Not a great performance but I personally think we had a good first half (especially on a tactical level) - If you expect a "champagne football" when you play Atletico you are a fool...
We were patient, attacked as a unit and defended very well.
Dybala was absolutely amazing and even more amazing than his free kick from a tight angle was that sick ball control when he got a long pass or his backheel that made the Atletico guy (forgot his name) look like a fool...
I think we would eventually play Dybala Ronaldo Higuain and it will be much better than Ramsey or Bernardeschi - I wouldnt expect it to happen right away but I think coming towards the later stages we might see it more..
MDL - He proves his price tag was not inflated and he is a beast of a defender (just needs to keep his hands close to his body at times..) - His sliding tackle to prevent a shot was sick!

In 2004-05 we got 16 points.
I remember that season very well. The only time we dropped points was against M.Tel Aviv playing an away game after we already secured top spot and 15pts (I wonder if some team ever reached 18...)
