This is not the underdog atlete side they were a decade ago this side is capable of going toe to toe with any top European side. I have huge respect for simeone for what he has done but this side need a manager who can take them to the next level. this team is capable of dominating la liga
Craig fucking retire already
Respect Someone.
Griezmann did an amazing job last night , Amazing cross for the 1 goal and unselfish assist for the 2 one
What problem do these pundits have? Atleti played brilliant imo and easily won 2-0
I am happy that atletico is in ucl
english pundits my god,atleti didn't control possession because they dont need to
But this is Atletico, this is Simone, ugly to the max
Possession dont matter but atm is really playing bad
They need something new
With that football philosophy Simeone isn't a problem at all . Let him stay 10 years more developing defenders ?♀️
what these pandits miss is this is the way atletico plays, they can have the best game of their season and still won't dominates possession.
I’d want to give Simeone one more season. If it is similar to this one, then he should leave. But I still do believe in him.
Simeone has taken them as far as they could. They won't win UCL with him
10 straight years playing Champions League. Not an easy feat no matter what the haters or Craig and Stevie say. 70M€ from Champions League guaranteed. 210M€ revenue from new sponsor WhaleFin. Another 100M€+ revenue from new stadium sponsorship this summer. Around 5 players will exit. Now they have the finances available to invest intelligently and have a better season in August.
Simeone was 100 times a better player than "Craig Who ?" Plus he is a Manager who has won 2 leagues in Argentina and 8 trophies with Atleti …who has Craig managed lol…BTW Atleti won 2:0 ???
Controlling possession means nothing….. man city had more possession than Real Madrid and still got knocked out
Atleti irrelevant. City won the league???? Congrats to Pep my mate. We will have tea after the season. Don't worry we are mates.
i use to honestly think its a barca hate but its much deeper seek help sick a**holes
They won 2-0? I though that possession didn't matter, at least that's what everyone was saying since the downfall of Barcelona's tiki taka…
I don't know what point Craig is trying to make. That's literally how Atletico plays against every team, they're known for being a defensive and counter attacking team. Delusional take.
All that matters is the result. Atletico 2-0 cleansheet.
Who cares they won 0-2 lol at the end of the day Simeone has played this way since day 1 and it’s resulted in 2 la liga’s, 2 UCL finals, 2 europa leagues, 1 Copa Del Rey & 2 super cups.
Yeah that’s because elche is one of the best teams in the world.
