Barcelona played well against a completely shut-down opponent afterward. They scored three goals, and I expected more. Still, this score is acceptable. This week in Spain began with Barcelona's victory, and there were no problems securing three points. Real Madrid's first match is in a few days. This clash with Barcelona this year will be exciting. Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, had a rough start to the league with their loss yesterday. Espanyol beat them 2-1.
Atletico Madrid is just sinking gradually, but come to think of it, isn't it high time Diego Simeone leaves Atletico Madrid! Currently his the longest serving manager in the whole of La Liga as his been at the club for more than 10 years now. The club needs a change of management and the coach needs to try out another team or does he want to coach the team for the rest of his managerial career. Losing to Espanyol Barcelona on the beginning day is really something else for me.
I share your sentiment, I think it’s time Athletico Madrid make that changes in their management, the team was so poor in their game last night and the style of play from the coach is not impressive to me anymore, being more defensive minded is not a so grateful game to me anymore, they need a new coach who will come in with his own different style of play of trying to win games in a more comfortable manner, the team seems to be performing very poorly, and that was how it is last season and starting with this same performance this season is quite disappointing and ridiculous, loosing an opening game to Espanyol is totally unacceptable and disappointing, I feel sorry for Julian Alvarez he isn’t supposed to be playing in a team like Athletico Madrid, he deserves a more better team, Diego Simeone deserves to be sacked or resign from that job, Athletico Madrid need to make that change in their management.
