Antoine Griezmann - Two assists on Sunday Griezmann had two assists while taking two off target shots, crossing once inaccurately and creating three chances during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Villarreal.
Impact Griezmann set up Angel Correa in the 18th and 56th minutes assisting both Atleti goals on Sunday. The forward ends his best season in recent memory with 15 goals and 16 assists in 38 appearances while taking 111 shots, crossing 131 times and creating 84 chances.

Ivo Grbic - Concedes once in 85 minutes Grbic allowed a goal while making five saves during Saturday's match against Villareal.
Impact Grbic conceded a goal in the ninth minute, but held Villarreal from there until his substitution in the 85th minute. Grbic ends the season allowing 12 goals in 12 appearances while making 36 saves and keeping one clean sheet.

Angel Correa - Nets brace Sunday Correa scored two goals while taking three shots (two on goal) and creating a chance during Sunday's match against Villarreal.
Impact Correa found the back of the net in the 18th and 56th minutes netting a brace in the final match of the season. Correa ends the year with nine goals in 35 appearances while providing one assist, taking 43 shots, crossing 22 times and creating 23 chances.

Axel Witsel - Sent off Sunday Witsel was shown a red card in the second half of Sunday's match against Villarreal.
Impact Witsel was shown the red card in the 71st minute forcing Atleti down to ten men. His first season in Spain ends with five clean sheets in 33 La Liga appearances (25 starts) mostly in a back-three rather than his more natural defensive midfield position. The 34-year-old will miss the first game of the next campaign through suspension.

Marcos Llorente - On bench against Villarreal Llorente (groin) is in Atletico's match day squad for Sunday's season finale against Villarreal.
Impact Llorente is available for selection Sunday for the first time since suffering a groin injury in mid-April, and he could see some playing time off the bench in midfield versus Villarreal.
JUNE 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Thomas Lemar - On bench vs. Villarreal Lemar (strain) is in Atletico's match day squad for Sunday's season finale against Villarreal.
Impact Lemar is back in the squad Sunday after recovering from a muscular injury that has sidelined him since mid-May, and he could see some playing time off the bench in midfield versus Villarreal.
JUNE 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Mario Hermoso - Starting against Villarreal Hermoso (personal) is in Atletico's starting lineup for Sunday's clash against Villarreal.
Impact Hermoso was not expected to be available for Sunday's season finale as he was expecting a child birth, but he's in the XI from the start alongside Stevan Savic and Axel Witsel in the back-three.

Marcos Llorente - Training with team Llorente (groin) returned to team training with Atletico Madrid on Friday and could be in contention to play in Sunday's season finale against Villarreal, Marca reports.
Impact Llorente has been sidelined since April with a groin injury he suffered in training, but he has returned to the group and could be available for selection against Villarreal on Sunday.
JUNE 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Memphis Depay - Won't be ready for Sunday Depay (calf) is still rehabbing his injury and will not be available for the season finale against Villarreal this weekend, Marca reported Friday.
Impact Depay had a couple of brilliant moments in his first season with Atletico Madrid, scoring four goals from eight La Liga appearances (three starts) since transferring from Barcelona in January. If the 29-year-old can stay fit -- he missed virtually all of April and May with injuries -- then he could be a regular starter alongside Antoine Griezmann in the front-two during the next campaign.
JUNE 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Mario Hermoso - Likely to miss season finale Hermoso is not expected to play in Sunday's clash against Villarreal due to the imminent birth of his child, Marca reports Friday.
Impact Hermoso had an interesting campaign as he started 21 consecutive league games from mid-January through last weekend, finishing with three goals, two assists and eight clean sheets across 25 La Liga appearances (23 starts) overall this season, plus another goal in the Champions League. Atletico's uptick in form in 2023 coincided with his run in the XI, but it's still not entirely certain the 27-year-old will be a regular in central defense next season with Stefan Savic, Jose Maria Gimenez (knee) and Reinildo (knee) returning to the mix.
JUNE 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Renan Lodi - Set to rejoin Atletico Lodi will be back with Atletico Madrid next season following the conclusion of his loan with Nottingham Forest.
Impact Lodi's loan deal did include an option to buy which it seems Nottingham Forest has opted not to take advantage of. With the Premier League club, the left-back started 26 of his 28 appearances in which he recorded 75 crosses (12 accurate), 15 corners and one assist. With Reinildo (knee) dealing with a long-term injury, Lodi could be in contention for the left-back spot at the start of the 2023-24 campaign.

