This SF may be a last hurrah for several Monaco players before the squad is plundered by clubs from Germany, England and Spain.

They are truly one of the most athletically gifted that I have witnessed in the last couple of decades.

This will be no pushover but I can see that Juve have their name etched on the trophy for 2017.

Atletico's squad is almost the same squad that played last year and not much different than the one that played 3 years ago.
But the tactic and balance of the side completely changed. They become more offensive and lost their edge abit organisation wise. They lose more to Barca and Real then before, falter in minor games etc. Because they been trying to take the next step by shifting things slowly to more attacking then the full defensive mode of before. Plus I gather the motivation and drive of said players change tiny bit when they seen as full fledged top team now, so more complacent.

Experience over athleticism
Quality over youth, defense over attack. As in they have fire power, but we do too, but their defense is litterally as bad or worse then Barca's. But they are more of a unite then Barca are. Its just their gunho approach and lack of proper personnel that makes them exploitable defensively. But most importantly, they exert TONS of energy in first hour of games, so if you wait them out you can punish them big time in 2nd halfs. Both City and Dortmund did with ease in two 2nd halfs.

It's kinda fucked up if Atletico makes the final also, loosing two finals in three years is going to make it much more complicated than facing Real in the final I feel.
Nah fuck that, Real would be by far most complicated to face in final. They have more quality then us. While Atletico doesnt and we are good enough to battle them tactically, Atletico, then others are.
