The results of the match that were obtained by Atletico Madrid were indeed very good with the use of two of the best baits from Antoine Griezmann so that it actually resulted in goals by Joao Felix in the 56th minute and Alvaro Morata in the 74th minute. And for the next game for Atletico Madrid this season is still at their own ground (Metropolitano) against Barcelona, not at Camp Nou as you say. I just checked the fixtures again for Atletico Madrid.
Griezman has updated himself to be a play maker and it is natural when he is getting older. Morata and Felix can play as a striker and forward for Atletico Madrid whilst Griezman is playing like a bridge to connect midfield and attacking areas. He shown that he is perfect for this position with France in World Cup 2022. It's so surprising for me to see Griezman can run a lot of kilometers each match and contribute a lot to defense for his teams too.
That match is so hot with 3 red cards, 2 for Elche and 1 for Atletico Madrid. With 3 points, Atletico will have chance to reduce gaps with above clubs.
Take a look on Neymar in PSG and everything will look normal with yellow card followed by a red one
Neymar case is not too weird. In some cases, players were substituted and a few minutes on field, they were sent out by a direct red card or by 2 yellow cards. Even they did not drop too much sweats before have to take a bath too early before their team-mates.
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.
They played well and their system worked too smooth but they must increase their accuracy to score more goals. Elche are weak but with stronger teams, Atletico Madrid won't have too many opportunities so rate of conversion from expected goals is important.
