There's a new team in town who's wooing all the critics with some electrifying football and spectacular scorelines.
Atlético Madrid have now assumed the role as La Liga's chief entertainers after being involved in three stunning seven-goal thrillers - two of which they won - in as many weeks.
However, those three matches have all been games played at home where they have been simply irresistible in attack. But when they are on the road, it's a different Atlético that tends to turn up on the pitch.
The mattress men have only scored four goals in their last five away league games, a huge disparity in comparison to their unstoppable scoring feats at the Vicente Calderón, and they look as though they might be suffering from a case of split personality.
Mexican coach Javier Aguirre is still looking to find the perfect balance between defence and attack. A good example would be the straightforward, albeit less exciting, 2-0 win over Aberdeen in the UEFA Cup in midweek. Los Colchoneros completely dominated proceedings but managed to keep their attacking gusto in check to successfully and finally keep a clean sheet at home after leaking in ten goals in their last three.
