Atletico have started the new season strongly and will surely be looking to retain the title this season. Atletico Madrid has also managed to bring Antoine Griezmann back at the club from FC Barcelona on a season long loan with an option to buy.

With the French international coming back to club it will be a exciting to see the front line of Griezmann, Luis Suarez and Joao Felix.

Atletico narrowly won their season opener 2-1 against Celta Vigo away from home and edged past Elche with a 1-0 victory. However in their last game against Villarreal before the international break Simeone’s men were saved by Aissa Mandi’s own goal in the 95th minute and were lucky to come away with a point in a 2-2 against a stubborn Villarreal side, with Luis Suarez scoring the other goal for Atletico.
