They were too cautious against us. Simeone overrated us and expected more than what we really can do but had they a different mentality and approach in those 2 matches, we wouldn't have stand a chance.
Yes exacly, i was just wondering why their approach against us was so different compared to when they play Real of Barca. Perhaps Simeone noticed that we have difficulties creating changes against a tight defense and didn't want to create space behind their last line, which would happen when pressing high on the pitch..

Absolute and complete destruction. R. Madrid should have bought some grinta for games like this. They just laid down and died. They think they can walk to the CL because last year they won it but they forget they were saved by Ramos' header at the death.

Atletico might be better off than last year since instead of just Costa they have Mandzukic and Griezmann (and Torres). Depth. :touched:

100 mph every match.

I think that Atletico would have won the final had not their team been decimated by injuries (Costa and Arda).

Ya they have better depth this year. Everyone is not paying them any attention like usual but they look just as good as last year. :shifty:

So Real got trashed today by the team Juve held off pretty well over the two legs, some might even say we outplayed them. Interesting...

Come on now, Atletico bent over for us and let us have the draw. They showed us they weren't interested in winning the match and we didn't take any risks when we went forward not to leave space for a counter attack.

There was only 1 out come for that game and it had draw written all over it.

This.

Atletico didn't seem to want a win that whole match.
