Yannick Carrasco led the Atletico seven goal romp.

Atletico Madrid have produced a stellar comeback performance against Granada. The Rojiblancos were given a scare after going down 1-0 in the 18th minute courtesy of an Isaac Cuenca strike. They responded in emphatic style, scoring seven goals in 53 minutes.
The result is surely indicative of a successful season ahead. After two agonisingly close Champions League finals, it seems that the arguably greatest defensive lineup in the world is now complemented with an offence to match.
Antoine Griezmann's talents in front of goal were unneeded, with the Frenchman instead playing the role of provider. It seems a sign that the club's over reliance on their goal scoring talisman is coming to an end, as all seven goals came from either midfielders or substitutes,
Yannick Carrasco has shown his worth, with a clinical hat-trick and two assists. Atletico are rumored to be in the process of renewing his contract with a €100m release.
Despite the quality of their opposition, Atletico have shown they are capable of backing up their form of 2014. All eyes will be on them on come November 21st, as the Madrid derby will show if they are a match for their cross-town rivals.
