Atletico Madrid are title contenders
Ad
Diego Simeone continues to play down his team’s chances of competing with Barcelona and Real Madrid off the pitch, but his players continue to play up their chances of getting involved in a title race on the pitch.
On Sunday night they beat Real Betis 5-0; it could have been 10 though.
David Villa found his shooting boots after a baron-spell, while Diego Costa eventually scored after squandering numerous chances.

Ad
And not because he’s a prodigious young talent, which he is, but because it came after just 13 seconds, making him the fastest ever goal scorer in Atletico Madrid’s history.
