Dutch striker Memphis Depay shone in his first start for Atletico Madrid as he scored twice in a 6-1 thrashing of Sevilla, who were reduced to 10 men late on, in LaLiga on Saturday.
Sevilla played a five-man defence but could not deal with the relentless intensity of Atletico who were led by an inspired pair in Depay and Antoine Griezmann.
Starting his first game for Atletico since arriving from Barcelona in January, Depay recovered the ball in midfield, gave it to Griezmann and ran up front to receive a long pass from the French forward before slotting past the goalkeeper in the 23rd minute. When Atletico were in full control, Youssef En Nesyri was quick enough to beat goalkeeper Jan Oblak inside the box and hit back for Sevilla from close-range in the 39th.
"It was an important day for Simeone and I wanted it to be a magical day also for the fans and for my team mates," Griezmann told Movistar Plus.
