#5 Atletico Madrid win a five-goal thriller against Celta Vigo

The 2013-14 winners of La Liga have been having a poor season this time round with the title well out of their reach already. With 42 points from 22 games, they are only a point ahead of Real Sociedad who are their biggest rivals for the fourth Champions League spot this season.

Atletico’s game against Celta Vigo was vital and Gustavo Cabral’s header was the worst start that Atletico could’ve imagined. However, Torres’ stunner gave the Madrid outfit some hope.

However, with John Guidetti finding the back of the net in the 78th minute, it left Simeone’s men with a lot to do to even edge a point out of the game. That's when Yannick Carrasco stepped up to equalise in the 86th minute.

And just two minutes later, Atletico’s hero as always – Antoine Griezmann scored the winner to give Atletico a vital 3-2 victory over Celta Vigo.
