Villarreal Thrash Atlético 5-1 in Griezmann’s Farewell as Lookman Faces Heavy Defeat

Villarreal closed out the 2025/26 LaLiga season with a 5-1 demolition of Atlético Madrid in Antoine Griezmann’s final appearance for the club. Dani Parejo converted a penalty on his last game before exiting, and Ayoze Pérez struck twice in a dominant first-half display. Georges Mikautadze added a third before Marc Pubill pulled one back for Atlético from a Griezmann assist. Pape Gueye and Pérez completed the rout after the break, ensuring Villarreal clinched a coveted top-three finish for the first time since 2007/08. Atlético manager Diego Simeone must now regroup after another disappointing campaign, while Villarreal celebrate their return to Europe’s elite spots.
