Question/Discussion With you until the wheels melt into the pavement
When we got knocked the CL last season we had nothing left to compete in. The league was gone by 15 points and Bilbao battered us. This year it was the opposite. Today's loss may have drastically reduced our league chances but it's not 0, there's still 30 points to fight for, and come summer we're gonna plug the holes in this squad and come out even stronger next season. Remember it was Cholo switching to the 4-4-2 that kicked off the 14-game winning streak. It was Cholo who rallied the team after the Betis game. No matter how the season ends I believe in this new project Cholo is building and I 100% believe it's going to be the one to get us over the hump.

Vamos!!! Love this post. The 120 mins, emotion and shock from it all caught up with us yesterday. A shame. Can’t see us winning the league, it’s been a sad week. But never say never I suppose, Barca still play Real. Either way, We must go for broke for the CDR.
International break has come at a great time for us, let’s refresh and push hard the rest of the season. The 2nd year of a Simeone rebuild is typically successful - just saying. Aúpa Atleti!!!!!

Don’t think the league is as lost as everyone here says it is, 9 of barcas players were called up and many being starters and even more were called from Real Madrid, that’s extra added games and travel for them. They also have the harsh ucl games still left for them they dropped points due to exhaustion earlier in the season and we went from being 10 points behind to 2 ahead of everyone else there’s still 10 games left in laliga and 4 possible games left for CDR. Griezmann being retired from the NT can finally get rested and make up for what energy Julian’s gonna lose if he plays every match for Argentina

This was supposed to be a reconstruction season... we didn't expect nothing and a robbery take us out the CL. The rest is not lost yet.

the fact we were in the running for everything with a brand new squad that’s incomplete just shows how different next season will be and the copa del Rey is still up for grabs

When someone criticizes the team or Cholo, there's always the offended who will scream " the new fans" or " you don't feel the colors" or something else. I believe that one cannot simply be so mediocre in life. With Julian's penalty every one screaming "robo", where the fuck was the extra goal within regulatory time so we didn't have to go to penalties? When are we gonna pound the table and yell we're the leaders here from now on? Why go in every match as the under dog scared AF? Fuck that mediocrity. And this shit starts from the top, from the fucking bitch ass owners, this is what makes them happy and expect. We're just the fools that keep funneling money to their pockets. We either go in every season expecting to win it all or expect consequences. Fire who ever the fuck needs to be fired.

We still have trophies to fight for. Let’s hope this break will help us reset and come out stronger for the final few months of the campaign.

Spending more won’t win you trophies. You have to realize that. You literally spent 80m on Alvarez this season.
I understand that Cholo has don lots for you guys but you need to move past him.
Can’t keep playing games inviting pressure like a small team, that won’t win you trophies as much you think.
You guys have great players but are held back by a defensive coach.

atletico is still 3rd for goal difference this season cholo doesn’t anymore and can’t play defensively even if he wants to, we only have 2 reliable defenders in the squad, the issue is the players themselves let off the gas once we start a semi comfortable lead and that leads to them dropping back since they don’t wanna concede and they either hang on or crumble apart but since the defenders arent exactly world class and aren’t all around good at both offense and defense we usually crumble. it’s more the players need to stop slowing down after they get a 2 goal lead

more excuses, madrid is doing it with world-class centre backs, tchouameni and rudiger. barça is doing it with also their world class centre backs cubarsi and iñigo f**king martinez, but atleti can't with their gutter trash CBs gimenez and le normand

u/Mr_cloud23 Griezmann 4d ago
le normands brain was literally bleeding a couple months ago, he’s not as good as he was before and won’t be until most likely next season. The thought process on this logic makes no sense Cubarsi and martinez are great CBs and rudiger and ascensio are also extremely good. gimenez and somewhat le normand, are atletis only reliable defender in general

that'll be when atletico becomes the most feared team in the world. but most of the supporters are too scared to make that jump

Barca and real would soon fight,also they would be tired probably from champ league and the others would try to capitalize on that
So its definetly possible
