Quotes
"After seeing the effort that the boys have been making in this marathon of games that we are playing and with teammates who cannot help, I feel proud," Atletico manager Diego Simeone said after their win over Sociedad.
"Having a team of footballers who compete like this is something that the fans can feel proud of. We had a first half very good, we were able to increase the score with Axel [Witsel]'s which was very clear and then it was difficult for us to go on the counter.
"They are brave, they tried to play a lot of second ball instead of coming from behind as they usually do. I think we controlled [Takefusa] Kubo very well, also [Mikel] Oyarzabal, their midfielder... From the defensive phase we interpreted where we could hurt them, which was behind their full-backs."
Head-to-Head
Atletico beat Celta 1-0 in their last meeting in La Liga with the match taking place at the Abanca-Balaídos on 12 February 2023.
The Mattress Makers are enjoying a nine-match unbeaten run against the Sky Blues in the league having registered six wins and three draws.
