Diego Pablo Simeone designed a training session without those who started against Sevilla. Although Courtois did work with the group throughout the session. The academy players were the highlight of the session with 10 players from Atletico B and Athletic C, plus Manquillo, Saul and Óliver.

Saul Ñíguez had worn the Atletico first team shirt in the Europa League and Copa. Against Sevilla he did it in the Spanish top flight.

Adrian Lopez replaced Diego Costa in the 67th minute and his cross lead to Falcao's goal eight minutes later. The Spaniard was happy for the important win in Seville.

The rock at the back alongside Miranda, Godin and his companions kept another clean sheet. The first steps to get a win that felt complicated but was an important result.

The leader of the red and whites was praising his team and ensure that the target is close but not closed. There’s still more work.

Atletico Madrid have conceded the fewest goals in the league with 25 goals and much of that is down to goalkeeper Courtois. The Belgian has gone five away games without conceding a goal: Valladolid, Malaga, Osasuna, Getafe and Sevilla.
