Atletico is playing United in the RO16.. Stevie’s two most hated teams. His head is going to explode
Im okay with their defense taktik, but for acting and rolling to wasting time is disgusting
ESPN: I don’t like it!
Atlético: aww
Yeah, he’s cracking.
They can defend all they want if their fans like it but that embelishment of ,,fouls" and acting like a bunch of babies is a total disgrace. Its like watching 11 Neymars playing minus his football skills…
Hate the style of play and they still beat the best team. Last season Liverpool got it.
I Love watching Atletico Madrid play against the big teams, it must be the most annoying and uncomfortable game for their opponents lol.
i unsubscribe to espn because of nicol, hes biased and never objective
as i said many times. Atletico is straight up trash. Sorry madrid fanboi, just take the L
I don't mind the style of playing… But i hate the attitude of it….
Atletico play the way their POS Manager played — shithousery, faking, crying, bitching, refuse handshakes just because, cynical, dirty
Sooner or later they are going to have to play football and will be exposed.
Simeone is by far the highest paid manager/coach in sports and its not even close. That must count for something, the board likes his style of management/football. Not the prettiest but gets results, trophies while they make money too
It was ok to play this style post-2017 when they did not have much money, now they are stacked in forward positions and still play like a team made up with a budget of 20 m
The day Simeone leaves Atleti is the day they go right back to being a mid-table side. This football works for them, it's that simple. I've watched this game for 20 years and Simeone is like their Fergie or Messi.
Athleti is the bully of European clubs ?
Liverpool fan hate Athleti ? I AM SHOCKED ?
a bit of respect to Porto that with less than 1/3 of the budget and always needing to sell their best players, always give an amazing fight and football matches. what a team ?
To the haters out there!!! ATLETICO… ! We do what we need to do, and is winning when we need to! At the end every team uses their own strategies.
Its kinda sad that a talented forward like Felix is being held back by the way ATM plays. Some say he is overrated i dont know, i think in an attack-minded team he could shine?
I like how everyone hates Atletico. It's our style of play, let others hate it ?
I love watching them play and happy to see British people cry.
Let me break this to you all- Atletico Madrid doesn't care if you don't like how they play
That is why they won the la liga title and constantly reach the latter stages of the champions league even though they don’t have much of a budget compared to the other teams and constantly need to sell their best players. These pundits can complain as much as they want but it’s clearly a model that has worked very well for this team. Also they forget the amount of effort and grit it takes to maintain a style like that.
The guys buyest. Outplayed win a win hmm interesting. Just shish mate
They dont give a shite man, they play to win not to entertain you. Sure its ugly but it does get the job done
One of the most unprofessional sides in world football. Only reason why ever win is because of their world class goalie and some individiual brillance. Always making dirty challenges and asking for card by surronding the ref. What a disgraceful lot. Not expected of a world class team.
Diversity in Football ™ We need the Atleti.
An English hating on the Spanish again… Some things will never change.
What stevie dunno about madrid teams is they are not barca that is only good with the ball. They can concede possession and beat a better team even. Stevie still having memories of madrid 2018, 2021 and atletico 2020.. Liverpool got lucky with that 3-2 in madrid against atleti. Yesterday they were talking about madrid letting inter play yet madrid won 2-0. Let a team play how they want please
Those guys only played like they are on paper in this final game.. I dunno what simeone was doing with this team this season before. They have the second best squad in spain.. even better squad than man united
Imagine atletico struggling this in groups stage and ends up winning the uefa
Just a horrible negative bunch of babies, led by a supreme Man baby.
So everyone should play like Man city or Liverpool? nonsence!
They are cheating bastards an have no business playing in modern football.
So glad Liverpool destroyed Atletico, hate how they play.
Anyone commenting that they “admire their fight” “ they would die for the club” are delusional. They are not fighting or showing grit or determination at all, not one bit. They turn football into a circus show, embarrassing themselves and trying to cheat everyone. They have no shame and are direct result of Simone’s own character, which is that of a very volatile and sick individual. Everyone associated with that club, or “admire them” don’t know anything about football but for some reason love scummy human beings.
lets not forget atletico is still one of the best clubs in the world winning laliga and being in ucl final twice
Stevie hates Atletico ever since they spanked Liverpool soundly in UCL.
I hate them aswell was hoping porto go through but they probably gonna get smoked by Real Madrid which I cant wait for and go out in the roud of 16
If Atletico wins The UCL
It would be the biggest Plot Twist of all Time
If Man City PSG Chelsea Man United Liverpool Bayern
Real Madrid don’t win it they will be 100% flops
