Jimenez Juanmi - Takes two shots off bench in loss Juanmi had two shots (one on target) after coming off the bench during Sunday's 1-0 loss against Atletico Madrid.

Impact Juanmi was brought in the 69th minute to replace Ayoze Perez and could still lead his side in shots attempted but the impact he made wasn't strong enough to give his side some momentum into the game. After scoring his two goals of the season during a three-game stretch back in February, Juanmi couldn't keep it up and ended up losing his starting spot again and, since Ayoze Perez's arrival on loan, playing time have been scarce for him, so the winger will hope this performance can help him earn some more significant playing time moving forward.

Rui Silva - Makes six saves against Atletico Silva made one save and conceded one goal during Sunday's 1-0 loss against Atletico Madrid.

Impact Silva had a strong performance here, making some nice saves and being on the verge of keeping back-to-back clean sheets. But then, in the 86th minute, came Angel Correa to ruin his plans, making a great individual effort before sending the ball past the goalkeeper to score the lone goal of the match. Despite the late setback, Silva can still be considered having a great run of form, with 13 saves and just three goals allowed over the last four starts. Up next for him is Sunday's home clash against Cadiz.
