Civitas Metropolitano, Madrid, ESP
Simeone's Atletico hero status was under threat. This is how he's turned it roundEarly last season, Atletico were struggling and there were doubts over Diego Simeone's future. Now, he looks set to extend his stay
Jose Maria Gimenez - Registers assistGimenez registered an assist and attempted two shots (one on target) in Tuesday's 6-0 win over Celtic.
ImpactGimenez was starting only his third game of the season (in all competitions) and picked up his first attacking return of the campaign when he headed a cross back across goal for Alvaro Morata to tap in. The defender was unlucky not to get his first goal when his header rattled the bar.

Saul Niguez - Scores from the benchSaul came off the bench to score with his only effort at goal in Tuesday's 6-0 victory versus Celtic.
ImpactSaul scored his first of the season when a wayward shot fell to him in the box, putting the chance away at the second time of asking. The midfielder has had to settle for a place on the bench for the last two games (in all competitions) with Pablo Barrios the preferred option, but he could easily return to the starting XI for Sunday's clash with Villarreal.

Lino - One goals and two assistsLino came off the bench to score once from three shots (one on target) and assist to goals in Tuesday's 6-0 win against Celtic.
ImpactLino marked his return from a knee injury with a wonder goal and two assists. His three goal involvements came despite him only playing the final 25 minutes. He had started six of the seven games prior to his injury, scoring one goal and registering two assists, and it would be no surprise to see him retake his place in the starting XI in the coming weeks.

Antoine Griezmann - Scores braceGriezmann scored twice from six shots (three on target) and attempted five crosses (three accurate) in Tuesday's 6-0 victory over Celtic.
ImpactGriezmann was lucky to see his shot deflected past the keeper for his first, but there was nothing lucky about the acrobatic volley for his second which will live long in the memory. He ranked joint first for chances created and was unlucky not to register his first assist of the season. He has 11 goals in all competitions.

Alvaro Morata - Three goal involvementsMorata scored a brace from three shots (two on target) and registered one assist from two chances created in Tuesday's 6-0 hammering of Celtic.
ImpactMorata had earlier had a goal ruled out for offside before scoring twice, one of which was a brilliant hit into the top corner from the edge of the box. He is the competition's top scorer at the time of writing with five and he has scored from 50% of his efforts at goal. The striker is one goal short of his best ever Champions League haul for a single season.

Jan Oblak - Easy clean sheetOblak made two saves on his way to a clean sheet in Tuesday's 6-0 victory over Celtic.
ImpactOblak did not have to work too hard to keep his first clean sheet in the Champions League this season. He was mostly a spectator as the opposition struggled with 10 men. He next comes up against Feyenoord, who have netted seven times in four games.
