Hate to see two Madrid teams in the final.. but I guess anything is better than Real Madrid winning La Decima.

All the pressure will be on Real Madrid and Athletico will be really hard to beat and have nothing to lose. No Alonso as well Athletic will win it its as chelsea fans might say Written in the stars

Everybody has something to lose in a final IMO.
 
People said we or Pep doesn't have a plan b, but what about the 'Special One'...'Only One'...'Tactical Genius'. Where'd his plan b go today?

They were both underdogs at the beginning of the tournaments. That's enough for a comparison. No one thought Atletico will eliminate Barcelona and play the CL final. It was the same with Greece -- when people took them seriously it was too late.

Oh now i see the game your are playing...so Barca didn't take Atletico seriously,that's why they were outplayed,right?

The comparison makes no sense whatsoever...Atletico is neither playing bus type football,nor they rely on luck,plus the sample of 50+ games this year completely overmatches the sample of 3-4 games Greece won.

No, by that time Atletico was already treated seriously by everyone. But if you check the betting odds at the beginning of the CL season, Atletico was probably on 50/1 chances to win it or play the final. And don't act like you anticipated Atletico will go to Lisbon.

They are a defensive team. And they also park the bus from time to time. Check the entire 2nd half on Camp Nou for exemple. They don't do it all the time, but parking the bus is one of their tactics.

Probably better than that.

I put a bet on Atletico to win La Liga before the league kicked off at 66/1
