La Liga is not treating Atletico well. Just compare to Juventus. Juve played on Friday before the CL game on Tuesday and will again play tomorrow. 3 matches in 9 days.
Atletico played on Saturday before CL match in Torino, then again today in another away game. 3 matches in 7 days, thereof 2 away. And they don't have strong replacements at each position.
Griezmann was quite passive against Juventus and pretty silent today. They have not scored in their last 2 matches. Unless Barça messes up, their season is pretty much over.
Nothing anti-Atlético specifically. It has been the case for Spanish teams (us, RM, Sevilla, Valencia etc.) and in general teams competing in Europe since I can recall. While Italian, Portuguese, French, German and Dutch top teams (if playing in Europe on say a Tuesday the next week) almost always play on a Friday, this never occurs in Spain or England. Apparently will be changed from next year on or so I heard.
