These newly advanced teams from the lower division are creating surprises. Barcelona was fully dominating the match but effective defense and counterattack made Barcelona nearly lose it. Atletico Madrid was too made to share the points with Elche. It's not that these teams would come in and just take the lead but the difficulty in playing them for larger teams could be due to their lower exposure to that team and their strategies. With teams playing each other more, they'd be more ready to handle the teams like they do to other teams they are used to.
