Atletico Madrid dissappointed with their opening match 1-1 draw against newly-promoted Alaves. Manu Garcia Sanchez equalizer deep into extra time answered Kevin Gameiro's controversial penalty.
Atletico Madrid were struggling in their entire match to make clear cut chances and certainly missing their star forward Anoine Griezmann, which ended with a two valuable points drop, though its early but still they should have taken all three against newly-promoted Alaves or that will hurt them badly at the end.
Atletico dominated the ball but was unable to convert chances and the new boys Gameiro and Gaitan struggling to get going in their first match.
