- Denis Cheryshev is justifying his price tag after arriving in the winter transfer window from Real Madrid. His two goals in the five games which he has played have given his team six points.
Atletico Madrid (2nd, 61 pts):
- After winning the derby against Real Madrid and beating Real Sociedad 3-0 at the Vicente Calderon, the Rojiblancos are looking to round off the perfect week against Valencia at Mestalla. The last match between the two sides saw the capital club come out 2-1 victors.
- Antoine Griezmann is the man of the moment at Atletico Madrid. He scored the winning goal at the Santiago Bernabeu and was also on cue against his former La Real teammates. He has transformed himself into Diego Simeone’s greatest attacking threat and is now Atletico’s top scorer on 14 goals.
