Matheus Cunha - Takes four shots in win Cunha took four shots (one on goal) and created one chance during Sunday's 1-0 win over Real Madrid.

Impact Cunha made his first start in almost four months and looked better than he has in other appearances. If Luis Suarez continues to get left on the bench, we could get a better read on what Cunha can produce over the final games of the season. Up next is a trip to Elche, which have conceded 48 goals in 35 matches.

Mario Hermoso - Credited with own goal Hermoso was credited with an own goal and conceded a yellow card during Saturday's 2-0 loss to Athletic Club.

Impact Hermoso also won two-of-two tackles and made five clearances during a one-sided road loss. While his name comes away with a goal against, it was an impressive Inaki Williams that forced Hermoso into a bad spot to open the scoring.

Jan Oblak - Concedes two in loss Oblak conceded two goals (one penalty) and made three saves during Saturday's 2-0 loss to Athletic Club.

Impact Oblak was beaten once in each half thanks to an own goal and a penalty and both goals were instigated by Inaki Williams. He's still kept two clean sheets in his last four matches and will next face Real Madrid, which have just clinched the title but will still be a tough team to best.

Rodrigo De Paul - Comes off bench in loss De Paul created one chance in 25 minutes of Saturday's 2-0 loss to Athletic Club.

Impact De Paul has started just once in the last four matches and was one of his side's most creative players back in the Apr 20 draw with Granada. As that came against one of the league's lesser sides, De Paul's lack of playtime doesn't help much more with his value. Up next is the derby against Real Madrid.

Yannick Carrasco - Adds three crosses in loss Carrasco provided three crosses (two accurate) and put one shot off target during Saturday's 2-0 loss to Athletic Club.

Impact Carrasco certainly made some dangerous plays, including one solo run that nearly got his side on the board, but in the end was pulled two-thirds into the contest. With the only two goals scored by Atleti coming from Carrasco over the last four league matches, he'll remain important in Sunday's derby against Real Madrid.

Antoine Griezmann - Creates two chances in loss Griezmann created two chances and took two shots (one on goal) during Saturday's 2-0 loss to Athletic Club.

Impact Griezmann spent most of the match trying to distribute from deeper in the midfield but that hasn't always been a role that yields great results for him. One would hope that he goes for his first goal in 15 games against Real Madrid, which are fresh off their league success.

MAY 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Luis Suarez - Plays poorly in loss Suarez put one shot on target in 70 minutes of Saturday's 2-0 loss to Athletic Club.

Joao Felix - Likely out for season Felix (hamstring) hinted in an Instagram post that he will miss the rest of the season with injury.

Impact Felix was taken off against Espanyol last weekend with a hamstring injury, and it seems likely that he will not return until the summer. This has not been confirmed by the club, but with no trophies left to play for he likely won't be rushed back into the squad while he recovers. Antoine Griezmann and Angel Correa will presumably be the starters up front for the remainder of the campaign, with Luis Suarez and Matheus Cunha adding options and depth to the position.

Reinildo Mandava - Plays first half in draw Reinildo conceded a yellow card and logged three tackles in 45 minutes of Wednesday's scoreless draw with Granada.

Impact Reinildo was taken out for Luis Suarez at halftime in an interesting choice to rotate the squad without much success. With full 90s in 11 straight starts before Wednesday, he'll hope for a longer outing in the next round at Athletic Club.

APRIL 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
