The Mattress Makers are also undefeated in their last two home matches in La Liga having registered two consecutive wins. 
 
"The team has grown as a whole and from then on the individuals are giving a very good level," Atletico manager Diego Simeone said after their win over Vallecano. 
 
"Renan Lodi, Reinildo Mandava, Stefan Savic, Jose Giménez, Marcos Llorente, Hector Herrera, Geoffrey Kondogbia, the return of Koke, Rodrigo De Paul's game has improved, the work of Antoine Griezmann and Joao Felix.
 
"The anger of not being able to count on Correa due to the injury... The best thing is to accept that the team is strong when it works together."
