Villarreal vs Atletico Madrid: Live scores, commentary as Lookman eyes heroics in last La Liga battle

Published on by

Villarreal vs. Atletico Madrid is the very last game of the 2025/26 Spanish La Liga campaign. With nine matches already played across nine different venues on Saturday, this clash serves as the ultimate curtain-closer.

​This game will decide who finishes third in the Spanish top flight. While both sides are currently level on points and goal difference, Atleti need only a draw to secure the position, as they will earn the position by virtue of their superior head-to-head.

Afrik-Foot can confirm that ​Los Rojiblancos have Super Eagles star Ademola Lookman leading the line today, and he earns a well-deserved start in this enthralling encounter.

Since joining Atletico Madrid in January, Lookman has been nothing short of brilliant. He will be looking to spark some magic alongside his attacking partner, Antoine Griezmann, tonight.
