The first team trained at Majadahonda’s Sports City during Sunday morning after the League victory against Elche. The work was performed by two groups divided into starters and substitutes.

The Atlético defender was very satisfied of the job he did for all his teammates.

In the Champions League match against Olympiacos, he already equalled the record held by Adelardo as the Atlético player who had played the most European matches, with a total of 66.

Atlético’s coach was happy after the win garnered at the Martínez Valero.

Giménez, at the beginning of the first half, and Mandžukić, at the start of the second, sentenced Elche, signing a new victory.

Diego Pablo Simeone said his team is ready for a difficult match such as the one they expect in Elche.

Miranda and Ansaldi are the absences due to injury for this match for which Simeone has called Lucas, who joins the 19 available players to travel to Elche.

Medical tests have revealed that the winger suffers a grade II sprain to the internal lateral ligament of his left knee.

Lucas was radiant in his debut and Jesús Gámez stressed the hunger of a team that wants to "win every match."

Atlético’s coach analysed the red and white victory against Hospitalet (0-3) in the King's Cup.
