Hanging 1-1 by the Celta of Vigo this Sunday, Atlético de Madrid has still disappointed. Only fifths from Liga, the Colchoneros are already at six points from FC Barcelona and eight Real Madrid units. A start to the season far from being excellent especially since the last match against the Galicians brought its share of tension. Atlético de Madrid notably finished ten after the exclusion of Clément Lenglet.
After the meeting, Diego Simeone notably launched “you are a dirty kid” to the referee César Soto Grado. The players have also railed like Koke: “If the referee decided like that, it was an expulsion. It looks like he didn't do much, but that's what he thought. He could have shown another yellow card to the opponent, but he did not do it.»»
