Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

Awaiting for the tomorrows draw !!!!

But let first talk about, WHAT a WIN for Atletico MAdrid, they reach the game played like shit in one of his worst levels in years under the Simeone era, but seems like they recover the memory and play like the old and mighty Atletico Madrid from early Simeone years.

In fact Atletico Madrid's strength this season is still the same as last season, but they are often unable to consistently maintain the team's performance so we often see the Atletico Madrid team playing below standard in the domestic league and Atletico Madrid's victory over Inter Milan was a bit of a surprise because Inter Milan was in conditions are very good this season but this is the Champions League, there are many surprises and a mentality is needed and Atletico Madrid have proven that they have a pretty good mentality on the Champions League stage.

The team that competes through the penalty shootout certainly has a good mentality. because a penalty taker must have a good mentality so that his penalty execution runs well and successfully.

Atletico Madrid may indeed be strong mentally. And they proved it by successfully beating Inter Milan in a penalty shootout. And yes, penalty shootouts are more about a battle between players' mentalities and also about luck. So every team that manages to advance further through the penalty shootout can be said to be a team that has a strong mentality and also has good luck. And about Atletico Madrid I feel they are indeed lucky. But in the second leg I also have to admit that their performance as hosts was quite good. So they really deserve to pass to the next stage. Even though I also hoped that Inter Milan would qualify, they have now failed and yes, that is because they also lost in the battle of mentality and luck in the penalty shootout.
