Only conceded 9 goals in 25 games

>Only conceded 9 goals in 25 games.
They've been so good this season; how did they not make the CL knockouts?

they didn't fall for the CL meme and prefer the comfy EL

>Atletico "0-0 or 1-0" Madrid just scored 4 at Sevilla

the state of Manchester United and the EPL

because they can't score goals without Costa

They were bad at scoring until they signed Costa.

now 5
lmao can't wait to see Soria butthurt
que cosah ma grande

Couldn't beat carrier bag in 2 attempts

Is Simeone a better bus parker than Mourinho?

>how did they not make the CL knockouts?

They were just unlucky and couldn't rise to their normal level across those games. It happens sometimes. They're still one of the best teams in europe and should go all the way in the Europa League.

Teams who have been disqualified from the CL shouldn't be promoted to EL, it's a shame that a team that is eliminated has another chance in another competition, how is this even a thing

Yes. 4 consecutive seasons with his teams conceding less than 30 goals in a season.

Make that 11. Oh well

>They're still one of the best teams in europe
without Simeone they'd be Sevilla tier at best.
and come on, for how many seasons is he gonna stay there still? he wont win important titles again, literally la liga's Pochettino, eternal 2nd in every major competition.
he should go to Manure.

>he should go to Manure.
he won't win anything there either

If he did this well with Atletico you don't think he could win with unlimited funding?

he will probably suffer from the same Mourinho weakness, in that he overachieves with less glamourous teams but doesn't necessarily translate to success with big budgets. Flashy stars usually don't want to play in defensive systems and sacrifice themselves for the rest

>defence is everything

they drew twice vs guccibag in the CL

Well he doesn't have to buy flashy stars if he doesn't want to. What flashy signings has he made at Atletico? Their best players now are Saul, Koke, Godin, Gimenez, Partley, Costa and Griezmann, with Griezmann being the only one you could consider to be in the mold but even then when he first joined Atletico he wasn't a star

>Well he doesn't have to buy flashy stars if he doesn't want to.
then you don't need a big budget at all

You're talking bullshit. That was the best decision to make EL better.

But with a big budget you can afford to buy 100 non-stars rather than just 10 non-stars like he does now; much higher chance of coming across someone who's good

>11 goals for Oblak
>12 for Ter Stegen
>Every other keeper has received at least 16 more goals
Who will take the Zamora, lads?

Griezmann wasn't playing shit for a while

Otra manita? KEK

They played like shit during the first half of the season. Once Costa started playing, they were like a whole new team. They should walk the EL

Griezman will leave at the end of the season tho.
Carasco too

To where? P$G? Buyern?

He is not leaving

Man Utd obviously

Manure
Carasco to CSL (lol)

They fucked up twice against some armenian team

They're Azerbaijani you racist fuck

Greizy is definitely staying.

Simeone isn't leaving and Griezmann probably won't either. This team is set up real nice for long-term success. They don't even spend all that much.

>Long term success
Gabi, Godin, Juanfran and Filipe Luis, aka the backbone of the team, are old as fuck. Also their morally dead after losing to Real in the CL 4 years running

Really wanted Loko to go far this europa :(

simeone is the only one who can lead argentina to a world cup win. hopefully he sits in the hot chair after another inevitable crash & burn in russia. imagine dybala, icardi and aguero under based diego
