Trippier really cramping. Imagine it's come to a shock to him that end to end fast paced games happen in La Liga aswell.

Great result for Atleti after conceding twice early.

Nice one two off the defender by Partey for the winner.

Costa is a finishing animal, just needs stay onside.

Good see Trippier in La Liga.

Hopefully good title race this year.

Ridiculous Lucas didn't get a yellow, obvious cynical foul.

Master stroke from Simeone to bring Thomas on. 3-2.
He introduced Vitolo at HT and 7 mins later scored the equalizer. Subbed on Riquelme (youth product) and he could've scored 2 mins later but fluffed a very good chance from 7-8 yards out.

Fantastic management today.

Real Madrid really looking like an old team already this season. Look at the pace of Villareal in final third.

Reminds me of that 2008 side they had, Raul, Van Nistelrooy and Cannavaro all into their 30s that year. Nowhere in the league and remember Liverpool demolished them in last 16 of CL.

I said Atletico would do it this season and I stand by that.

Thanks! Good to hear! I felt Atletico was the right club for him to take his next step so happy he his doing well. Portugal will need it once the GOAT retires.

Villareal playing between the lines wonderfully. Love watching them full of confidence.

What is Real Madrid's formation - 4-4-2 or 4-3-3?
4-4-2, but they're not finding the wings with Bale and Lucas Vazquez, it's like watching a team outdated by 20 years.

They have the quality to put some crosses from non-deep positions, but the gameplan is poor.

Only watched the game in parts but I think this Joao Felix hype is going a bit too far. Apart from a very simple tap-in he didn’t do much. According to WhoScored he touched the ball a total of 26 times, had 9 completed passes and 0 dribbles. He has shown touches of brilliance in Atleti’s first two games but hold your horses a little bit.

Atletico with a 5 point gap to Barcelona already, finally they started the season without immediately dropping a bunch of points.

It's obvious they'll have to get a lot better if they want to compete for the title nevermind win it.

Mendy hurt now, come oooon

Looks a good defender so far. Really good. Not doing much going forward, but then we've been poor in general

And now nearly gifts them a goal with an insane pass, we somehow work it out and it ends with Lucas missing a semi-open net

Such a good cross from Bale, should have been a goal.

Carvajal is trying to do what Marcelo used to do on the other wing, and he's doing it good.
