Diego Simeone was delighted with Atletico Madrid's victory at Elche.

The Argentine coach celebrated wildly as he returned to the dressing room, with his side having continued their perfect start to the LaLiga Santander campaign.

Players from Atletico featured at Euro 2020, the Copa America and the Olympic Games this summer, but Simeone's side have still managed to pick up maximum points from their opening two fixtures.

"The preparation for all of the coaches hasn't been easy, and it has been even less easy for us, we had the most players playing for their national teams, with many in South America," Simeone said at full time.

"No one cares, but the rhythm of play varies, you have to make up for it week-by-week, bringing everyone in."
