I frankly never liked Athletico's playstyle, even during their 2013/2014 run. They had like 30 fewer goals than Real and Barca whole season.
The plan was simple, defend and let Costa just run around.
Good plan, but fugly football.

thats pretty much it
simeone led a middle budget crap team from mediocrity to the league title and the cl final

schelshit spends billions of oil money to park the bus

huge difference there

Most of you seem to Forget How much debt Atletico has
Of course they spend less, but it's not an excuse to play like that..
Dortmund had like a 30 moi squad and achieved the same while playing attractive football.

you have to work with what you have bro, not everyone has as many talented players as dortmund

Atletico has shitload of talents.. Maybe not as much as dortmund but still..

Atletico's b team is packed with raw talent. 2 uruguayan defenders, some class midfielders, excellent strikers.

Plus on the goalkeeping role they have had shitloads of talents. Asenjo, de gea, courtois, they are to gk role what valencia is to wing back role

Courtois

Cech is better atm but in a year or two I'd go for courtois

After this weekend David James seems a better option than either of these two

This weekend, lel
