Aspas scored the goal for Celta to make it 1-1 but there was no late charge from the home side to get the win.

Simeone would have been pleased with the start but will want his side to exude more confidence if they are to play well and regain the title.

Meanwhile, Elche played out a goalless draw against Athletic Club in their opening match of the season on Tuesday.
Elche narrowly missed out on relegation last season as they finished just 2 points of the dreaded zone.
Hence, they need to perform similarly like last week they want to achieve anything against the champions.
The H2H is lop-sided with Atletico winning 7 of the last 8 matches played between each other with a draw sandwiched between.
Both sides met in the La Liga last season where Atletico Madrid edged the contest 1-0 through Llorente’s first half goal.
