Atlético, as written many times before, hence my criticism of them and Cholo's tactics (many users disagreed back then), have been bang average this season. In particular offensively. They barely create. I have watched the majority of their league games this season and it has been a recurring problem all season long. Even before their tie against Juve they were incredibly lucky in several league games barely creating anything against the likes of Rayo and their notoriously bad defense.
Happy to see Athletic no longer being in danger of going down for the first time in history. Great club, great fanbase, amazing tradition and hard to dislike the Basque country or even Athletic's historical football style (at least since the days of Telmo Zarra ended) that fits their mentality, Bilbao as a city (weather wise) and "Green Spain" as a whole. Like watching the EPL pre-foreigner invasion minus the Southern/Latin temperament and passion. Hate playing against them at San Mamés when we are struggling but incredibly hard to dislike them as a club.
Aupa Athletic. Even more so after tonight!
