Atlético Madrid were ultimately eliminated from the Champions League. Argentine coach Simeone said they "had a very good Champions League campaign," but after also losing the Copa del Rey final, this marks the club's fifth trophyless season. With Griezmann set to leave the team, some suggest Simeone could be about to manage his final four matches with the Rojiblancos; the first of these will be against Celta Vigo, against whom they drew 1-1 at Balaídos earlier in the season.
The fact remains that Atlético will almost certainly secure fourth place in La Liga and qualify for next season's Champions League. Meanwhile, Celta, who have had a decent season, have secured a spot in next season's Conference League. They have a glimmer of hope of snatching fifth place from Betis, which grants them a Europa League berth.
Celta Vigo comes into this match on Matchday 34 after defeating Elche with goals from Álvarez, Aspas, and Iglesias, ending a five-game losing streak that led to their elimination from the Europa League at the hands of German side Freiburg. Giráldez's team has been consistent against clubs ranked higher in the table but has only managed to beat Real Madrid once in nine attempts against teams above them in the standings.

Our Atletico Madrid vs Celta Vigo Prediction
Alexander Sørloth, surprisingly not a regular starter for Atlético Madrid, has nevertheless found a way to play a major role this season. In fact, he's scored 11 of his last 12 goals at the Metropolitano. Julián Álvarez will miss Saturday's match due to injury.
As for Celta, Uruguayan midfielder Matías Vecino is doubtful. Without a doubt, this is a chance for revenge against an ideal opponent for Atlético; they haven't lost to Celta in their last 14 encounters.
Our prediction for Atletico Madrid vs Celta de Vigo is: Atletico Madrid to win.
