Real Madrid will be playing at home

i love the way klopp and simeone proving themselves, and opening a new era..

and i really love to see mou's and guardiola's tactics being destroyed..

chelski have never been a threat for atletico except set pieces.. and if they were able to park the bus, it would be ok but atletico are so dangerous, and with their self confidence topping now, they just tear chelski apart..

and, diego costa is the new roy makaay

Chelsea weren't even aiming for a title this season, besides - there's not much difference between Atleti's setup and Mourinho's

..so you say that player quality is the decisive factor in this draw?

No I'm saying that Atleti will play vs Real exactly the same as Mourinho would have

 

[Filipower]

Meh, well here's hoping Ronaldo clinches his third Ballon d'Or.

 

[Juventino]

I'm glad Mourinho isn't in the final, absolute hate watching his media antics and his Chelsea team play this season.

Atletico Madrid and Cholo Simeone are f*cking awesome to watch, I don't agree they play or look like Mourinho's Chelsea. Last year's Real-Atletico Copa del Rey final was probably one of my favorite matches ever as a neutral, so I'm hoping for a repeat of that drama.

Mourinho mind games.

 

[Xaviesta]

Cholo SimeONE! I love this team.

 

[Xaviesta]

atletico madrid and cholo simeone are f*cking awesome to watch, i don't agree they play or look like mourinho's chelsea.

+111111

Look at Paleti players, 80% are crap. What this man did is absolutely awesome.

 

[Xaviesta]

Koke is so awesome, I think he can replace Xavi. Easily.

You haven't watched too many Real-Atleti games, have you?

 

[Arnau]

Simeone has played in a lot of different ways against Real Madrid...

 

[Mus]

Mourinho mind games.

Everything has been a set up to develop for next season

 

[Juventino]

To use some of Ibrahimovic's logic to express the difference between Atletico/Cholo and Chelsea/Mou: Mourinho drives his Ferrari like a Fiat and Simeone drives his Fiat like a Ferrari.

 

[Mandieta6]

That sucks. Doesn't feel nice seeing Courtois pulling off those amazing saves and having your best player at fault for 2 goals. 3 shitty goales to concede, Atletico were better at every facet of the game. Had you told me at the beginning of the season we'd have a shot at the title and reach the semis I'd have been pleased, now it feels quite bitter. Now we hope City and Pool choke.

Well, I suppose we should be optimistic. This side reached the semis, with Matic and another season with Mou we might even win it.

Yes they played so well and dominant at home

tiago, raul garcia, koke.. even adrian.. gabi..


I dont like that metaphore, but really coaching a team is like being a chef.. simeone does it brilliantly..


and mus, I strongly disagree your opinion of atletico's tactics resembling mou's.. also, chelsea not going for any title is totally bullshit.. why did they hire mou, then?

Mourinho's mind games must be good.

 

[Arnau]

All 4 games this season between Paleti and Madrid were different, both coaches are excellent and the players believe in them.
