Villarreal’s record at Atlético, two recent wins but latest meeting ended 2-0 | OneFootball

Villarreal have held their own on recent trips to Atlético, taking two wins and four draws from their last 10 visits since 2017. The most recent meeting finished 2-0 to the hosts.

El Periódico Mediterráneo notes the broader context. Across 24 top-flight visits to Atlético, Villarreal have five wins, seven draws and 12 defeats.

In 2016/17 at the Vicente Calderón, Bruno Soriano struck the only goal in a 1-0 win. The next away victory arrived in 2022/23, a 2-0 success through Yeremy Pino and Gerard Moreno.

Within those 10 most recent trips there have been four draws and four defeats. None of the losses were by a single goal, two ended 2-0 and two 3-1.

The latest visit was on 13 September 2025 and ended 2-0. Pablo Barrios scored on nine minutes, then Nico González added a second early in the second half, when Marcelino García’s Villarreal were enjoying their best spell. It was Atlético’s first win of that campaign.

Heading back to the Metropolitano, Iñigo Pérez could keep nine of that XI, although Sergi Cardona has been managed carefully. As a head coach, Pérez lost both of his Metropolitano visits with Rayo Vallecano after taking over in February 2024.
