Everyone is beginning to believe that Atletico Madrid are the real deal in LaLiga this season Six years on from their title triumph in 2013-14 campaign, it feels as if history is repeating itself Atletico boss Diego Simeone has them playing like champions – but takes it a game at a time But this title charge is not reliant on one man, far from it. With seven goals so far this season Felix is well on course to eclipse last year's underwhelming first season at the club and he looks a completely different player alongside Suarez. Diego Simeone has got both Luis Suarez and Joao Felix firing up front this season With seven goals already, Felix is well on course to eclipse last year's underwhelming season There seemed little love lost at times between Simeone and Felix but now – just as he did with Antoine Griezmann – Simeone seems to be fashioning a player to suit Atletico's needs and he is not afraid to alter the way his team plays either to meet the record signing from Benfica half way. Real reject Marcos Llorente is a player reborn under Simeone and is now in the Spain squad Carrasco's pace is not the only frightening thing about this Atletico side.
