Inter vs Atletico Madrid
1 - 0
Atletico Madrid seemed to be really frustrated because they were so hard to attack to Inter's defense. Actually, Both Atletico Madrid and Inter did great job, but in this case, Inter did much better in attacking. they are more offensive although they actually also faced some difficulties during the match.
Both teams implemented a different strategy, Inter Milan played with repeated attacks because they are targeting victory at home while Atletico Madrid applied a defensive game and hoped that the match ended in a draw unfortunately Atletico Madrid's defense managed to break in the 80th minute and Inter Milan locked the victory.
It's not unusual to find Atletico Madrid defending in a game where they aren't sure of victory, especially when they are playing a better and in form side like Inter Milan. Worst still in this encounter, Inter is playing from a home side. Simeone would always try to defend and not conceive with hopes that, by some chance they night catch Inter Milan on a counter attack and get something out of it but, how well does this strategy works, you eventually get pressured to conceive. When your not taking the game to them and your defense is constantly been tested, they are sure to find the break at some point and get a winning goal.
AC Milan needs to be more attacking, they've got a squad that give them that attacking power.
But Simeone is also the kind of coach who is ok with a 0-1 for the second leg because he has had some outrageous fights in the past in their home stadium. Losing this game 0-1 doesn't bother him, I am sure about that. Of course if for so long it is tied at 0-0, the goal is and must be to take it home or to get that lucky punch and even win they have the quality to score goals. But at the same time Atletico knew that they are against the best team in Europe maybe next to Manchester City and Real Madrid and you usually don't beat these teams in their home stadium. I can already see in front of my eyes how crazy the second leg will be from the first second to the last.
