The transfer window is shut, La Liga is up and running and everything is looking pretty rosy for Atletico Madrid as we (already) head into the first international week of the season.
Things will ramp up quickly when returning to action after the upcoming Euro 2016 qualifiers. Atleti face a home Liga match against reigning champions Barcelona and then kick straight on with their opening UEFA Champions League group stage match, away to Galatasaray.
Atleti confirmed their Champions League squad on Wednesday, and the team will surely be looking at the European competition as one they can again go far in this term, being one of the main sides who should target another semi-final appearance—at which point anything can happen.
