Conor Gallagher - Transfers to Atletico Gallagher has completed a transfer to Atletico Madrid from Chelsea, according to his new club.

Impact Gallagher has finally made the move to Atletico after weeks of conversation between the two parties, having joined the club on a five-year contract. In the past season, he only missed out on one match, starting in all 37 appearances while notching five goals on 48 shots and seven assists on 53 chances created. He was also involved on the defensive side of the ball, recording 30 clearances, 43 interceptions and 85 tackles. The midfielder is a decent two-way player who can be the engine of the midfield, likely gaining regular starting time with his new club once he is integrated into the squad.

Antoine Griezmann - Records assist Monday Griezmann assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Monday's 2-2 draw versus Villarreal.

Impact Griezmann has already grabbed his first goal contribution of the season in the club's first match, coming in the form of an assist after finding Marcos Llorente for the club's first goal of the game. He was decent outside of the assist, notching one shot on net, a chance created and four crosses. He will now look to match or top his goal tally from last season, bagging 22 in 33 appearances.

Impact Barrios got the start and played the full 90 Monday, putting on a decent display after assisting on Alexander Sorloth in the 45th minute. This already matches his total from last campaign, as he only earned one assist in 24 appearances in the previous season. He looks likely to have possibly earned a starting role this campaign, although he probably will share time with Rodrigo De Paul.

Alexander Sorloth - Nets goal in debut Sorloth scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Monday's 2-2 draw against Villarreal.

Impact Sorloth did not take long to make an impact with his new club, as his 45th-minute goal would equalize the game and eventually force a draw in a match they were losing. However, he was quiet throughout the rest of the match, only notching one shot and one tackle. He started the match, playing 45 minutes, and is likely to remain in that role moving forward as he will look to best his 23 goals from last season.

Marcos Llorente - Bags goal in season opener Llorente scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), three crosses (two accurate) and one chance created in Monday's 2-2 draw versus Villarreal.

Impact Llorente saw a decent outing Monday, as he would go on to score in the club's season opener, finding the net in the 20th minute to equalize the game. His hot start is great news for the club, as following his breakout in the 2020/21 season, he has been slightly lackluster with only 13 goal contributions in the past two seasons. However, much of this can be blamed on his versatility, with the midfielder able to play nearly anywhere on the pitch, leaving him in multiple spots to play a more defensive role.

Jan Oblak - Allows two against Villarreal Oblak had two saves and allowed two goals in Monday's 2-2 draw versus Villarreal.

Impact Oblak was far from his best Monday, with the goalie only making two saves while allowing the same amount of goals in the draw. This is slightly underwhelming for a man who is considered one of the better goalies in the world, although he was facing a decent opponent. He will look to secure his first clean sheet of the season when facing Girona on Sunday.

Samuel Omorodion - Out Monday Samu is out for Monday's match against Villarreal due to being in talks with a transfer to Chelsea, according to El Desmarque.

Impact Same will miss out on the club's opener after returning from last season's loan, as he has been involved in talks of a transfer to Chelsea that has stalled at the moment, with the forward yet to register as an Atletico player. That said, this will be a situation to monitor moving forward, as he could be gone before he sees the field this season. However, everything is still up in the air, as there is a chance the deal falls through completely with the transfer window nearing an end.

Thomas Lemar - Out for opener Lemar is out for Monday's match against Villarreal after being left off the squad list, according to El Desmarque.

Impact Lemar will miss the club's season opener Monday, as he did not travel with the club to Villarreal and was left off the squad list. This comes after he missed most of last season due to injury, although this appeared to be more of a tactical move. This is a bit of a surprising move, as he is a player who could see decent time when on the team sheet.
