The One where we won playing badly

Atleti ended a five game winless La Liga streak by beating Granada 2-0. In the Europa League front Atleti shone with a brilliant display by Salvio and Adrián scoring a beautiful third goal. Things would have run more smoothly had Simao not scored the worrying final 3-1. Simeone’s team seems to be running on empty every second half even though the last two matches were wins. Will the team cope with the sustained intensity Cholo demands?
