today and it puts them in good stead to secure a second place finish at the end of the season.
