I don't think it's enough to change Diego Simeone.
I think you see Atletico Madrid at home go into that posture that you were talking about, Ali, of sitting back and defending a lead.
And nothing would be more inviting to Barcelona than Atleti sitting back and it becoming a shootout between the two.
Barcelona won't, I don't think, will be overly concerned about conceding one or maybe two goals.
They just keep going forward.
And I think it is well within Barca's capabilities to score two, to take this extra time as need be.
For all the arguments about Manuel Neus' performance, mighty match performance in the first leg, and Real Madrid having opportunities, we actually should be talking about a 3-1 scoreline at the end of the day.
Even with all of that, given the push on Olicen late on.
Bayern are just too balanced.
And while, yes, we want to romanticize about Real Madrid and the Champions League, for good reason, I'll add, this version of Bayern, I don't think succumb or give up that lead.
Let me also say, just in terms of the probably strongest argument for Real Madrid is Manuel Neuer and his performance.
