The most overrated team of the last 20 years. Maybe even more. I've never seen a team get so much credit for doing so little.
Our squad was supposed to be "far weaker" (please don't let me bring out quotes).
Yet...
-Despite Messi being out for months
-Despite Iniesta playing at 60%
-Despite arguably our best player of the season (Valdez) being injured for months
-Despite our two best full backs injured for months
-Despite their best player scoring a gazillion goals
-Despite buying the new Iniesta™ and the new Xabi Alonso™ and spunking 100 million on Ronaldo mk II
-Despite the referee practically gifting them about 6 points
They're STILL behind us by 5 points and could very easily could have been 7 today
How can you have all that going for you and still be where they are? elite team my Arse.
Lord please make Atletico finish ahead of them! (and its looking fairly likely)
How do you spend 500 million, hoping to overthrow your biggest rivals, then not only did you fall pathetically short of that goal, even your city rivals that used to be shite, started performing better than you, with about 10 times less the team cost
Atletico, please finish ahead of them*, it'll be one of the most hilarious seasons in La Liga history
*- but not ahead of us of course
