Primera Liga

Atletico Madrid’s good form in the Champions League continued after a 2-1 win over Rostov, but manager Diego Simeone was not completely happy after the game.

Atletico, though, came up with a valiant effort in the second half which ultimately gave them the deserved goal right at the end of the match.
