Pablo Barrios Double Inspires Atletico Madrid to 3-1 Club World Cup Win Over Seattle Sounders

Posted : 20 June 2025

Atletico Madrid revived their FIFA Club World Cup campaign with a 3-1 win over Seattle Sounders on Thursday, thanks to a superb brace from 22-year-old midfielder Pablo Barrios. The victory came as a strong response to their disappointing 4-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the opening match, with Axel Witsel also finding the net at Seattle’s Lumen Field.

 

The result brought Atletico level on points in Group B with PSG and Brazil’s Botafogo, who were set to play later that evening.

 

Barrios opened the scoring in the 11th minute with a powerful strike off the underside of the crossbar following a well-worked assist by Giuliano Simeone. He completed his brace in the 55th minute, capitalizing on a failed clearance from a long throw to fire a half-volley past goalkeeper Stefan Frei.

 

Between his two goals, Atletico and Seattle exchanged quickfire goals early in the second half — Witsel scored from close range in the 47th minute, only for Albert Rusnak to respond three minutes later for the hosts.

 

Despite Seattle's spirited effort and home support, the loss leaves them on the verge of elimination. Atletico had an early penalty decision overturned by VAR before taking full control of the match. Barrios’ clinical finishing and Atletico’s improved composure now position them strongly for advancement in the tournament, keeping their hopes alive as Group B intensifies.
