Joao Félix stole the spotlight at Wanda Metropolitano, delivering a sensational hat-trick as Atletico Madrid crushed Sevilla 5-1 in a dominant display.
 

Atletico Madrid sent a powerful message to their La Liga rivals with a resounding 5-1 victory over Sevilla. The hero of the night was none other than Joao Félix, who dazzled with a masterful hat-trick.

From the first whistle, Atletico showcased their attacking intent. Félix opened the scoring in the 12th minute, curling a stunning shot into the top corner after a brilliant solo run. Sevilla, caught off guard, struggled to regain composure.

In the 27th minute, Félix struck again. This time, he pounced on a defensive error, calmly slotting the ball past the helpless goalkeeper. Sevilla managed to pull one back through Lucas Ocampos, giving the visitors a glimmer of hope.

However, Atletico maintained their dominance. Félix completed his hat-trick early in the second half with a powerful header from a well-placed cross by Yannick Carrasco. The stadium erupted in applause, acknowledging the young star’s brilliance.

Goals from Antoine Griezmann and Álvaro Morata sealed the emphatic win for Atletico. Griezmann’s curling free kick in the 70th minute and Morata’s clinical finish in the dying moments added to Sevilla’s misery.

Post-match, manager Diego Simeone lauded Félix's performance, calling it “a showcase of pure talent and determination.” Fans chanted Félix's name throughout the stadium, celebrating what many described as his best game in Atletico colors.

This victory moves Atletico closer to the top of La Liga, signaling their intent to challenge for the title. Sevilla, meanwhile, faces serious questions about their defense after such a humbling defeat.
