cholo is a serial loser, especially in:
the CL
and:
against CR
i reckon that if he wins his first final with Atleti they become a powerhouse
oh well
as it is Atleti is always: 6 free points for real in LL and a KO free pass for RM/CR
It's crazy how one game can change the history of football for one club.
for sure. imagine us losing to chelsea in 2008 at the bridge
It's not unique to us. Every club has this.
If Ramos doesn't score the equaliser against AM in 2014 CL, La Decima doesn't happen and they remain mental midgets in CL like they had been since 02.
History is about moments and history is written by the victors.
True, that probably was "it" for us in a good way, and PSG 4-0 and Liverpool 4-0 are the opposites. Start of decline and spiral of shitshow.
In a sense, IMO, the PSG 6-1 win was maybe the most tragic thing to happen to this team. It meant 4-0 was just accident, but cracks were showing.. The team wasn't up to standards anymore and started declining. That was the moment we should have started selling old players and signing new potential top players.
If we did that, first of all, we would have more money or a more valuable roster, because all those amigos declined and are now worth minus in terms of money, because of their high salary.. We could have sold Rakitic for 50 million after World Cup for example.
Huge huge mistakes.
Management was blind to these cracks.
The 15-16 win was decisive for them to win 3 Cl's in a row. Until then everyone thought winning Cl is the hardest thing on club level but the sneakness of Real to beat the mighty roma, wolfsburg, crap city and winning against atletico in the pen shootout has gave them unbelievable confidence as they realized ''Wow winning cl isnt as hard as we all thought, lets win it again''.
Speaking of 15/16, many will point to 16/17 or 13/14 as Ronaldos best CL-campaign, could very well be, but you know which campaign he had the highest goal+assist contribution? 15/16 season, 71% of all our goals he either scored or assisted, insane.
