Winning 2 LLs again Barca and RM is arguably more impressive than winning 3 PL versus Man United (Chelsea wasn’t Chelsea yet).
Also 2 close CL finals v RM versus 1 close CL final v Barca.

I'm shocked at his talent ID for defenders.
If he actually had an elite defence like with Godin and Miranda back in the days it would perhaps make him allow his midfielders and forwards to actually play football.
Instead this man has purchased one scrub after the other and also lost himself some finals and key games playing the biggest scrub of them all Stefan Savic.

I agree with this.

Best midfielder around
Simeone is great. Always liked him and his passion. Although he does get too much praise on here for the 2014 league title as it coincided with Ancelotti, known for his weakness as a league manager, and a Barca side managed by a fraud who admitted that he wanted to involve Messi as little as possible in our games, glued him to the touch line far away from the ball, which led to his worst season ever and an amount of abuse on here that Lamine can only dream of. Anyway, Simeone and Inter are a match made in heaven. Surely the next step in his career after a year off or two.

When he had Godin and Miranda, Atletico played just the same way. This is his philosophy throughout, no matter if he has Maradona or... Pjanic on the squad.
Griezmann was his best player for all of these 15 years and his great display was thanks to Simeone's anti-football. Once at Barca those open spaces dried out and Griezmann failed.

Nah, it's a well-run club that Simeone helped become a big one.

What the hell was going on in his head when he decided to sign likes of Nico Gonzalez
Watching Levante - ATM and some of Cholo's players would probably fit the level of opp side much better

He should have used Nico Gonzalez more as a LB
Overall, Cholo's tactics are antiquated with no risk whatsoever

I was legit surprised when he signed Baguette (Lenglet) and made him a starter. He's been a starting CB for well over 2 seasons now and it's just a step down from the likes of Miranda, Godin, Savic

He's just having his Mister phase.

Alright well done
That was a serious battering and slap in the face for Flick
If they weren't so hot and cold and found consistency, this Atletico side would be a nightmare to face
This particural version of Atletico from tonight's game... no team in Europe wants to face

Yup, but we also made it easy for them with acres of space behind our defense. However, props to them today. If they played like this consistently, they could win a CL.

They did nothing special just take advantage of Kounde and Balde which is very easy.
