Atletico's defending these days is average at best, they used to be famous for it. I don't think they would've made the semifinals, had they had harder opponents.
Well it doesn't help their core Juanfran,Godin,Luis,Gabi and Tiago have all aged. back in 2013-14 having a back four of Juanfran-Miranda-Godin-Luis + having Tiago and Gabi parked right in front of the back four made them have one of the meanest defenses in Europe. :lol:

These days they simply don't have that aura anymore with those key members aging.

Thankfully for Real they will face even bigger bottlers than Atletico in the final in Juventus with captain clutch Higuain.

If we make it to the final, expect Higuain to finally not bottle it in a big game, its written in the star.

To be fair, Atletico despite having a great defense also had some decisive fortune at the back in the past 2 years. Take the barca game last year as an example, it was incredible how many goal line clearances, lucky blocks and last ditch tackles they had going in their way.

Higuain would bottle the final of "Kids league of southern province of North Korea". So yeah he will bottle it, he always does. You can be sure of that like you can be sure that sun will rise tomorrow or that Oblak won't save a penalty. :lol:

Man this really their time isnt it? Refs are on their side all their players are performing even the ones on the bench and the best of it we dont play against them in cl. Somehow i feel we are the only ones who can beat them on those matches even we are not great atm.

Didnt expect atletico to win this after so many fails in cl and i expect real to win cl again. Saddly because they are not that great afterall and their luck is mighty. But guess what they will say when they win it again? they are the greatest team all the time hahah fuck this. When was the last time they beat us?

That's true we can beat them, but we can't beat Juve or ATM so it's pointless.
