The start of the Liga season of Atlético de Madrid is definitely very complicated. After a terrible defeat last week against Espanyol 2-1 after conceded two goals in the last quarter of an hour, the Madrilenians played at home, in Metropolitano, against Elche, freshly promoted to second division. Despite the opening of the scoring at the start of the match of Alexander Sørloth, 1-0 in the 8th minute, the men of Diego Simeone were equalized seven minutes later through Rafa Mir, 1-1 in the 15th minute.
Despite the absence of the summer recruit, Baena, Diego Simeone did not start the top scorer of the club, Antoine Griezmann, who finally entered the 68th minute. Despite its 12 shots, including 6 on top, the Colchoneros failed to take advantage in the second period. Atlético de Madrid is far in the standings with its small point: 13th temporarily behind Valence or Real Sociedad. It will take much better on August 30, not to start the season in the midst of a crisis.
