In today's match against Celta Vigo, Atletico Madrid earned 3 points which moved them to the second position of the points table.
Real Madrid is number one in the points table after playing 10 matches and Atletico Madrid is in the second position of the points table after playing nine matches.
If Atletico Madrid can get 3 points in the next match, then Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid will have 23 points, but considering the goals, Atletico Madrid will move to number one in the points table.
Adding another win to their winning streak was important and also the continuation of a great response to the 0-3 loss they had against Valencia out of nowhere. It was also a game with a clean sheet, which makes Simeone always happy and is one of the core principles of their game. But without expressing any disrespect for their win against Celta Vigo at this point, I think a game should always be put into perspective when the opponent receives a red card after 25 minutes and is playing against one of the best teams in La Liga. That is why I am sure they thankfully take the result and the points home, but everyone in the Atletico team knows that the red card had a big effect and weakened Celta Vigo significantly.
