The Colchonero drew 1-1 as a visitor against the team led by Eduardo Coudet. Cholo's team did not win in their three appearances. Coudet's team had ex-Colón Facundo Garcés and ex-Talleres Nahuel Tenaglia from the start.

Giuliano Simeone scored the goal for Atlético de Madrid for the 1-1 draw as a visitor against Alavés, in a match corresponding to the third date of La Liga in Spain. The team led by Cholo continues without a win in the season, with two draws and a defeat, just like Thiago Almada and Julián Álvarez, while Juan Musso and Nahuel Molina were on the substitutes' bench. The goal came at 7', after several rebounds and with the home team's protest for an alleged offside position. Alavés reached the tie through a penalty executed by Carlos Robles, at 14' also of the initial stage. Chacho's team has 4 points.

Today at the Mendizorroza Stadium, there was no improvement in Atleti, about what Diego Simeone intended, who had previously complained about the few dangerous situations generated by Julián Álvarez, who does not receive the ball clearly. Today, the forward of the Argentina National Team suffered the strong mark of Facundo Garcés and ended up being replaced, something that also resulted in criticism of the coach. The Italian Giácomo Raspadori replaced him with 3' plus added time left for the end.

The penalty for Alavés came after Alexander Sørloth committed a childish foul within the area. As the minutes passed, the result did not change and Cholo's team was heavily criticized by the fans, who were very angry.

Just as they complained that Álvarez is one of the substituted players, they also showed their discontent with the continuity of Sørloth. They even asked for the Norwegian to leave the institution. Through social networks, different users of X (former Twitter) made comments ranting against the 29-year-old attacker with a past in Villarreal.
