Seriously speaking, Athletico Madrid despite being eliminated from the champions league still make their fans proud with their outstanding performance.
We do not need to only be proud but we need to be extra proud. Atletico Madrid will be at the top in La Liga but not winning the league as both Real Madrid and Barcelona are the ones winning the league. Also it is like that in Champions League but not up to the extent. Atletico will try and make it to knockout stage but later be defeated. Sometimes they even make it to semi final. They were eliminated fast this time in the knockout stage. Why not just win Real Madrid at least for ones in time like this. 2 - 0 would have been enough.
The whole system seems to be rigged. TBH, ATM deserved to qualify above Real Madrid but it seems that many factors were against ATM. The football we watch is a business before it becomes entertainment. The plot makers don't want to lose the special kids so early. They fix their bid with the likes of Mbappe, Vini and more.
Simeone has really tried for ATM and I don't have him blamed or any of his men. Most times it looks as if these things are more spiritual than physical. Cheers ATM, I'm with you on this one.
