Atletico Madrid's Champions League expectations illustrate club's growth during the Diego Simeone era

Luis Suarez didn't wait, and he didn't look back. At the end of Atletico Madrid's visit to Elche on Wednesday night, he headed straight down the tunnel, still annoyed that the goal he'd scored was ruled out. He had felt like he needed it -- a little vindication at the close of a difficult season, a reminder that he was still here. He had started just one of the past five games, and his last goal was against Alaves seven matches ago. In recent weeks, he has rarely got off the bench. This year he has scored half as many as he did last season, when he led Atletico to the LaLiga title.
