Simeone sat back the moment he got the 2nd goal, they literally only know how to counter or defend, no idea how to just keep the ball and take the sting out of a game.

That's what cost them 1 CL title as well.

That's how AM play. They can't attack superior teams except here and there. Be organized, take your chances. That's the style of AM.

Also there are two teams.. Liverpool upped it.

The superior team has more say in how game will go for most part.

When a team like Liverpool start pumping balls into box late on like that it is hard for Atleti to do much about it.. other than defend better in box.

We're nowhere near our best yet. Not even close.

We have signed like 5 starters and it will take some time to gel and build chemistry. Many of our players are not in form. Our squad is still suffering from the death of their close friend.

We played some delightful stuff today with Wirtz and Isak on the pitch.

Winning games at your worst is a great habit.

I get that but Liverpool have a team of giants there's a smart way to play that, keep the ball for as long as you can to calm things down.

Defending your box with a team of giants is asking for trouble.

But they played well, will be disappointed they didn't get the result

Of course. Not saying they didn't. But it was enough for Liverpool to give AM some space, and they got punished. Just like we did in the league. That's AM game. If you don't kill them, they can cause serious trouble.

Wirtz might not be him. Jury's out on Isak, but I prefer Ekitike so far.

Atelti are not a team that will keep ball off Liverpool.

It is not that simple as Liverpool.. the better team.. changed way played.

as I said above,once is lucky,but this is how many in a row that Liverpool snatched at the death?

And they will only improve.

Anyway...another great football night.

Liverpool ultimately were not punished. Barca were.

Works both ways Barca and Liverpool both overwhelmed them to beat them also.

Punished as in they had to rely on an individual moment of brilliance to win a match they looked to control firmly in the start.
