Atletico Madrid: Early Season Frustrations
Atletico Madrid were once again held to a draw, which has raised questions about their efficiency in attack. Manager Diego Simeone admitted his side must be more clinical when facing defensive teams. Although they dominated possession, the lack of goals means they have fallen behind their rivals early in the campaign.

The Spanish Players Association criticized the league for not involving players in the decision, calling the move disrespectful.
