La Liga 2018-19: 5 talking points from Match Day 4

3. Atletico Madrid's new signings need more time together:

Atletico Madrid started the season on a strong note defeating their neighbors Real Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup Match. They have also brought in new players- Thomas Lemar, Gelson, Rodri and Nikola Kalinic over the course of the summer to bolster their squad. But the start in La Liga this season has been far from ideal.

A loss to Celta Vigo on matchday 3 saw them slip to the bottom half of the table. They were expected to win against a resurgent Eibar side and had their chances throughout the match but a superb performance from the Eibar goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic saw him saving shots from Antoine Griezmann, Diego Costa and Saul.

An 87th-minute strike from Sergi Enrich saw Eibar leading close to full time, but right on the stroke of full time, 19-year-old Borja Garces equalised for Atleti. While the equalizer would be a reliever for Simeone, the fact which is evident is that the new signings especially Lemar and Rodri need to fit in with Atleti's style of play. Next up for Atletico is a trip to Monaco in the UEFA Champions League.
