Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid don't care about their image, or about what people might say about them, nor are they worried about being entertainers, and they showed that by taking on a Third Division team on Tuesday, scoring in the first half and doing little else in a 1-0 win at Sant Andreu.
Gelson Martins tried his utmost from the first whistle, scoring in the first half and showing his importance throughout.
Sant Andreu had three clear chances in the final stages of the game and Adan did well to deny Elhadji Bandeh Kandeh before Joan Noguera hit the crossbar from close range and Jaume Villar missed the target as he got on the end of a loose ball.
Juanfran was one of those with the least to prove but was as consistent as ever, offering support in defence and attack and showing his usual commitment.
