And while I agree with that, theoretically, yes, that makes sense.

Once you recognize you have no pressure on the ball, these defenders have to have the flexibility of thought to say, hey, let's give ourselves a little bit more space.

It cannot be that Lukman is first to the ball all the time, that Giuliano Simeone is first to the ball all the time, that Griezmann, who cannot run away from anybody at this point in his career, he's first to the ball all the time, that Julian Alvarez is first to the ball all the time, and that every single situation and every single sequence is Barcelona chasing back.

That tells you that your starting position is all wrong to begin with.

It was 4-0, and it's no exaggeration that it could have been.

No exaggeration.

It could have been 8-0 at halftime.

That's how many chances Atletico Madrid were creating.

And had Julian Alvarez had a better night finishing, and Antoine Griezmann, who actually scored a goal as well, if he had had a better night at finishing...

He could have scored a hat trick.

Julian Alvarez could have scored a hat trick.

It was open all over the place, and to your point, no adjustment, which tells me this is just crazy.

As a former player, to see it happening,

regularly over the course of a match and no adjustment made, it is crazy talk.

It is really something that is hard to understand and hard to fathom that it happens at this high of a level.

I just want to say very quickly.

Diego Simone, in his press conference, addressed the High Line and said, in a very sort of kind of paying respect to Barcelona, but the tone of it, if you know things about tone, and my wife tells me that I have an issue with tone, if you know anything about tone,

His tone was that, yeah, I really admire what Hansi Flick and Barcelona and their willingness to go and press the ball and suffocating with their pressure.

And it's almost as if he knew, man, if we are able to force a turnover and we play that first ball forward, we are going to kill this team.

And they did that and more.
