Simeone learns what happens when you leave 115m euros on the bench Celta 2 - 0 Atletico Madrid No new signings started in Vigo

Atletico Madrid were outplayed at Balaidos on Saturday afternoon and suffered a 2-0 defeat against Celta Vigo, one which could perhaps have been avoided had Diego Simeone started some of his summer signings.

He left all of his new arrivals on the bench for this match.

Thomas Lemar, Rodri, Nikola Kalinic, Santiago Arias, Gelson Martins and Antonio Adan all arrived in the most recent transfer window and they were all sat in the dugout for the kick-off of this game.

While not all of them would have been expected to start, Arias might have been expected to replace the injured Juanfran instead of Jose Maria Gimenez, Lemar might have expected another outing in midfield and Rodri might have hoped to be trusted in midfield.

Yet Simeone left 115m euros worth of talent on the bench and paid the price.
