No question Athletico have won but what quality player would want to play for Diego the guy is delusional the way he uses attacking players, I'm sure players want to go to Athletico like it's in Madrid the fans are awesome but the coach doesn't give the fans a proper football match
Change the narrative! How many pundits predicted a Man city 1 goal win? None. They all viewed this game as an easy win, a two-goal plus win. Simeone developed a realistic game plan to have a chance to compete and win the series. He achieved the first objective and had moments to draw the tie. Was atm approach exciting no! Was it attractive no but it was close to doing the job Also, Simeone has tried to be an attacking approach, but unfortunately he did not succeed because due in my opinion the team reflects his character, unfortunately, he is limited in his offensive game? Now do I condone the end of field antics no and Simeone needs to change the culture of accepting or dare say encouraging such behaviour
Atletico in UCL always to be a loser team
Simeone is a top lad and his side competed with city really well and could have won. Flabby Gabby saying his side's style of play can't be successful in the long run is utter garbage. La Liga champions ffs. Most teams get hammered off of city when they try to outplay them. Simeone's style of play is perfect to win trophies and to complete at the highest level.
He's not a good coach, who would leave Suarez on the bench for 80 minutes lol
Atletico is one of the few clubs that keep it real!
Atletico did not have enough players with the necessary speed to keep attacking as the team did in the last 20 minutes.
Love Pep' s genius tactics.He is getting better and better at outmanoveuring the oppositions tactics
Gab… You need to learn how to listen when another person talked. You start to annoy me with you negative mouth.
Gab… I like how you twist anything into the right way. I used to know people like you. At the end, I walked away.
The poor tactics of this man you have nobody to blame but you and your tactics.. wasting time when you are ahead feel it now.. pay back time
Athletic could be really scary but they usually defend most of the time WHY?
Athletico what a comedy savic wanted to destroy foden's career it seems like. Coach pep should have subbed him. These evil people though are crazy. Like coach like players.
dude has it good. constantly loses and keeps his job
I’m not saying atleti aren’t dirty. But a lot of people here comparing parking the bus to wasting time, which is pretty dumb ?
Gabs strong dislike for english teams constantly shines through
UEFA: Free Pass to kick City
FA: Atletico,Pool,Atletico,Pool
VAR: Fabinho,Thiago,Savic innocent
City: We will take on any Discriminant Standards you set for us ?
this is the second best win in Manchester city history in Europe they are a small team
UEFA should investigate the incidents on the fields on Savic….UEFA should punish Atletico for being a rude football team….
Atletico plan worked.. their plan is to convinced man city that whatever they do, they cant break atletico defense by playing hard and strong tackles.. that pushed man city to think to preserve lead rather than taking risks.. in some way, atletico succeed destroying man city focus to attack so they can dominate and try to force man city to make defending mistakes in which man city manage to stay focused and control..
Who had more of a chance to go through, Benfica or Atleti? How did Bayern get taken down?
