After an impressive transfer window, Atletico Madrid has started the new season with high ambitions, and the revamped Madrid side is already showing the potential to compete for the top spots in La Liga.

Yesterday, Atletico beat Valencia 3-0 at the Metropolitano, marking their fourth consecutive La Liga match without conceding a goal. Prior to this, Diego Simeone's men kept clean sheets against Athletic Bilbao, Espanyol, and Girona.
