Good afternoon and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the La Liga fixture between Celta Vigo and Atletico Madrid. We'll bring you all the action as it happens at Balaidos. Kick off is at 16:30 BST.

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.

Coudet had a fully fit squad to pick from for this match. Celta Vigo have a talented squad and after a challenging couple seasons there is a sense that they are starting to build again.

What a goal this was!

Atletico Madrid are now sitting back and inviting the Celta Vigo possession on top of themselves. They have the advantage and Simeone wants his side to protect it.

Simeone will surely be rather pleased with what he has seen from his team in this first half so far. There has been a response from Celta Vigo, but Atletico Madrid are in control.

While Atletico Madrid start the season as La Liga champions, they have struggled through pre-season to get to this point. Will Simeone’s side be able to flick the switch on today? So far, so good!

That was an unstoppable finish from Correa. There isn't a goalkeeper in the game who would have been able to get a glove to that shot, never mind keep it out of the net!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Celta Vigo 0 Atletico Madrid 1 (23 mins - Angel Correa). The champions have taken the lead and what an incredible strike that is! Lemar did well to dribble through the midfield, he cut inside and played the pass to Correa and he lashed a strike into the top corner of the Celta Vigo net!

There is a real air of optimism around Celta Vigo heading into the 2021/22 season. Coudet turned the club around last season. Could Celta be in the mix for the European places?

Some nice play from Atletico Madrid on the edge of the box involving Llorente, but Fontan gets back to make the clearance and prevent the champions from getting a shot away.

PICTURE: Good contest so far at Balaidos!

It's a very strong bench for Atletico Madrid this afternoon. They have Suarez and Trippier on there. Will we see them later in this match as Simeone tries to get them up to speed?

While Barcelona and Real Madrid have lost key figures over the summer, Atletico Madrid have managed to keep their group together and have added to the squad with some signings.

There is a sense that after a bright start by Celta Vigo in front of their own fans, Atletico Madrid are starting to control more of the match. They are the favourites to win this, of course.

And now Lemar is shown a yellow card for digging his studs into Aspas, which wasn't as bad as it sounds.

You surely wouldn’t bet against Atletico Madrid finishing top of the pile in La Liga once again given how weak Barcelona and Real Madrid look this season after difficult summer windows.

There's the first booking of the day and the yellow is shown to Saul for a foul on Brais.
