Atletico at home is nearly impossible to beat, prime Ancelotti Real didnt win there, Zidane Madrid lost there, Pep Bayern lost there, peak Liverpool lost there, MSN Barca lost there and now even Inzhagi Inter!

That was pure luck! We annihilated them. They were shite defensively too. They were just extremely lucky in that tie.

We easily dispatched them home and away in 2021.

Arsenal are not closer? Really?

Arteta has been questioned as Arsenal manager since his appointment back in 2019. He is still being questioned and unless he can pull a rabbit out of a hat he just won't be able out do both Klopp and Pep. Just watch the team fold now that it really matter.

It has already started but people can't see because they haven't won one big title yet. But they are on their way
Like it was for Liverpool in 2018 when idiots were calling Klopp loser: they had started and were really close

I expect you to come here on your own initiative and admit you were wrong after 5-6 years from now, when Arteta would have turned Arsenal to the new Liverpoool or City with titles

Total nonsense, Klopp demonstrated he was a great manager already at Dortmund destroying Real Madrid. All Arteta has done so far is fluking a FA cup. withing the first 3 seasons Klopp had already played 2 European cup finals and the fourth year he won it.

Also, Simeone just took Atletico de Madrid to a European cup quarterfinal for the ninth time in 13 years, 7 of those in the Champions League. To put that into perspective, the previous 9 european cup quarterfinals played by Atletico was spread over a 35 year time span, and of those 9 only 2 were the European Champions cup, the rest were 3 in the UEFA cup and 4 in the Cup Winners cup. In fact before Simeone, Atletico only manager 5 European Champions cup quarterfinals in 57 years.

Right now, Atletico will qualify to the FIFA club world cup instead of FC Barcelona because of better results in European cup football. Only if FC Barcelona reach the final and Atletico loose both quaterfinals the situation will reverse. That is 50 million FC Barcelona really need that Atletico will get in prize money just for qualifying.

You miss the point.
I didn't object that Simeone grew Atleti's size since 2012.
I argued that he is obsolete now, and since a few years, and they should move on

About Arteta: Winning two titles (even minor) against Klopp and Pep in his first 6 months is a first positive evidence.
But the biggest evidence is how he made ARsenal change level season after season, improving them season after season.
Only biased dudes will refuse to acknowledge that.
Of course if he was coaching in LL or Serie A or Bundesliga, he would have won a league already and loooong time ago
But he is coaching in the best league in the world against the very very best, cream de la crem of coaches
