Craig Burley

He's got the Champions League, obviously, they're going to get a bye.

So he's got all these things he's thinking about.

He doesn't have to worry about that.

But they were embarrassed badly tonight.

So he will want a response.

He will want a response from his team in the league because he knows Real Madrid are sniffing behind him.

He knows they're not a great side, but he knows they are still on their tail.

And he will be looking for his players to...

give him in the second leg, which he didn't get tonight.

I mean, they were absolutely horrendous tonight.

Yeah, they got better in the second half, but they had to.

They had to push forward.

And yeah, they defended a little better, but obviously Eric Garcia got sent off.

That was last ditch.

But they didn't have to defend as much in the second half because...

Atleti just sat a little bit deeper, as they do sometimes.

But what he saw from his team in the first half was nothing short of embarrassing.

So I do expect a response from them, particularly in this competition.

And that's why I still think this game, as big a gap as there is, is not quite dead in the water just yet.

They haven't complained about that, have they, Real Madrid?
