Quotes
"It is an important win, it was needed," Atletico manager Diego Simeone said after his side's victory over Celta.
"Between the international break, the games against Leganes, Barcelona and Qarabag [in the Champions League], it was a long wait for a win. But that is why we worked like this today. The team showed once again that it can suffer, and that they do not mind sitting back to defend a result.
"We also had chances ourselves -- like when [Celta goalkeeper] Sergio saved from [Antoine] Griezmann. Celta are strong at home, and had scored in all their other games."
Head-to-Head
Getafe and Atletico played to a 3-3 draw in their last meeting in La Liga and the game took place at the Estádio Cívitas Metropolitano on 19 December 2023.
Therefore, the Mattress Makers are undefeated in their 22 league games against Azulones having recorded 18 wins and four draws.