Yannick Carrasco - Undergoing nose surgery Carrasco will undergo an operation to fix a broken nose and is a major doubt for Sunday's season finale against Villarreal, Marca reports Thursday.
Impact Carrasco's season is mostly likely over following this surgery, and he ends the campaign with seven goals and three assists across 35 La Liga appearances (26 starts) either on the left wing/left wing-back. Four scores during his last seven games since late April helped push the 29-year-old to his best single-season goals tally since 2016/17 in Spain, but he only has one year left on his contract and might be in for a summer of transfer rumors.

Joao Felix - Returns to Madrid Felix has completed his loan at Chelsea and will return to Madrid after new manager Mauricio Pochettino confirmed that he will not keep Felix, according to Atletico Madrid Presiden...
Impact Felix did not perform as expected with Chelsea since brought on by loan in January. He had recorded 14 starts in 20 appearances in all competitions, logging in just four goals on 59 shots (21 on target). It also does not help that Chelsea had one of their worst seasons, failing to score goals. The forward sat out for nine matches while struggling to produce goals from the forward and winger position. He will return back to La Liga where his future will be determined.
JUNE 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jose Maria Gimenez - Undergoes knee surgery Gimenez had arthroscopic knee surgery Wednesday and will miss the season finale against Villarreal on Sunday.
Impact Gimenez will end the season having played in 28 La Liga matches (26 starts) in which he generated two goals on 22 shots (eight on target), one assist and 135 clearances. In addition, the defender featured in all five Champions League contests for the club as well, adding another 19 clearances, six interceptions and six tackles. Barring any setbacks, it seems Giminez will be ready to return in time for the start of the 2023-24 campaign.

Yannick Carrasco - Sends in six crosses in win Carrasco generated one shot (zero on goal), six crosses (zero accurate) and five corners in Sunday's 2-1 victory over Real Sociedad.
Impact Carrrasco had a good outing to help Atletico earn the win at home. The left-back led his side in crosses as usual, while taking five of their six corner kicks in the match. He's been very productive on offense lately, logging six goals and three assists in his last 14 starts.

Mario Hermoso - Makes three interceptions in win Hermoso had two shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and three interceptions in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Real Sociedad. In addition, he was given a yellow card in th...
Impact Hermoso had a good all-around performance to help Atletico earn three points at home. The centerback led his side in interceptions, while also taking the second-most shots. He did receive his fourth yellow card of the season, though.

Nahuel Molina - Scores versus Real Sociedad Molina scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-1 win against Real Sociedad.
Impact Molina scored in the 73rd minute to double Atletico's lead at home, helping his side earn the home win. The right-back had a quiet outing other than that, though. He's doing well offensively since April, posting four goals and one assist in the last 10 games.
MAY 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Antoine Griezmann - Scores and assists in win Griezmann scored one goal and assisted once from four shots and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Real Sociedad.
Impact Griezmann was the man of the match to help Atletico earn three points at home. The forward first scored the opener in the 37th minute, before assisting Nahuel Molina in the 73rd to double their lead. He's been on fire lately, posting six goals and six asssists in the last nine games.
MAY 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ivo Grbic - Makes four saves in win Grbic recorded four saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 2-1 win versus Real Sociedad.
Impact Grbic did well for most of the game, but conceded in the 88th minute. The goalkeeper also matched his second-most saves in the campaign so far. He has one clean sheet in seven starts since taking over from the injured Jan Oblak, and will look for his second in the season finale at Villarreal on Sunday.
MAY 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Alvaro Morata - Back in squad Sunday Morata (neck) was named to the match-day squad versus Real Sociedad on Sunday.
Impact Morata had started five straight matches prior to sustaining his neck injury that was originally expected to sideline him for the rest of the year. The forward should be in contention to retake his spot on the pitch versus Villarreal on Sunday with his injury seemingly behind him. In those prior five starts, Morata registered three goals on 18 shots (nine on target) and should serve as the focal point of the attack if he starts.
MAY 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Stefan Savic - Back in squad Sunday Savic (toe) was an unused substitute versus Real Sociedad on Saturday.
Impact Savic was back in the squad following a six-match stint on the shelf due to his toe problem. Barring any setbacks, the central defender could be in the mix to reclaim his place in the starting XI heading into the season finale versus Villarreal on Sunday. If he does feature, Savic should generate plenty of defensive stats but won't offer much in the way of value in the offensive third.
MAY 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Rodrigo De Paul - Suspended for finale De Paul picked up his fifth yellow card of the season and will serve a one-match ban versus Villarreal on Sunday.
Impact De Paul will miss the season finale after having featured in the starting XI for 24 of his 30 appearances for the club this season. For the 2022-23 campaign, the midfielder generated two goals on 21 shots (five on target), seven assists and 47 crosses (12 accurate).
