This Saturday, Atlético de Madrid traveled to the field of Celta de Vigo in poor shape and ranked 18th at the start of the season. In the event of a victory, the Colchoneros had the opportunity to climb to second place. And this victory in Galicia will have been complicated to achieve for Diego Simeone’s flock despite a great Antoine Griezmann.

The metronome of the France team opened the scoring from the penalty spot while the opposing goalkeeper, Ivan Villar, was sent off for a foul on Alvaro Morata (1-0, 29th). Returning from the locker room, the native of Mâcon scored two additional goals (64th, 70th) to complete the success of the Matelassiers. Jostled for 60 minutes, the Madrilenians went for a suitable success which allowed them to come back to within three points of Real Madrid with a match in hand. Celta remains 18th.
