Quotes
“From one to 10, I thought it was a 10. I have seen a team play 90 minutes with one less player very few times," Atletico manager Diego Simeone said after his side's draw with Celta.
"The team defended well, controlled in the best way the attacks of an opponent who plays, who attacks, and the worst thing that can happen is to be down a player. They had no chances except for the last one by (Borja) Iglesias.
"They scored from a penalty, and it was a penalty. We managed to equalise and we were encouraged to play with what we had left. It’s an obstacle they put in our way, which we overcame and which will make us stronger.”
Head-to-Head
Atletico thrashed Valencia 3-0 in their last meeting in La Liga in a match that took place at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano on 15 September.
Therefore, the Mattress Makers are undefeated in their last two league matches against the Bats having recorded two successive wins.
