ATM managed to get 3 points and that's the important point. The number of red cards in that game was more than the goals scored BTW.
For me, Bilbao and Betis was more challenging and the draw in that match made ATM jump to the 3rd place alone.
I think Atletico Madrid doesn't really care about the red cards. The most important thing is to get 3 points and they finally turn back to the top 3 in La Liga standings. 3rd place is where they should be, it is shame to see them not in UCL zone. Although their position isn't secure, they finally come back to a proper position at least. I assume it will improve the mentality or motivation of Atletico Madrid players. Now, they can be optimistic to set a target to finish in UCL zone this season.For me, Bilbao and Betis was more challenging and the draw in that match made ATM jump to the 3rd place alone.
Despite the fact that Atlético Madrid won by two goals against Elche, I still think that it was a fascinating football match. A total of 34 fouls were committed during this game, which resulted in three red cards from the referee as a result. As Atlético Madrid sits third in the league behind Barcelona and Real Madrid, it is likely that we will see a thrilling end-of-league battle between the three teams.
