**Prague, Czech Republic** – Atletico Madrid cruised to a dominant 6-0 victory over Sparta Prague in their Champions League clash on Tuesday. Julian Alvarez scored twice, while Angel Correa added a late brace to secure a comfortable win for Diego Simeone’s side. The victory moves Atletico to nine points from five games, solidifying their position in the competition.

Alvarez opened the scoring with a stunning free-kick, followed by Marcos Llorente’s clever chip over the Sparta goalkeeper. Alvarez then added his second goal after a neat exchange with Giuliano Simeone. Substitute Antoine Griezmann extended the lead to 4-0 before Correa’s late double sealed the emphatic win.

Simeone praised his team’s high intensity and speed, highlighting the contributions of both starters and substitutes. He emphasized the importance of scoring goals, particularly in the Champions League’s new format. Despite making six changes from their weekend La Liga match, Atletico completely controlled the game, leaving Sparta with only one weak shot on goal throughout the match. Sparta’s goalkeeper, Peter Vindahl, made several crucial saves to prevent an even larger defeat.

Atletico’s victory marks their second consecutive away win in the Champions League, following their 2-1 upset of Paris Saint-Germain earlier this month. They will next face Slovan Bratislava at home on December 10.
