Atletico Madrid 2-0 Juventus

[The YeyeMan]

Atletico Madrid...Efficiency, intelligence, intangibles, schematics, culture. Well past underdog era, very much elite club on and off the pitch.

I've always been sold on Diego Simeone. He is the guy Mourinho wants to be. All he needs now is a Champs League win.

He's not a winner.

Simeone should have won the WC with Argentina in 1994, but FIFA had other plans, ejecting Maradona from the team for testing positive for a substance commonly found in cough medicine.

That Argentina team was baaaaaaaad.

Finding out that Klopp is a loser really hurt you deeply.

Diego Simeone won two trophies within the last 9 months. When was the last time Klopp won a trophy? Even the table soccer tournament regularly held at Dejan Lovren's home.

Please tell the DFB that only trophies won within the last 9 months count as victories. They'll be happy to listen to you.

He took ephedrine which is a supplement people take to keep weight off. Its not really a PED but it can give you more energy (sort of like caffeine).

Anyways, that Argentina team wasn't good enough to win the WC that year. Even with Maradona I don't think they could've beaten Brazil, Italy, or even their kryptonite (Germany).

Simeone is a great manager but he can be his worse enemy at times. He's the difference between Atletico winning the 2014 and/or 2016 CL final. Bad coaching decisions in both finals did Atletico in.

[The real deal]

The second leg will be the most brutal UCL match for this year. I see 1-3 red cards that day

No he did not. FIFA and Diego had a history from the 1990 WC Final, where he accused them of mafia behavior.

I strongly disagree. That Argentina team was scary, with a stacked midfield including Redondo and Maradona that probably created more chances than any other midfield up to that point. Then you had clinical strikers galore, Caniggia, Batistuta, Balbo etc. I believe they would have thumped Brazil even worse than they did 4 years earlier at WC 90, with many of the same players still present on both teams. With Maradona on the team they would have at least even odds of beating Italy and Germany.

You dont know that. That WC was very open. Alot of teams were good enough to make a deep run including Nigeria. I think Argentina could have made the final. Italy was struggling, Spain was still underarchivers, Bulgaria were dark horses and Brazil was not as good as the great Brazilian teams of the 70s and 80s.

Did not maradona said after the Nigeria game to Yekini that i will see you in the finals. Argentina would have won the world cup, Italy was lucky to get pass SE.

[wiseone]

Atletico are really hard to watch at times... but bl**y hell they are "hard tae beat".

Careful, you will upset the La Liga connoisseurs.
There is no team that plays like that in La Liga.

Anyway ,that Atletico is one nasty team, i always wondered how Simeone would do in an EPL club like United or Chelsea

[wiseone]

Atletico would hold their own in in the EPL (they would be a top 3 team at least). They have a lot of grizzled street fighters in that team who would not wince at having a tear up on a cold Tuesday night in Stoke, Burnley, or Leicester. Godin, Gimenez, Koke, Diego Costa...all those lads could handle themselves in a dark alley.

My friend was the referee lol, Argentina Nigeria 1994, swedish guy

[ohenhen1]

Maradona was out of shape in 94.

Maradona was out of shape in 94.

But was still better than 99.9% of all players in 94.
No player was danger and put fear to others like him.
Argentina would have won the world cup
