Diego Simeone, the Atletico manager, says all the matches are important as they look to maintain at the top of the La Liga standings.
"All the games are an important step to reach the goals that one seeks, it was a difficult, hard game [against Cadiz]," Simeone said.
"We knew that when we started to have it under control we were going to suffer, they are a team that maintains a dynamic style of play and they made it 3-2.
"It led us to a great effort until we resolved with [Angel] Correa's play and Koke's definition."
