Atletico Madrid managed to secure a commendable 1-1 draw against Celta Vigo in LaLiga, showcasing remarkable resilience after suffering a red card early in the match. Coach Diego Simeone praised his team's performance, awarding them a perfect score of 10 for their efforts. Despite being one man short for almost the entire match, Atleti held Celta to just one penalty goal before Alexander Sorloth equalized late in the game. The result leaves Atletico just one point behind league leaders Real Madrid, who faced a similar outcome against Osasuna.
If I had to grade it from one to 10, I clearly have to give my players a 10. To play almost 90 minutes with one man down is something I've seen very few times.
The boys are in a good moment and what I saw out there after the red card, we were gladiators... Ninety minutes with one down, you know? It's very, very tough.
