The best is yet to come for Celta Vigo

Aspas was able to bring the likes of Mina and Rafinha around him into play

The visitors at Wanda Metropolitano had plenty of "nearly" moments. Celta Vigo with the talent of Iago Aspas, Rafinha, and Denis Suarez were a constant threat to Atletico's defence, at least till about the 70-minute mark.

Suarez and Rafinha, in particular, were a nightmare to deal with for the Atleti defence who found Rafinha's quick feet too much to handle. Suarez constantly found players running in behind with sublime balls over the top. Atletico were able to step in and prevent any damage, but not every team will be Atletico Madrid.

Celta have already faced Sevilla, Real Madrid, Valencia, and Atletico Madrid in their first five games. This team showed a lot of potential against all of these teams and their performances and results are bound to get better.

There were a lot of questions raised about Celta's defence, but they've shown that they can tighten up when it's needed to eke out a result.
