The Champions al Wanda Metropolitano, but the truth is that the debut of Atlético de Madrid in this edition of the continental tournament left some dark and worrying sensations.

It is true that the rojiblancos did not lose, but they also did not give the feeling of having deserved a victory in a clear way. This zero tie against Port when you find yourself immersed in the same group as Liverpool Y Milan, it's worrisome.

But beyond the result, there are many aspects that could concern the mattress parish today.

The front does not shine

Luis Suarez keeps his ‘jinx’ with the elastic of the Athletes in the European cup. The Uruguayan returned to finish a European match without scoring, something that has happened in each and every one of the games he has played with the rojiblancos in Europe.

However, much more complex and difficult to assimilate is the situation of Correa, that easily sees door in League but that in the continental tournament it is still not correct. Since he will score in front of Benfica in the campaign 2015/2016, has no longer pierced the rival goal, and they go 44 consecutive matches. Amazing!

Then there is the case of Joao Felix, that yesterday he returned to the starting eleven and that he went unnoticed again. The luso continues playing without pain or glory, and patience with him may run out sooner rather than later. Time passes and that promise that seemed to be, is becoming, for the moment, in disappointment.

Griezmann out of place

He returned eagerly to Athletic, but after two games he still does not leave a trace of that player who was years ago. Griezmann yesterday he did not play at the beginning, but his later contribution was not significant, like what happened in the previous league match against Spanish.

The French footballer needs to keep working to fit in perfectly with this team, something that has to arrive as soon as possible.

This season has already played 9 matches between friendly and officials, including the 7 with the t-shirt of Barça, and has not managed to score in any of them.
