The Major League Soccer All-Star Game is next up for Atlético Madrid, as they will take the field in Orlando against the American league’s top talent.

Three Atlético players — Koke, João Félix and Héctor Herrera — participated in a skills competition Monday night against hometown side Orlando City and a third team made up of Wayne Rooney, Carlos Vela and Jonathan dos Santos. Now, Diego Simeone will roll out his full team against a cadre of MLS’ finest, including the aforementioned trio, Zlatan Ibrahimović, Josef Martinez, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Nani.

Atleti generated headlines o’plenty after the sensational 7-3 win over Real Madrid last week, and they’ll look to wrap up their United States swing with a win over the MLS All-Stars. This fixture has proven tricky for European sides in recent years — the MLS players won this match outright in 2012 (over Chelsea), 2014 (Bayern Munich) and 2015 (Tottenham Hotspur). In addition, the hosts took Real Madrid and Juventus to penalties the past two seasons.

Atletico Madrid went full throttle Wednesday night to win 3-0 in Major League Soccer's annual summertime event, as the La Liga club persevered in the 2019 MLS All-Star Game presented by Target past the MLS All-Stars at a rain-soaked Exploria Stadium, the home of Orlando City.

Atletico’s quality produced a breakthrough in the 43rd minute, after Rodrigo Riquelme pulled off a beautiful backheel that pulled the All-Star defense apart. His pass found Marcos Llorente, who finished underneath Philadelphia Union goalkeeper Andre Blake.

Boosted by wholesale substitutes in the 56th minute, Atletico then made it 2-0 in the 85th minute via a knuckling shot from Portuguese teenage sensation Joao Felix. His effort bent every which way past Real Salt Lake goalkeeper Nick Rimando, who’s in his 20th and final MLS season.

Diego Simeone’s team added their third and final goal in the third minute of second-half stoppage time, as Diego Costa collected a Felix long ball over the top. The Spanish striker calmly finished past Rimando.

While the MLS All-Stars were outshot 19-10, several quality chances arose from high-profile stars around the league.

The team’s best first-half opportunity arose from D.C. United star Wayne Rooney in the 26th minute, as his long-range shot fizzed over the crossbar. Then LAFC midfielder Mark-Anthony Kaye deftly slipped Nico Lodeiro behind the Atleti backline in the 55th minute, but the Seattle Sounders midfielder was denied by Antonio Adan from close range.

Before Felix’s insurance strike, the MLS All-Stars could have made it 1-1 if Atlanta United midfielder Pity Martinez had his finishing boots in the 78th minute. The Argentine blasted an open chance over from 16 yards after being set up from a driving run by LA Galaxy midfielder Jonathan dos Santos.
