00:00The Champions League
00:06Reading Madrid will be attacking the goal away to our left.
00:12They're in good form at the moment.
00:14They've lost just one of their La Liga games so far this season.
00:24Barcelona currently leading the way in the Primera division in Spain.
00:29A good early title race building up there.
00:32As Sparta Prague make immediate inroads.
00:47Simeone doing the defending.
00:53Llorente having his pocket picked.
00:55Possibilities here for Sparta Prague.
00:58Gathered at the second attempt by Oblak.
01:01But it was poor defending by Marcus Llorente.
01:04Dithered in possession.
01:06And Oblak having to make the save.
01:08They don't want to be losing possession here, Sparta Prague.
01:11But they have.
01:12Good press from Gallagher.
01:15This is Rodrigo to Paul.
01:17The header flashes wide.
01:20Chance.
01:21And Simeone found himself in a good position there.
01:25The 21-year-old.
01:27There's a lovely ball fed in by Rodrigo to Paul.
01:30Probably should be hitting the target.
01:32Pick up.
01:33Only the opposition will be for these two.
01:37At a moment as Alvarez draws the free kick in a very good position.
01:42Always direct.
01:45Always positive.
01:46Always asking questions of defenders.
01:48Alvarez.
01:52This might be a test for Petr Vindal.
01:55Looks as though it's going to be.
01:56Yes.
01:57Alvarez.
01:59Goalkeeper didn't move.
02:03We've seen it before from Julio Alvarez.
02:07And it's glorious.
02:12Well, I'm not sure the wall does enough there.
02:14Nobody jumping really.
02:18That's the side of the goal that the wall.
02:21Well, they do jump a little but.
02:23Let's take nothing away from the quality of the strike.
02:26He backed himself there, Alvarez.
02:30And the goalkeeper rooted virtually to the spot there.
02:38Quality.
02:39From the Art of Time International.
02:46Llorente.
02:50Second bite at it for Marcos Llorente.
02:52This is Alvarez.
02:55Rodrigo de Paul.
02:57Beaten away by goalkeeper.
02:59Vindal.
03:01Worked that situation really well.
03:02Atletico Madrid.
03:03Those midfield players for Atletico Madrid really enjoying themselves so far this evening.
03:13The furthest Rodrigo de Paul has been in the match.
03:16Stinging the right hand there of Vindal.
03:18Oh, Vindal.
03:19Oh, Vindal.
03:21Oh, Vindal.
03:22Vindal.
03:23It's a really sloppy pass.
03:24Pinched by Julio Alvarez.
03:26Big chance here.
03:27Solov.
03:30Great save in the end by Vindal to deny Alexander Solov.
03:35But Sparta Prague, the architects of their own downfall there, gave the ball away really cheaply.
03:40Just been mentioning how they have to protect possession better.
03:45It's a horrible pass.
03:47And this is a top save from Vindal.
03:53Helped in by Llorente.
03:54It's gone all the way in.
03:57Goalkeeper couldn't read it.
03:59Alexander Solov making the run across the goalkeeper's eye line.
04:03It'll be a goal for Marcus Llorente.
04:05And it's nothing more than that Atletico Madrid deserve.
04:08They've absolutely dominated this first half.
04:11Space.
04:22Lots of it.
04:23They're empty in midfield here.
04:24Sparta Prague.
04:26Options left and right.
04:27Option right, Simeone.
04:29Lovely return pass.
04:31Easy as you like.
04:33Second goal on the night for Julio Alvarez.
04:36But where, oh where, was that Sparta Prague midfield?
04:44Every single one of them absent.
04:51Less than an hour gone here in Czechia.
04:54It's game over.
04:55Look at the room for Alvarez.
04:59I mean, it's just not acceptable at this level.
05:01It really isn't.
05:02It's really well crafted.
05:07Fine finish.
05:09Llorente.
05:10Simeone to his right.
05:12Llorente ignores him.
05:14And it's four.
05:16Antoine Griezmann helps himself.
05:20And they just don't have any answers.
05:22Sparta Prague at the back.
05:24Just picking their passes.
05:25The movement is really good.
05:27And they just can't cover in any area around the pitch.
05:30Not just in terms of this kind of area.
05:33But anywhere you look tonight.
05:35And just being able to get their head up.
05:37The Atletico Madrid man in possession.
05:40Pick the pass.
05:41As Llorente does here for Griezmann.
05:43One touch out of his feet.
05:44Right foot.
05:45Beyond a diving.
05:47Petr Vindal.
05:48Sparta Prague 0.
05:49Atletico Madrid 4.
05:51Four against three momentarily.
05:55Lino to tap in.
05:57Can't miss from there.
05:59Angel Correa.
06:01And Atletico Madrid hit five.
06:04Two substitutes linking Lino and Correa.
06:08Look away now.
06:09If your allegiance lies with Sparta Prague.
06:15Atletico Madrid have played right through the home side once more.
06:26Looking for a sixth here.
06:27Correa could be in.
06:29Angel Correa.
06:30There it is six.
06:34Well how did he manage to work the space there.
06:38Two goals off the substitutes bench.
06:41For the Argentine Angel Correa.
06:44And Atletico Madrid have hit Sparta Prague for six.
06:47Heads been shaken all around the Lechner Stadium.
06:54He really ought to have repelled this latest Atletico Madrid attack.
07:00And he bundles his way through in the end Correa.
07:03Challenges are weak.
07:05And once more Petr Vindal in the home goal.
07:10Left exposed.
07:14Full time whistle.
07:15Almost upon us.
07:18Last attack of the game.
07:21Danny Macaely brings it to a finish.
07:24Sparta Prague nil.
07:25Atletico Madrid six.
07:27Match day five.
07:32Ruthless performance here.
07:34From Diego Simeone's team.
07:39Sparta Prague players.
07:41Well they.
07:42They and their coach.
07:45Looking.
07:47Bemused.
07:51Almost as if to say what's hit us tonight.
07:54Showed too much respect I thought in the first half.
07:58Couldn't get near Atletico Madrid in the second.
08:00Spanish side went for the jugular.
08:04And then some.
08:06Full time score at the Lechner Stadium.
