Gabi urges Antoine Griezmann to honour Atletico Madrid shirt
It has now been seven games in all competitions since the Wanda Metropolitano last saw their side concede and the victory maintains the seven point lead over third place rivals Real Madrid.
Barca, who lead the league standings, beat Malaga 2-0 at La Rosaleda thanks to goals from Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho in a game which did not feature Lionel Messi after he welcomed the arrival of his third child on Friday evening.
Atletico's only recent setback was a 1-0 loss at Barcelona in the previous round. The effort left coach Diego Simeone exuberantly punching the air in celebration. I want to reach the final five rounds with chances. "If that happens, we will talk of something else".
It's of no surprise Atletico are keen for that partnership to continue to flourish, though Costa's presence would also make Griezmann's departure somewhat more palatable as they'd still have a reliable goalscorer in the side.
France forward Antoine Griezmann broke the deadlock a minute before halftime to move on to 16 league goals for the season and draw level with Celta forward Iago Aspas as the fourth top scorer in the top flight.
Griezmann's goal on Sunday came a minute before the break as he controlled the ball at the back post following a corner and showed some brilliant footwork to take a Celta defender out of the game before firing into the far corner.
