Scores winner off bench

Baena scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 1-0 win versus Espanyol. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 68th minute.

Analysis: Baena started on the bench against Espanyol after his midweek start against Manchester United, but he needed only 28 minutes to decide the game when he struck the winner late on. That goal capped a lively cameo in which he created two chances and recorded his only shot, and it was the second straight league match in which he came off the bench to settle things, after his cross set up Cristian Romero for the winner at Alaves. It reflects how far he has come since a troubled first season at the club, as he is now playing with real confidence and has two goals and two assists across his last five games, a run that underlines his growing importance to Atletico.

Assists with strong volume

Alex Baena assisted once to go with three shots (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Tuesday's 2-0 victory against Manchester United.

Analysis: Baena did everything that was asked of him and was able to add an assist during Tuesday's win. This match was well controlled throughout, so Baena didn't get the chances to bomb forward as he so often does, but he still did well throughout. He also kept a strong floor with a split of set-pieces.
