I don't particularly like Barca, Bayern, Real, ManU... but I've watched Barca matches for years when they play other big clubs, ever since Ronaldinho. I watched Madrid matches last year under Ancelotti, and way back in the early 00s under Del Bosque (nowhere near as many under Mourinho because I didn't enjoy watching that mess). I watched a lot of Bayern in 2011-13 because that team was a machine and played incredible lightning fast football. ManU in the 2008-2009 era. I didn't cheer for them or support them, but I sure enjoyed watching them play in CL, and against the top teams in their respective leagues.
I love football. I'll always only support/cheer for Juventus to win, but I'm going to watch the matches of clubs that play entertaining/good football also.
+rep.
You are so damn right, look what happened afterwards

It's very easy, I used to enjoy the football that Chelsea played during Mourinho's first spell especially with Drogba and Essien bossing the field. What you don't understand is that I never ever defended them or like you do, defended them at each and every fucking opportunity.
I defend everybody, even the players and teams I dislike. But you're an opportunist that selectively chooses the posts that fit your narrative. I could go on and on with examples if you were actually interested in a discussion, but you're not.
You're just a fanboy. Atletico was a popular team last season, because they weren't Barcelona or Real. Suddenly they were backed by the greater public. You, being the fanboy you are, immediately switched allegiances and cheered for them.
But get this: they were playing some of the ugliest football ever played.
Your logic doesn't hold up. You just cheer for pretty much anyone. And even if it did hold up, there's a difference between appreciating football and masturbating to the overrated genius that is Pep.
Seven, I'm going to try and break this down into simple parts for you. If you actually bothered to read my posts, you'd have understood, but this is a weekend and I have time on my hands, so I'll humor you and break it down in terms you understand.
First of all, yes Atletico, especially against the top teams, plays an aggressive, defensive minded, counter attacking type of football, not exactly the football I enjoy the most.
Second, I said that I enjoy possession based, attacking football, it's the brand of football I enjoy the most. Barcelona currently are the team who plays that brand of football the most effectively. Hence, I like watching their matches, I watch them almost every week.
Third, when I say I enjoy watching that brand of football, I enjoy it whomever the team that plays it. So for example PSG play that kind of football in France. So I've watched their matches more than any other team in France. If Barcelona start playing like Chelsea do for example, then I'll definitely stop watching them. If PSG start playing like Atletico, then ya, I'll probably not watch them as much.
Fourth, and this is the most important point Seven, so I want you to concentrate as much as you can. The fact that I like a certain style does not equate into supporting the team. It does not mean that I wish that they win, or that I celebrate their victories. So in France, I was hoping Lyon would win the league this season. In Spain, I always wish a team outside the big two wins the Liga.
The main point is:
Enjoying the way a certain team plays does not equate to cheering for them, or wishing they win
Please let me know if you have any difficulty in understanding any of that. Plenty of people have already got the point without this over elaborate explanation

The fact that all this bothers you so much is just so funny
