Many see De Paul as a replacement for Saul Niguez, who could be on his way out of the Wanda Metropolitano before the end of the summer transfer window in just over two weeks.
50'
For all that Atletico Madrid impressed last season, there was a sense that Simeone hadn’t quite found the right balance in the centre of the pitch. De Paul could help with that!
49'
De Paul is the most notable signing Atletico Madrid have made since the end of last season with the Argentine midfielder joining the Spanish club from Udinese. He could be a big player for them.
48'
Trippier is one player who has been linked with a move away from Atletico Madrid amid interest from Manchester United, but the England international is still in Spain.

What will the second half at Balaidos offer us? Celta Vigo responded reasonably well to going behind in the first half, but Coudet will want his team to create more in front of goal.

To Celta Vigo's credit, they haven't faded after going behind. In the first half of last season, they surely would have wilted, but that hasn't happened so far this afternoon.

That was a waste! The ball was played in behind for Carrasco, he had options in the middle, he could have taken on the shot himself, but his ball is a bad one and Celta clear.

Atletico Madrid are looking to put their foot on the ball at the end of this first half to prevent any sort of surge from Celta Vigo before the half time whistle comes.
40'
Will we see Suarez at some point in the second half? The striker has watched this first half from the bench. He was given a longer break over the summer by Simeone.

This has the potential to be one of the best matches in La Liga this weekend. Celta Vigo were known for being one of the most exciting teams in Spain in the final stretch of last season. Hasn’t caught light yet...
37'
Chance for Aspas! That was the first time Aspas has given Atletico Madrid a problem, but his toe-poke shot is saved by Oblak who was never going to be beaten by that effort.

The omens are good for Atletico Madrid this afternoon - they have stayed undefeated in 10 of the last 11 matches they have played against Celta Vigo in all competitions.

COOLING BREAK! It's a very warm afternoon in Galicia and we are now going to have a cooling break to allow the players to take on some much-needed water.
