Atlético Madrid

[Blaugrana Bull]

La Liga is in the bag. You should worry more about our performances in CL.

While I am happy that the cockroaches are out of the CL, I am gravely concerned that they will now focus 100% of their energy on the league and that 7 point difference between our two clubs will not be enough.

They will keep grinding out those 1-0, 2-0 wins. We can't afford any slip-ups in the league. And we've got to beat them at home.

Ever the pessimist. They will drop points as they have doing all season. If you haven't noticed they have been mediocre all season and parking the bus can only take you so far as shown against Juve.

If they have been mediocre all season but yet managed to stay only 7 points behind us then there is something for us to watch out for.

We haven't been that good. Average(last 10 years) LaLiga season we wouldn't be even leading.

Let's wait and see who will have the last laugh, I certainly hope it is us.

We were also mediocre at season start but got better. Just shows how pathetic Atleti have been that they couldn't surpass even a poor Barca side.

Really puts the difficulty of winning this year's La Liga into perspective doesn't it? Hell, even last years La Liga was kinda poor.

Muh double though.

I think overall La Liga is sinking while the EPL is rising, sporting-wise.

Everything in life is a cycle. Can't rule for perpetuity. Ask the Romans.

Infinite money has to start working at some point.

They played way too defense & deserve to lose, Simone needs to show some ambition at times

 

[Joan]

Valverde could be a great choice for them once Simeone leaves.

Yeah i'm sure seniors at Atleti would be in top shape with Valgreen there and not running the team, as they are under Simeone.

Plus its not like Atleti need to move on from bus parking football which has always brought them results....

La Liga is not treating Atletico well. Just compare to Juventus. Juve played on Friday before the CL game on Tuesday and will again play tomorrow. 3 matches in 9 days.
Atletico played on Saturday before CL match in Torino, then again today in another away game. 3 matches in 7 days, thereof 2 away. And they don't have strong replacements at each position.
Griezmann was quite passive against Juventus and pretty silent today. They have not scored in their last 2 matches. Unless Barça messes up, their season is pretty much over.
