Ale Moreno

And this is what I'll say.

Before the Zorloth goal, when he was 1-0 and there are men out,

I don't know about anybody else.

I was yelling at the TV and Atletico Madrid that they were taking this posture as if they were hanging on to a result and allowing Barcelona to have all the initiative in the game, even being a man down.

Yes, but it...

it did not make me very happy, I'll just say that.

I was thinking, here's an opportunity.

Now, it ends up working out, they end up scoring the second goal, Barcelona don't score any, and so it feels like it's very much Barcelona with, according to Sid,

5% chance.

I give Barcelona more than that because Atletico Madrid had an opportunity to really deliver the death blow and they chose to be conservative and I'm just not on board with that approach, just in general.

The game presents you with opportunities, go and take advantage of those opportunities.

Diego Simeone and Atletico Madrid chose to be far more conservative.

I didn't like that.

And it's a really valid point, Shaka, I must tell you.

Unlike your power rankings, this made sense.

Oh, steady.

When you think of the common denominator of those results that Sid was talking about of Atletico Madrid at home against both Barcelona and Real Madrid, the approach

of Simeone and Atletico Madrid in both of those games was high pressure all over the field getting in the faces of both Real Madrid and Barcelona if the approach is to protect from the very start of the game and that's the posture to Xhaka's point you are giving all the initiative and inviting Barcelona yeah I suppose that you're playing from the counter and that there will be opportunities for you to exploit the

well-versed and talked about high line.

Yeah, I suppose so.
